[Verse 1]
Gif I Em7took all Gthat i've gotEm7  
and spread it out on this table
Git might not seem like a lot
a once glimmering joyEm7  
slowly fading Gfrom viewEm7  
all the change in my pocket is not enoughG  
and this picture of you
[Pre-Chorus]
still i've heard aDll that I have
and a momeCnt is hardly a signG  
of eDverything coming my wCay i believe when I nGeed it
it will be Dmine
[Chorus]
Cso lets take this slowly
all I need is coming but
Gits just beyond what I cant see
so if my Ceyes press forward and fierce alarm
just turn my head bDack and to see
Cto see how we got this far
and I'll be alrighGt.
[Verse 2]
Gim not asking for mountains of riches
no silver or gold
dont need faCme or fancy things I can take when I goG  
im just asking for grace
grace, to carry on
grace, to take joCy in my place at the table
and the rock thaGt its standing on
[Pre-Chorus]
still i've heard aDll that I have
and a momeCnt is hardly a signG  
of Deverything coming my wCay i believe when I nGeed it
it will be Dmine
[Chorus]
Cso lets take this slowly
all I need is coming but
Gits just beyond what I cant see
so if my Ceyes press forward and fierce alarm
just turn my head bDack and to see
Cto see how we got this far
and I'll be alrighGt.
[Bridge]
Emand even when im burnt down,
and even when what I got now is falling fCaster down
beneith the cracks and I dont know when its coming back aroundG  
EmEven then I'll be calling out louder, louder enough to wake them up
and Cbelieve and I believe what I will holdG  
Hold will bDe enough,
will be enoughC  D  
[Chorus]
Cso lets take this slowly
all I need is coming but
Gits just beyond what I cant see
so if my Ceyes press forward and fierce alarm
just turn my head bDack and to see
Cto see how we got this far
and I'll be alrighGt.
[Outro]
Gits gonna be alright
Gits gonna be alright
Gits gonna be alright

Em7

[Verse 1]

G Em7 G Em7

if I took all that i've got

and spread it out on this table

it might not seem like a lot

Em7

a once glimmering joy

G Em7

slowly fading from view

all the change in my pocket is not enough

and this picture of you

[Pre-Chorus]

still i've heard all that I have

C G

and a moment is hardly a sign

D C G

of everything coming my way i believe when I need it

it will be mine

[Chorus]

so lets take this slowly

all I need is coming but

its just beyond what I cant see

so if my eyes press forward and fierce alarm

just turn my head back and to see

to see how we got this far

and I'll be alright.

[Verse 2]

im not asking for mountains of riches

no silver or gold

C G

dont need fame or fancy things I can take when I go

im just asking for grace

grace, to carry on

grace, to take joy in my place at the table

and the rock that its standing on

[Pre-Chorus]

still i've heard all that I have

C G

and a moment is hardly a sign

D C G

of everything coming my way i believe when I need it

it will be mine

[Chorus]

so lets take this slowly

all I need is coming but

its just beyond what I cant see

so if my eyes press forward and fierce alarm

just turn my head back and to see

to see how we got this far

and I'll be alright.

[Bridge]

and even when im burnt down,

and even when what I got now is falling faster down

beneith the cracks and I dont know when its coming back around

Even then I'll be calling out louder, louder enough to wake them up

C G

and believe and I believe what I will hold

Hold will be enough,

C D

will be enough

[Chorus]

so lets take this slowly

all I need is coming but

its just beyond what I cant see

so if my eyes press forward and fierce alarm

just turn my head back and to see

to see how we got this far

and I'll be alright.

[Outro]

its gonna be alright
