Lauryn Hill : Selah Amaj7 F#m Nothing can be done against the truth Bm E Amaj7 No matter how we remain in denial Amaj7 F#m Wasting time Replacing time With each empty excuse Bm E Amaj7 But that'll only work a little while Bm E Coping with despair Amaj7 F#m Knowing you're not there Bm E Amaj7 Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool Bm E So I blame it on the sun Amaj7 F#m Run away from everyone Bm E Amaj7 Hoping to escape this ridicule C#m F#m Trapped in misery C#m F#m Wrapped so miserably Bm E Amaj7 In this deception that I'm wearin' like a skin C#m F#m Dying to maintain C#m F#m Oh I keep trying to explain Bm E Amaj7 A heart that never loved me to begin Bm E Oh I'm such a mess Amaj7 F#m I have no choice but to confess Bm E Amaj7 That I've been desperately trying to belong Bm E Lying to myself Amaj7 F#m And everybody else Bm E Amaj7 Refusing to admit my right was wrong Amaj7 And then he came F#m Selah Bm And it means C#m Praise and Meditation Amaj7 And then he came F#m Selah Bm And it means C#m Did ya think about that?

And he came Selah Oh and it means Meditation And then he came Selah Oh and it means That it is seen And then he came
