Verse 1:
B          C#m
 Tried to reach you yesterday
E        F#        B
 To lie the lion down beside the lamb

Tried to find the words to say
E          F#         G#m
 I tried to put the white dove in your hands

       G#m    C#m
I'm happy to take my turn
       C#m      D#m
I'm happy to live and learn
       D#m    E
I'm happy to let this slide
F#        B
Till you come around

       C#m      G#m
Cause it's a beautiful ride

It's a beautiful ride
    F#          E
I don't mind if you're willing
       F#
Cause you and I
 G#m     F#   E
Circle in the same sky
     F#   G#m F#    E
You and I could fly side by side
         B
On this beautiful ride

Verse 2:
B           C#m
 We're living with the tapestry
E       F#         B
 The energy of everything we've done

A little bit of you in me
E        F#      G#m
 A little bit of hope in everyone

Pre-Chorus:
       G#m   C#m
I'm happy to make it right
       C#m    D#m

I'm happy to let this go
 F#        B
Until you come around
