[Verse 1]
Bm
You are the empire,
Bm
The Promised Land beneath my feet,
A
The contrast,
A
That offends my firm theology,
G
We tried to fit Your ways,
G
In the boxes humans made,
A
So either You're a heretic,
A
Or You're the Son of God.
[Verse 2]
Bm
You are the relapse,
Bm
Of quiet streams and greener paths,
A
The footnotes,
A
Of ancient words our language lacks,
G
We can scribble out the notes,
G
In the books that Your friends wrote,
Em
'Cause either everyone's a heretic,
Em
Or they've heard the voice of God.
[Chorus]
G Bm
Ooh, offend my mind so that I can know You more,
Dsus2 D Dsus2 G
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours,
Bm
Offend my mind so that I can know You more,
A
Offend my mind, offend my mind.

[Verse 3]
Bm
You are the contrast,
Bm
A tender word and a stomach leap,
A
The constant,
A
Would You offend my Greek mythology?
G
Capitalize the "g",
G
In the name of He who bleeds,
A
You really resurrect me, oh.
[Verse 4]
Bm
Tell me directly,
Bm
Am I just a modern Pharisee?
A
Do my thoughts scream,
A
A renewed mind or just words I speak?
G
And if You walk into my home,
G
And You make Your glory known,
Em
Would my tears soak Your feet,
Em
Or would I crucify You?
[Chorus]
G Bm
Ooh, offend my mind so that I can know You more,
Dsus2 D Dsus2 G
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours,
Bm
Offend my mind so that I can know You more,
A
Offend my mind,
G Bm
Ooh, offend my mind so that I can know You more,
Dsus2 D Dsus2 G
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours,
Bm
Offend my mind so that I can know You more,
A
Offend my mind.
[Bridge]
Bm D
Ooh, Prophet and a Priest,
A
Crucify my disbelief,
Bm A Asus4 A
The Diviner reminds me of the hope in----side me,
Bm D
Ooh, Counter of the stars,
A Asus4
Resurrect my broken heart,
Asus4 A
The contrast soothes my mind.
[Verse 5]
Em
You're the earth that I reside in,
G
I break the rules, You break the silence,
Bm
I see the power in Your eyes,
A
You're glorious, I'm terrified,
Em
Grain of sand upon an island,
G
Real estate inside Your eyelids,
Bm
I'm a tooth inside the smile,
A
I'm a soul You reconcile.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Would You offend my mind, offend my mind,
G
Offend my mind, offend my mind?
Bm A
Would You offend my mind, offend my mind, oh?
[Chorus]
N.C. Bm* Bm A
Offend my mind so that I can know You more,
D G
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours,
Bm A
Offend my mind so that I can know You more,
A
Offend my mind,
G Bm A
Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more,
D G
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours,
Bm A
Offend my mind so that I can know You more,
A
Offend my mind, offend my mind.
