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

And then he came

Amaj7
And then he came
F#m
Selah
Bm
And it means
C#m
Did ya think about that?
Amaj7
And then he came
F#m
Selah
Bm
Oh and it means
C#m
Praise and Meditation
Amaj7
And then he came
F#m
Selah
 Bm
oh and it means
C#m
That it is seen

How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots?
My guilty heart behaved so foolishly
This treason from within
That reasons with my sin
Won't be happy till it sees the death of me

Selfishly addicted
To a life that I depicted
Conflicted cuz it's not reality
Oh what's left of me
I beg you desperately
Cause me to agree to what I know is 
best for me
Please save me from myself
I need you to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can 
heal

The choices that I have made
Oh have been nothing but mistakes
What a wasted use of space
Should I die before I wake?
In all of my religion
I've fortified this prison
Obligated to obey
The demands of bad decisions

Please save me from myself
I need you to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can 
heal

And then he came Selah
And it means Praise and Meditation
And then he came Selah
And it means 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
