Lauryn Hill : Selah
[Amaj7] [F#m]
Nothing can be done against the truth
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
No matter how we remain in denial
[Amaj7] [F#m]
Wasting time Replacing time With each empty excuse
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
But that'll only work a little while
[Bm] [E]
Coping with despair
[Amaj7] [F#m]
Knowing you're not there
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool
[Bm] [E]
So I blame it on the sun
[Amaj7] [F#m]
Run away from everyone
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Hoping to escape this ridicule
[C#m] [F#m]
Trapped in misery
[C#m] [F#m]
Wrapped so miserably
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
In this deception that I'm wearin' like a skin
[C#m] [F#m]
Dying to maintain
[C#m] [F#m]
Oh I keep trying to explain
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
A heart that never loved me to begin
[Bm] [E]
Oh I'm such a mess
[Amaj7] [F#m]
I have no choice but to confess
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
That I've been desperately trying to belong
[Bm] [E]
Lying to myself
[Amaj7] [F#m]
And everybody else
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Refusing to admit my right was wrong
[Refrain:]
[Amaj7]
And then he came
[F#m]
Selah
[Bm]
And it means
[C#m]
Praise and Meditation
[Amaj7]
And then he came
[F#m]
Selah
[Bm]
And it means
[C#m]
Did ya think about that?
[Amaj7]
And then he came
[F#m]
Selah
[Bm]
Oh and it means
[C#m]
Praise and Meditation
[Amaj7]
And then he came
[F#m]
Selah
[Bm]
oh and it means
[C#m]
That it is seen
[Bm] [E]
How beautiful is fruit
[Amaj7] [F#m]
still in denial of its roots?
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
My guilty heart behaved so foolishly
[Bm] [E]
This treason from within
[Amaj7] [F#m]
That reasons with my sin
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Won't be happy till it sees the death of me
[Bm] [E]
Selfishly addicted
[Amaj7] [F#m]
To a life that I depicted
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Conflicted cuz it's not reality
[Bm] [E]
Oh what's left of me
[Amaj7] [F#m]
I beg you desperately
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Cause me to agree to what I know is best for me
[Bm] [E]
Please save me from myself
[Amaj7] [F#m]
I need you to save me from myself
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Please save me from myself so I can heal
[Bm] [E]
The choices that I have made
[Amaj7] [F#m]
Oh have been nothing but mistakes
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
What a wasted use of space Should I die before I wake?
[Bm] [E]
In all of my religion
[Amaj7] [F#m]
I've fortified this prison
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Obligated to obey The demands of bad decisions
[Bm] [E]
Please save me from myself
[Amaj7] [F#m]
I need you to save me from myself
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Please save me from myself so I can heal
[Amaj7]
And then he came
[F#m]
Selah
[Bm]
And it means
[C#m]
Praise and Meditation
[Amaj7]
And then he came
[F#m]
Selah
[Bm]
And it means
Did ya think about that?
[Amaj7]
And he came
[F#m]
Selah
[Bm]
Oh and it means
[C#m]
Meditation
[Amaj7]
And then he came
[F#m]
Selah
[Bm]
Oh and it means
[C#m]
That it is seen
[Amaj7] [Bm] [Amaj7]
And then he came
