Intro:
F#F#  C#C#  D#mD#m  A#mA#m


Verse 1:
F#F# C#C#        D#mD#m A#mA#m     F#F# C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   You see my wandering heart inside my chest
F#F# C#C#        D#mD#m  A#mA#m       F#F# C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   You know my anxious thoughts and wish me rest.
F#F# C#C#     D#mD#m A#mA#m      F#F# C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   We know these ravenous roads surround
F#F# C#C#     D#mD#m A#mA#m         F#F#  C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   Every ear is ringing with the looming sound
F#F# A#mA#m            C#/F G#G#
   I am sitting in silence    atop stormiest seas
F#F# A#mA#m             C#/F G#G#
   and I wait for the waters    to wash over me

Verse 2:
F#F# C#C#       D#mD#m A#mA#m    F#F#  C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   Though dense and heavy conditions thrive
F#F# C#C#        D#mD#m A#mA#m        F#F# C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   I get a feeling that we’ll make it out alive
F#F# C#C#     D#mD#m  A#mA#m        F#F# C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   Too often we’re wishing the night a - way
F#F# C#C#        D#mD#m A#mA#m      F#F# C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   but without it we couldn’t define the day
F#F# A#mA#m            C#/F G#G#
   I am sitting in silence    atop stormiest seas
F#F# A#mA#m             C#/F G#G#
   and I wait for the waters    to wash over me


Chorus:
C#C#              F#F#
You see our struggles and our sorrow
          A#mA#m
I am already on my knees
          F#F#
I am an echo of the hero
              C#C#
who faced the fires before me
           F#F#
He is the arbiter of comfort
             A#mA#m
making his place in the unknown
              D#mD#m
I see the footprints of the hero
      F#F#       C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
this is the pathway to his home

F#F#  C#C#  D#mD#m  A#mA#m

   You know my anxious thoughts and wish me rest.
F#F# C#C#         D#mD#m  A#mA#m     F#F#  C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   when we are crashing as waves along the shore
F#F# C#C#      D#mD#m  A#mA#m      F#F# C#C#  D#mD#m A#mA#m
   we’re grasping the God who broke before
F#F# A#mA#m             C#/F G#G#
   Can we stand as a people,    finding peace with our lot?
F#F# A#mA#m              C#/F G#G#
   Can we suffer in stillness,    believing we’re bought?
