[Verse 1]
It [Am]soars[F]
With its massive trunk
breaching [E]the clouds[Am]
It [E]soars[Am][F]
Its shadow stretches across
[C]the [D5]land[Dm].

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Its dominion from shore to [F]shore,
Its spell creeps in under every [C]door.[Dm]
Its dominion from shore to [F]shore,
The tower needs more.

[Verse 4]
See it [Am]rise in the distance,
Massive [F]mammoth made

Contorting and ex[E]panding
[Am]Bloo[E]d upon brick, [F]brick on bone.

And it [C]all [Dm]leans down[F]
Slop[C]ing [Dm]heavily towards a shattered
end on barren grounds.

Why did we build it?

Because we built it.

Slop[E]ing [C]heav[Dm] ily towards a shattered
end on barren [F]grounds.

[Verse 10]
As one draws closer [B]to the
spire [G#m]beckoning [B]you,[G#m]
[C#m]The crookedness straightens out
[G#m]dispelling each trace of doubt.
[E]It is perfect in every seam
This divine [G#m]gra cious beam.
[E]To the heavens up from the ground,
a cable [G#m]bound.

Drawing closer [G#m]to the top,
[C#m]Of that divine gracious beam,
[G#m]So perfect in every seam,
[E]

[Verse 12]
One will lose sight of the ground.
On ones journey heaven [G#m]bound.
[E]One will lose sight of the ground.
While one [G#m]is heav[D#]
[G#m]en bou[E]nd.
[G#m]While [D]one is [D5]heaven bou[G#m]nd.[E]
While one [G#m]is heaven [Dm]bound.
[D5]While one [Dm]is heav[D]en [Am]bound.
While one is [G#m]heav e[Eb]n bou[G#m]nd.
