Intro
F Am G D x2
Verse 1:
Am
You are the empire
The promised land beneath my feet
G F
The contrast, that offends my firm theology
Am
We tried to fit your ways
C
In the boxes humans made
G
So either you're a heretic
F
Or you're the son of God
Am
You are the relapse
Of quiet streams and greener paths
G F
The foot-notes, of ancient words our language lacks
Am C
We could scribble out the notes in the books that your friends wrote
Dm
Cause either everyone's a heretic
Dm
Or they've heard the voice of God
Dm F
Ooooh
Am G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more
Dm F
And break my heart so it looks more like yours
Am G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more
Offend my mind
Offend my mind
Interlude

Verse 2:

You are the contrast
A tender word and a stomach leap
G F
The constant, offending Greek mythology
Am
Capitalize the 'G' in the name of He who bleeds
G D
You really resurrect me
N.C.
Am
Tell me directly, am I just a modern pharisee
G F
Do my thoughts scream a renewed mind or just words I speak
Am C
And if you walk into my home and you make your glory known
Em
Would my tears soak your feet
Dm
Or would I crucify you
Dm F
Ooooh
Am G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more

And break my heart so it looks more like yours

Offend my mind so that I can know you more

The real estate inside your eyelids
