C#       G#     D#
Careless, I am reckless
       C#                  G#
I'm a wrong-way-travelin-slowly-unraveling
  D#
shell of a man
C#       G#        D#
Burnt out, I'm so numb now
         C#                        G#
That the fire's just an ember way down
              D#
in the corner of my cold, cold heart

Fm         D#                C#
Lord this time I'll make it right,
            A#m             Fm
here at the altar I lay my life

oh Lord
   C# G#   Fm                D#           C#
I try but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
            G#               C#
I will not lose my follow through
            D#            C#  G# D#
Between the altar and the door

Here at the altar
Oh my world so black and white
How could I ever falter?
What You've shown me to be right

Lord, this time
I'll make it right
Here at the altar I lay my life
Your kingdom come
But my will was done
My heart is broken as I
