G                    C         G C
Surely my sins have found me out
G                       C        G C
God rest my soul, but show me out
G                    C           G C
Surely my sins have found me out
G                      C           G C
Spit on my grave, but kiss my mouth

Chorus:
  Am                         Bm
Surely we'll live to see the day
 Am                            Bm
When all of our problems, they fade away

I see your heartbreak and I feel your pain
It's funny how heaven and hell are the same
Come walk with me, I don't play those games
I live in the real world, I've lost my faith

Chorus

G                    C
Only two things in this life that are sure,
     G          C
of that I'm sure
G                    C
Only two things in this life that are sure,
     G          C
of that I'm sure
G                    C
Only two things in this life that are sure,
     G          C
of that I'm sure

 G                   C          G C
Surely my sins have found me out
Em7                      D                 G
Only two things in this life that are sure,
of that I’m sure
Em7   D       G
Death and taxes
Em7   D       G
Death and taxes
