[Verse 1]

C         E-/B         A-              C
When I am dead and the light leaves my breast
A-            G     F             G
Nothing to be told, nothing to confess
C              E-/B       A-                G
Let the record show what I couldn't quite confess
       A-           G          F            G
For by living for myself I was living for unrest
         C             E-/B      A-         C
Then the evidence came back in a chariot of vindication
A-             G     F               G
Something to behold, glorious in its path
        A-            E-/B       A-            C
But the prophecy fell back as it gave to me an invitation
A-                G      F                 G
Show them what is right, show them what is blessed


[Chorus]

     D-    C/E        F              G
But now it strikes me far too late again
           D-             C/E     F         G
That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
    D-     C/E        F              G
And now it strikes me far too late again
              D-            C/E          F               G
That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me

[Verse 2]

C                 E-/B      A-                   C
So what should be said of a life that leaves its mess?
    A-                  G            F            G
For once your life was sold it could never be possessed
         C              E-/B                A-              C
You were selfishly as a continent, you were finally at your best
        A-               G        F               G
For you favored for yourself when selfishness was blessed
     A-            E-/B      A-          C
Then Cordelia came back in a chariot hallucination
A-             G      F               G
Something to rejoice, glorious in its wrath
        C              E-/B            A-            C
But the prophecy was a pantomime as it came to me in accusation
A-                G      F                 G
Show them what is right, show them what is best


[Chorus]
     D-     C/E       F              G
But now it strikes me far too late again
           D-             C/E      F          G
That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
     D-     C/E        F              G
And now it strikes me far too late again
              D-            C/E           F              G
That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me


[Verse 3]

     C      E-/B             A-                  C
And now it frightens me, the thought against my chest
               A-           G
To think I was asking for a reason
               F                G
Explaining why everything's a total mess
     A-       E-/B              A-              C
And now it frightens me, the dreams that I possess
               A-               G
To think I was acting like a believer
                 F            G
When I was just angry and depressed


[Bridge]

            A-                 G
And to everything, there is no meaning
             F                G
A season of pain and hopelessness
                  A-              G
I shouldn't have looked for revelation
                  F               G
I should have resigned myself to this
                  D-               C/E
I thought I could change the world around me
                  F                    G
I thought I could change the world for best
                 D-             C/E
I thought I was called in convocation
                 F              G
I thought I was sanctified and blessed


[Verse 4]

     C      E-/B             A-                 C
But now it strengthens me to know the truth at last
                A-                G
That everything comes from consummation
                F                G
And everything comes with consequence
              A-           G
And I did it all with exultation
                  F                G
While you did it all with hopelessness
               A-           G
Yes, I did it all with adoration
                     F                    G
While you killed it off with all of your holy mess


[Outro]

      C         E-/B     A-
What now? (What now?)
      C       A-
(What now?)
       G      F
(What now?)
       G
(What now?)
      C          E-/B    A-
What now? (What now?)
        C
(What now?)
        G     F
(What now?)
       G
(What now?)
