Am G Am

[Verse 1]
Am
We will be the forgotten ones

They will shake their heads and pity us
G
We who sacrificed our sons and daughters
                                   Am
With the sweet taste of victory on our lips

They will cry, but their tears will come too late
G
There is no redemption for the ones
                                  Am
Who choose to walk in the shadows

[Chorus]
 Am            F
Oh sweet redeemer
              G
Will you save a place for me
          Em                  E        Am
I am tired and I'm seeking restitution
Am               F
Oh will you heal me
             G
Will you take away my pain
                  E               Am
What I'm looking for is absolution

[Verse 2]
Am
Getting out of purgatory is no small accomplishment
      G
And the price is high
                                     E            Am
And it comes with it's own set of conditions
Am
The choice is never clear

And difficult to make
      G
But it will not change them
                                          E           Am
They will just go on the way they always have

[Chorus]
Am              F
Oh sweet redeemer
G
Will you save a place for me
          Em                E          Am
I am tired and I'm seeking restitution
Am               F
Oh will you heal me
             G
Will you take away my pain
                           E             Am
What I'm looking for is absolution

[Instrumental]
Am     Em      Am     Em    Bm
Am      F      G     E     Am
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Am           F
Oh sweet redeemer
G
Will you save a place for me
          Em               E          Am
I am tired and I'm seeking restitution
Am               F
Oh will you heal me
             G
Will you take away my pain
                           E      Am
What I'm looking for is absolution
