• Capo on 4th

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
Am  G  Am  G  Am

Verse:
          G    Bm
I was broken by the power
            G   Am
I was swallowed by the need
          G    Bm
I was hiding in the corner
            G  Em
When a voice called to me

Verse:
           C  Bm
He understood my mystery
              C   G
Soothed the wounds of my despair
            C  Bm
With his grace he tenderly
              G   Am
Brushed the tangles from my hair

Chorus:
             G   F
I'm feeling better by the hour
             G   Em
I think I just might be okay
               G    F
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
               Dm   Am
Think I can live with what remains

Verse:
            G     Bm
As I sorted through the wreckage
           G   Am
Sitting in my silent fast
             G    Bm
On my bed of hard-earned ashes
            G   Em
Still repenting for my past

Verse:
               C    Bm
My body ached and shook with anger
              C    G
As I walked through narrow gates
             C     Bm
And I left those walls behind me
          G   Am
And with them my mistakes

Chorus:
             G   F
I'm feeling better by the hour
             G   Em
I think I just might be okay
               G    F
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
               Dm   Am
Think I can live with what remains
