*Note to Archivist: A chord was wrong in the chorus and solo/bridge. It
was an E minor not an E major chord. Please replace the existing file
with this one. Thank you.
Jars plays this song a couple of different ways. This is the album
version, not a live or the dove awards version.
I've got almost all the Jars' songs in case you want to know how to
play them exactly the way they do. Feel free to email me about this
transcription or any other song by them. (isaiahrain@hotmail.com or

To make things [B7sus]right
Verse 2: (same as verse 1)
You spiral down
You've broken your crown
You don't feel like a queen
You've seen the proof
But you're still crying wolf
You'll never believe

Grip the missing rungs
