Forgive Them Father 
Tom: Em
Em  
[Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against 
Although them again we will never, never, never trust
Dem noh know weh dem do, dig out yuh hei while dem sticking like glue
Fing, skin, grin while dem plotting fah you. True, Ah Who? ]
             Am               C                 Bm
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do
Em         Am 
Beware the false motives of others 
C             Bm                      Em
Be careful of those who pretend to be Brothers 
        Am                               C                   Bm
And you never suppose it’s those who are closest to you (to you)
C        Em                                 C 
They say all the right things to gain their position 
     Em                             G
Then use your kindness as their ammunition to shoot you down
                 D 
in the name of ambition, they do oh 
Em           Am               C                 Bm
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do
Em           Am               C                 Bm
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do
[Lauryn Hill rap verse]
Why every Indian wanna be the chief?
Feed a man 'til he's full and he still want beef
Give me grief, try to tief off my piece
Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak?
You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets
I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek
But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
And other African czars observing stars with war scars
Get yours in this capitalistic system
So many caught or got bought you can't list them
How you gonna idolize the missing?
To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition
Even when they comin' gunnin’ I stand position
L's known the mission since conception
Let's free the people from deception
If you looking for the answers
Then you gotta ask the questions
And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto
Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
Why black people always be the ones to settle
March through these streets like Soweto
G                         D                      D
Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas, 
     Em 
Back stabbers do this
             Am               C                 Bm
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do
Em           Am               C                 Bm
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do
Em         Am 
It took me a little while to discover
C             Bm                        Em
Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers
Am                               C                   Bm
Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves, to themselves
C           Em             C 
A friend once said, and I found to be true
     Em                    G
That everyday people, they lie to God too
   D                               D
So what makes you think, that they won't lie to you
[Gwan like dem love while dem rip yuh to shreds,
Trample pon yuh heart and lef yuh fi dead,
Dem a yuh fren who yuh depen pon from way back when,
But if yuh gi dem yuh back den yuh mus meet yuh end,
Dem noh know wey dem do,
Dem no know, dem no know, dem no know,
Dem no know, dem no know wey dem do]
G                             D 
Who's gonna be the one, gonna be the one to say

Lose Myself
Tom: A
Intro: A D C#m Bm (3x)
A		D
I used to do it for the love a long time ago
        C#m	Bm	        A
And all I ever wanted was love
A		D
I used to love without fear a long time ago
       C#m       Bm	        A
And all I ever wanted was love
A		     	D
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
C#m				Bm	
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy
A			D
Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty
C#m				Bm	
Truth was they never did deserve me 
A (Switch to 1st position)
No!
Chorus:
A		D       C#m		    Bm
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
A			D		   C#m		            Bm
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better
A		D	D
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
C#m			Bm
So I could love you better
A			D
Had to lose myself in love
C#m			Bm
And that’s just the way it is…
Repeat Strum pattern for verses
Couldn’t tell me I was love when I needed it
When, all I ever wanted was love. 
Should a told me just me because!
I’m worth receiving it 
But all I ever wanted was love 
There’s is something awkward about the selflessness it takes to
Give love and the good that it makes you!
True love can never really forsake you
But it took a little while just for me to see! 
Chorus:
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
So I could love you better
Had to lose myself in love
And that’s just the way it is…
I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure
And I couldn’t love you perfectly with fear in my head
So I peerlessly had to face the danger
So I could come back and love you whole instead
All of your soul I said!
So I could make it better
Chorus:
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
So I could love you better
Had to lose myself in love
And that’s just the way it is…
B-Sec:
F#m
And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
Bm
Couldn’t stay but I never meant to desert you
C#m
Whole lot a things I just had to work thru
Bm
Time to heal and restore myself worth too
F#m
Confrontation of my fears and anxiety 
Bm
Cried a whole lot years I suffered quietly 
C#m
And though it may have taken years I can finally!
F#m					A
Tell you that you were always on my mind!
Chorus:
A		D	C#m		    Bm
I had to lose myself so I could make it better
A			D		     C#m   		Bm
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could make it better
A			D
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
C#m			Bm
So I could make it better
A			D
Had to lose myself in love
C#m			Bm	
And that was just the way!
(Use Adam Lives In Theory Strum)
Bridge:
A			D
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
C#m				Bm
Great love to absorb all the misuse I did
A				D
Hey baby it’s not an excuse I give.
C#m					Bm
And I’d do it all again because for you I live
 
A			D
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
C#m				Bm
Great love to absorb all the abuse I did
A				D
Hey baby it’s not an excuse I give.
C#m					      Bm
And I’d do it all again because for you I live 
Chorus:
A		D	C#m		    Bm
I had to lose myself so I could make it better
A			D		     C#m   		Bm
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could make it better
A			D
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
C#m			Bm
So I could make it better
A			D
Had to lose myself in love
C#m			Bm	
And that was just the way!
A	D	C#m	Bm
And that was just way it is….

Tom: Amaj7
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
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
How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots?
My guilty heart behaved so foolishly
This treason from within
That reasons with my sin
Won't be happy till it sees the death of me
Selfishly addicted
To a life that I depicted
Conflicted cuz it's not reality
Oh what's left of me
I beg you desperately
Cause me to agree to what I know is 
best for me
Please save me from myself
I need you to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can 
heal
The choices that I have made
Oh have been nothing but mistakes
What a wasted use of space
Should I die before I wake?
In all of my religion
I've fortified this prison
Obligated to obey
The demands of bad decisions
Please save me from myself
I need you to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can 
heal
And then he came Selah
And it means Praise and Meditation
And then he came Selah
And it means Did ya think about that?
And he came Selah
Oh and it means Meditation
And then he came Selah
Oh and it means That it is seen
And then he came

                      E7
        The sight of you leaves me weak
