Stole My Fame To Grace Chords & Lyrics - The Gray Havens

[CHORUS 1]
You threw me [A]down
You stole my [A]fame
You would not [A]stop until
You crucified my [E]name
You took my [E]boast
Put it in the [E]ground
Buried it in [E]water
Now the water’s showin’ [A]how
I got this spotless repu[A]tation
Not my [A]own
Give me joy and [A]fire
Keep it burnin’ in my [E]soul
But every [E]triumph
I count as [E]mine
It turns to [E]stone
And stone don’t often catch on [A]fire

[VERSE]
So spend some [A]time with me
Grace, spend some [E]time with me
[E]Take these stone shackles
And [A]set me free
Just give me what [D]fire
Will [D]need to burn
Show me that [A]true love
And [A]I’ll return
But till [A]then I’ll for[E]get you and [A]say

[CHORUS 1]
You threw me [A]down
You stole my [A]fame
You would not [A]stop until
You crucified my [E]name
You took my [E]boast
Put it in the [E]ground
Buried it in [E]water
Now the water’s showin’ [A]how
I got this spotless repu[A]tation
Not my [A]own
Give me joy and [A]fire
Keep it burnin’ in my [E]soul
But every [E]triumph
I count as [E]mine
It turns to [E]stone
And stone don’t often catch on [A]fire

[BRIDGE]
[F#m]If joy is like a fire bur[D]nin’ in my soul [A]
(In my [E]soul) [F#m]
The last thing I [D]desire is to feed it [A]stone [F#m]
Cuz stone will just pre[D]tend to be your friend
Because he’s [A]warm inside the fire [C#7]
(Warm inside the [F#m]fire)
But in time he will grow [D]cold
And you’ll grow [D]cold
Until you [E]know the reason why

[CHORUS 2]
So please throw me [A]down
And steal my [A]fame
Please don’t [A]stop until
You crucify my [E]name
Take my [E]boast
Put it in the [E]ground
Bury it in [E]water
Now the water’s showin’ [A]how
I got this spotless repu[A]tation
Not my [A]own
Give me joy and [A]fire
Keep it burnin’ in my [E]soul
But every [E]triumph
I count as [E]mine
It turns to [E]stone
And stone don’t often catch on [A]fire
