Am
You are the empire

The promised land beneath my feet
     G                F
The contrast, that offends my firm theology
     Am
We tried to fit your ways
        C
In the boxes humans made
                    G
So either you're a heretic
    F
Or you're the son of God

             Am
You are the relapse

Of quiet streams and greener paths
     G             F
The foot-notes, of ancient words our language lacks
            Am                          C
We could scribble out the notes in the books that your friends wrote
                           Em
Cause either everyone's a heretic
            Dm
Or they've heard the voice of God


[Chorus]
Dm F
Ooooh
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more
                                          Dm  F
And break my heart so it looks more like yours
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more

Offend my mind

Offend my mind


[Interlude]
 F  Am  G  D


[Verse 2]
             Am
You are the contrast

A tender word and a stomach leap
     G           F
The constant, offending Greek mythology
 Am
Capitalize the "G" in the name of He who bleeds
                 G       D
You really resurrect me
N.c.             Am
Tell me directly,   am I just a modern pharisee
        G                F
Do my thoughts scream a renewed mind or just words I speak
           Am                         C
And if you walk into my home and you make your glory known
                Em
Would my tears soak your feet
             Dm
Or would I crucify you


[Chorus]
Dm F
Ooooh
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more
                                          Dm  F
And break my heart so it looks more like yours
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more

Offend my mind
Dm F
Ooooh
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more
                                          Dm  F
And break my heart so it looks more like yours
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more

Offend my mind


[Bridge 1]
F
Ooooooh
               A
Prophet and the priest
            C
Crucify my disbelief
       D
The divine reminds me of the hope inside me
F
Oooooh
              A
Counter of the stars
                 C
Resurrect my broken heart

The contrast soothes my mind


[Bridge 2]
           Dm
You're the earth that I reside in
             F
I break the rules, you break the silence
          Am
I see the power in your eyes
           C
You're glorious, I'm terrified
            Dm
A grain of sand upon an island
           F
The real estate inside your eyelids
       Am
I'm a tooth inside a smile
         C
I'm the soul you reconciled
            Dm
Would you offend my mind

Offend my mind
   F
Offend my mind

Offend my mind
             Am
Would you offend my mind

Offend my mind

Ooooh


[Chorus]
N.c.                                       Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more
                                          Dm  F
And break my heart so it looks more like yours
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more

Offend my mind
Dm F
Ooooh
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more
                                          Dm  F
And break my heart so it looks more like yours
                                           Am  G
Offend my mind so that I can know you more
