Gratitude

vnv nation - gratitude Intro : = = = = = = E E B A E A Verse : = = = = = = E B it is not love , if love is cold to touch . A E it is not belief , when there’s nothing there to trust . E B could not submit , would never bring myself to heel . A E determination grows , as each truth is revealed . Verse : = = = = = = torn and repaired , just to endure it all again . without a reason , for my place in all this pain . though well concealed , the scars they just compound . until theres nothing left of what was my former self . Chorus : = = = = = = = A E my god , look at what we are now - G#m C#m without regret for all the things that we have done . thank you for all the doubts , and for all the questioning , for all the loneliness and for all the suffering . for all the emptiness , and the scars it left inside . it inspired in me , an impetus to fight . for the conviction , for the purpose found along . for the strength and courage , that in me i’ve never known . and if it seems to you , that my words are undeserved , i write this in gratitude for whatever good it serves . Interlude : = = = = = = = = = = E Verse : = = = = = = sometimes i wish , that you could see me now . in the rightful place , where i knew that i belonged . sometimes i wish , that you might someday understand . to close the chapter , and lay to rest the past . Verse : = = = = = = but nothing would change , we make the best of what we have . for we are measured by the actions of our lives . we bide our time , let the future unfold . like immortals , in great legends to be told . Chorus : = = = = = = = my god , look at what we are now - without regret for all the things that we have done . thank you for all the doubts , and for all the questioning , for all the loneliness and for all the suffering . for all the emptiness , and the scars it left inside . it inspired in me , an impetus to fight . to all who stood with me , when we stood as one . thank you for guiding me , for bringing me home . and if it seems that i’m obliged to say these words , i write this in gratitude , the least that you deserve .
