 Verse 1: Beat starts on the Dm, not the A
 
 A    Dm                                     
 I am spent and with death you paid my ransom
         C                A# 
 For the witness of your word
                      A           
 To bring them is the jackal's sin
 C    Dm                            
 Oh... the eyes of death are upon me
                             Gm 
 And the watchman takes his toll
                                   A#            C   
 If the river will run dry it will never take us home
 Dm                                         
  With idle minds we grew unconscious as the
                    Gm                A#                 C 
 hunter stalks his prey His eyes, his eyes are locked on me
 
 Chorus:
 
 A#             Dm       C        
  You cover the darkest part of me
 A#                   Dm               C          
  With a look that's sure to set the captives free
 
 A#5 A#5*
 
 Verse 2:
 A        Dm                           
 Oh, make way for I am not the redeemer
                                  Gm 
 Nor do the mountains fall in my name
                             A#   
 But with slightest cry, my hunter
                      C          
 You will fail to reach your prey
 Dm                                
  Still with idle minds unconscious
                           Gm 
 As the hunter stalks his prey
               A#                 C 
 His eyes, his eyes are locked on me
 
 Chorus:
 A#             Dm       C        
  You cover the darkest part of me
 A#                   Dm               C          
  With a look that's sure to set the captives free
 A#                  Dm        C           
  With love that the blindest eyes will see
 A#             Dm       C        
  You cover the darkest part of me
 
 A#5 A#5* A#5 A#5^
 
 Bridge: Beat starts on the Gm
 
                  Gm      
 As I am met with travesty
 Dm               C              
  And I am broken  and I am empty
 Gm                        Dm        C  
  And through it all I can see your face
 Gm                   Dm  C             
  With words unspoken  I hear your voice
 Gm                   Dm        C         A# 
  I see the hand, the hand that writes it all
                   Dm      C         A#  
 You've called the wind to show its worth
                   Dm     C               A#   
 You've called the sun to brag about its warmth
         Dm          C   A# 
 Because You are the writer
         Dm          C           A#   
 Because You are the soul of the world
 
 Chorus:
 A#             Dm       C        
  You cover the darkest part of me
 A#                   Dm               C          
  With a look that's sure to set the captives free
 A#                  Dm        C           
  With love that the blindest eyes will see
 A#             Dm       C        
  You cover the darkest part of me
 
 A#       Dm          C     
  Because You are the writer
 A#       Dm          C     
  Because You are the writer
