Verse 1:
There's mAore that rises Ein the morning than the sAun
E/G#More that shF#mines in the night than Ajust the moDon
There's more than just this fire heEre that kAeeps E/G#me waF#mrm
In a sBmhelter that is larger than thDis Eroom
There's a lAoyalty that's deEeper than mere sAentiment
E/G#And a music hF#migher than the songs that I Acan siDng
The stuff of earth comEpetes for the alAlegE/G#ianceF#m  
I owe oBmnly to the giver of all goDod Ethings
Chorus:
So if I sAtand let me stDand on the prF#momise that you will puBmll me throEugh
And if I cBman't let me fDall on the grF#mace that first broughDt mEe to yoAuD  F#m  E  
If I Asing let me sDing for the jF#moy that has boBmrn in me these songs E  E  
But if I wBmeep let it be as a F#mman who is loEnging for his hAome D  F#m  E  
verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
There's mAore that dances oEn the prairies thaAn the wind
E/G#More than puF#mlses in the ocean tAhan the tiDde
There's a love that fiercer than thEe love beAtween E/G#frieF#mnds
More gentlBme than a mother's when her babyD's at her sEide
There's a lAoyalty that's deEeper than mere sAentiment
E/G#And a music hF#migher than the songs that I Acan siDng
The stuff of earth comEpetes for the alAlegF#miance
I owe oBmnly to the giver of all goDod Ethings

Chorus 2: CAPO 2 UP ONE WHOLE STEP (It changes key in the song)
So if I sAtand let me stDand on the prF#momise that you will puBmll me throEugh
And if I cBman't let me fDall on the grF#mace that first broughDt mEe to yoAuD  F#m  E  
If I Asing let me sDing for the jF#moy that has boBmrn in me these songs E  E
