 ||: |F...|C...|Gm...|Bb...| :|| <--(2x)
   Old as the hills,  new e v e r y d a y
 It’s in the bones  like it’s DNA
 First taste is sweet  ‘til it rots in your mouth
 Another old  friend who rats you out
 All of the time  in this life
 Can’t loose the ties  that bind
 They shackle our feet,  we trip, we fall
 We crawl
 (The Csus’s are played on the
 |  . |  . |  . |  offbeat.)
  I was born in the mess of it all
 
 Then you  rescued  me, rescued me
Lord,  with a touch of your hand
 Another captive  free again
 Who else in heaven  could do this but you?
 You rescued  me, rescued me
Lord,  with a love out of mind
 Oh, you know  I love it when
 Everyday  I am rescued again
   Over the years  your nature’s way
 Is turning wrongs  into roles you play
 Caught in a spell  that’s o v e r c a s t
 You gain perspective,  it doesn’t last
 All of the time  in this life
 Can’t loose the ties  that blind you
 They’re new everyday,  old as the fall
 The fall
   And I was  born  in the  mess  of it  all
|------end-of-Chorus--------|
 Every day,  every way, every
   Every cheap  imitation
 All of my i m  a g i n a t i o n
 Even my self-preservation
 Is yours  in time
