*- The A-A#-Bm is just a walk up the A string...you'll understand when you listen to the song
Verse 1:
D D/F#
I used to live my life in fear
G D
Was worried all the time
D/F#
From waking up to laying down
G D
I had no peace of mind
A Bm
The world became a darkened place
C Bm
A struggle without end
G D
Although bitter times those were
A-A#-Bm G
The days that I began to understand
A D
I was only a man
Verse 2:
I grew up singing songs in church
With questions in my mind
Then turned my back and ran away
From God who gave me life
Then one night His presence fell
I wept and shook in it
I fell down and cried dear, Jesus
Rescue me again, I understand
I am only a man
And He said�
Chorus:
G
What will it be now
D
Will you choose Me or keep swimming up stream now
I�ve been inside your head
G
Hearing you scream out
Bm
But here I am just take My hand and I�ll take out
G D
All of the pain, and all of the fear
Outro: (Just D, D/F#, G...listen to the song for the placements)
I�ll give You my burdens
I�ll give you peace
All of my desires
I�ll give you what you need
And what about these chains Lord
I�ll set you free
But they�re so heavy
Lay them at My feet
I�ll lay them at Your feet
Just promise You won�t leave
I�ll never leave
So where do I go from here Lord
Just follow Me, just follow Me
I�ll follow You, wherever You lead
Wherever You lead�
Something like that. There are hammer-ons and pull-offs I didn't write in, but they're
to pick up if you listen to the song. It's pretty easy, just listen to it and you'll
it pretty quick.
