Chorus: Em D/F# God, help me get away G C Break the chains and set me free Em D/F# G From the other side of me C I am my own worst enemy Em I caught a glimpse in my rear view mirror G Am Of an old familiar face Em Blurry image coming in clearer G Am Of a past I can't erase C Em I could've sworn I put him in the ground B But looks like he's found his way out Chorus: Em D/F# God, help me get away G C Break the chains and set me free Em D/F# G C From the other side of me Em D/F# I can't fight this fight alone G C I'll never make it on my own Em D/F# G Lord Jesus, rescue me C From my own worst enemy I’ll take a step and it’s right behind me Always fighting for control There’s a war that’s raging inside me I feel the battle for my soul It’s like my shadow is dragging me around And You are my only way out Chorus Em Lord, help me C Em Feed the life I'm trying to live C D And starve the life I'm trying to leave C Em Help me believe the old is C B Dead and gone and I am a new creation Chorus: God, help me get away Break the chains and set me free From the other side of me I can’t fight this fight alone I’ll never make it on my own Lord Jesus, rescue me From my own worst enemy - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  B  C  D  Em  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
