D               C
I don't have an explanation
G            D         C
For another lonely night
I just feel this sense of mission
And the sense of what is right

Chorus:
C            G/B
Take it easy on me now
         D
I'd be there if I could
I'm so full of what is right
I can't see what is good

It's a hopeless situation
Lie awake for half the night
You're not sure what's going on here
But you're sure it isn't right

Chorus
Make it easy on yourself
There's nothing more you can do
You're so full of what is right
You can't see what is true

A             G/B
A quality of justice
C              G
A quantity of light
A particle of mercy
Makes the color of right
Gravity and distance
Change the passage of light
Gravity and distance
Change the color of right

Chorus:
Take it easy on me now
I'd be there if I could
I'm so full of what is right
I can't see what is good

Make it easy on yourself
There's nothing more you can do
You're so full of what is right
You can't see what is true

A quality of justice
A quantity of light
A particle of mercy
Makes the color of right

Gravity and distance
Change the passage of light
Gravity and distance
Change the color of right
Change the color of right
