Cannot Keep You by Gungor
[Intro]
  C#m    Amaj7    E   G#m7x2
[Verse 1]
C#mThey tried to keep you in a tent
Amaj7They could not keep you in a teEmple
Or any of their iG#m7dols, to see and understand
C#mWe cannot keep you in a church
Amaj7We cannot keep you in a BEible
Or it's just another G#m7idol to box you in
C#mThey could not keep you in their walls
Amaj7We cannot keep you in ours eiEther
For you are so much G#m7greater
[Chorus]
AWho is Blike the LEord
The maker of the heavens
AWho dwells Bwith the pEoor
He lifts them from the ashes
AAnd He Cdimseats them among C#mprinces
BWho is like the LAordB  E  
[Verse 2]
C#mWe've tried to keep you in our tents
Amaj7We've tried to keep you in our Etemples
We've worshiped all our G#m7idols
We want all that to end
C#mSo we will find you in the streets
Amaj7And we will find you in the priEsons
And even in our G#m7Bibles and churches
[Chorus]
AWho is Blike the LEord
The maker of the heavens
AWho dwells Bwith the pEoor
He lifts them from the ashes
AAnd He Cdimseats them among C#mprinces
BWho is like the LAordB  E  
[Bridge]
          G#m   A(or Adim7)   F#m7  
We cannot contain, cannot contain
The glory Eof your B/D#name
Ending
AWho is Blike the LEord
You took me from the ashes
AAnd you Cdimhealed me from my C#mblindness
BWho is like the ALordB  C#m7
