The Altar and The Door Casting Crowns

1 Verse:
Bb           F       C
Careless, I am reckless
        Bb
I'm a wrong way traveling, 
F                               C
Slowly unravelling shell of a man

2 Verse:
Bb                F          C
Burned out, I'm so numb now
                Bb
That the fire's just an ember way 
F                                  C
Down in the corner of my cold, cold heart

Pre Chorus:
Dm                 C                         Bb
The Lord, this time I'll make it right
                     Gm                   Dm
Here at the altar, I lay my life
                          F                                          C
Your Kingdom come but my will was done
C
My heart is broken as I

Chorus:
Bb F         Dm                       C
Cry, like so many times before
             Bb  F                     Dm                      C
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
                  Bb  F
Oh Lord, I try (I'll try)
      Dm                       C                       Bb
But this time Jesus, how can I be sure?
              F                          Bb
I will not lose my follow through
                        C                        Bb
Between the altar and the door

Interlude:
| Bb /// | F /// | C /// | C /// |

What You've shown me to be right
