Jars of Clay
Worlds Apart
Tabbed By: SpaceOut
Standard Tuning: EADGBe

This is a great Jars of Clay song. I'm pretty sure it is 100% but i am working from memory. I did my best to place the chords where they should be in relation to the lyrics but my advise is to listen to the song to get the exact timing and strumming pattern. I hope you enjoy the song as much as i do. Have fun with it and let me know if you have any questions about it.

VERSE:
A    B               A
I am the only one to blame for this
A          B               F#
Somehow it all adds up the same
A              B                C#
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
                         A      B         F#
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
C#                    B                   A   A
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
   C#             B
To rid myself of all but love
   A             A (Pause and let ring)
to give and die

A       B               A
To turn away and not become
A       B                  F#
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
     A               B
more deeply than the oceans,
     C#
more abundant than the tear
     A       B              F#
Of a world embracing every heartache
C#           B               A    A
Can I be the one to sacrifice
    C#                 B                  A          A
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow

CHORUS:
     C#       E              A
(To love you) Take my world apart
    A                     C#
(To need you) I am on my knees
              E              A
(To love you) Take my world apart
    A                       C#       B     A   A(Pause and let ring)
(To need you) Broken on my knees

A            B             A
All said and done I stand alone
A         B          F#
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
   A           B       C#
It takes all I am to believe
        A          B         F#
In the mercy that covers me
C#             B               A    A
Did you really have to die for me?
      C#
All I am for all you are
        B                                  A            A
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart

And I pray

CHORUS:
     C#       E              A
(To love you) Take my world apart
    A                     C#
(To need you) I am on my knees
              E              A
(To love you) Take my world apart
    A                       C#       B     A   A(Pause and let ring)
(To need you) Broken on my knees

OUT:

  C#
I look beyond the empty cross
    B
forgetting what my life has cost
    A
and wipe away the crimson stains
    A
and dull the nails that still remains
C#
More and more I need you now,
   B
I owe you more each passing hour
A
battle between grace and pride
A
give up not so long ago
   C#
So steal my heart and take the pain,
B
wash the feet and cleanse my pride
A
take the selfish, take the weak,
    A
and all the things I cannot hide
C#
take the beauty, take my tears
     B
this sin-soaked heart and make it yours
A
take my world all apart
A
take it now, take it now
C#
and serve the ones that I despise
B
speak the words I can't deny
A
watch the world I used to love
A
fall to dust get blown away
   C#
I look beyond the empty cross
    B
forgetting what my life has cost
   A
so wipe away the crimson stains
    A
and dull the nails that still remain
   C#
so steal my heart and take the pain
B
wash the feet and cleanse my pride
A
take the selfish, take the weak
    A                         C#
and all the things I cannot hide
B              A
take my world apart
                             C#
and I pray, and I pray, and I pray
B              A (Pause and let ring)
take my world apart
          A    B   A
my world apart.
