Defender Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Tonight I [Am]saw a [F]father's love,
in waves, start to [Am]rise
I will not stand by and watch
what I made [F]be demonized
[Am]He insists you dug a hole,
[F]a hole of bitterness
[Am]A rock and a hard place sounds easy
[F]compared to this
[Am][F][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Righteous [Dm]wrath[E]
[Am]Righteous wrath wrapped
in [E]empath[Am]y
Like a [E]hurricane [Am]passing
over a calming sea
Righteous [E]wrath
[Am]Righteous wrath wrapped in [E]empathy
[Am]Like a forest fire spreading

[Interlude 1]
through the pouring rain
[Am]

[Verse 3]
(I would do [Am]anything)
I would do anything to make it through,
[F]but it takes two
One is me, the other's you
[Am]I would do anything to make it thr[F]ough,
but it takes [Am]you

[Verse 4]
[Am]
[C]Rig[Am]hteous wra[E]th
[Am]Righteous wrath wrapped in [E]empathy
[Am]Like a hurri[E]cane passi[Am]ng
over a calming sea
Righteous [C]wrath
[Am]Righteous wrath wrapped in [E]empathy
[Am]Like a forest fire[C] spreading
[Am]through the pouring rain

[Verse 5]
The ones who [Am]know what's [F]best
are the best to have around
[Am]An understanding man doing the
best he [F]can to [Am]comprehend
A voice that [F]shakes as he
calms [Am]the quake
We need a defender who bends
so [F]we don't break

[Verse 6]
[Am]
There [F]is [Faug]no judg[F]e
[Am]I am[F] the jur[Faug]y and t[F]he defe[Am]ndant
The [F]gavel has no [Am]hand
Who will deliver the sentence?

[Verse 7]
[Am]Bitterness has no end

[Verse 8]
[Am]I would do any[Faug]thing to[Am] make it through,
[F]but it takes two
One is me, the other is you
[Am]I would do anything to make it through,
[F]but it takes you[Am]
[F][Am][F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 9]
A friend de[F]fends [Am]the one he [F]loves
[Am]In all t[E]hing[Am]s love,
love [C]transcends

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Dm][Am][E]
[Am]

[Verse 10]
I need a [Am]defender
A voice that shakes to calm
the [F]quake[Am]
I need a defender who bends
[Am]and breaks in my place
