[Intro]

Am F G E

[Verse 1]

Am F

If all that grows

G E

starts to fade, starts to falter

Am F G E

Oh let me inside, let me inside not to wake

Am F

Let all that run

G E

through the fields, through the quiet

Am F

Go on with their own

G E

on with their own hidden ways

[Interlude]

Am F G E

[Verse 2]

Am F

When all newness

G E

of gold travels far from

Am F

Where it had once been

G E

Worn like the earth over years

Am F

And when the acts of man

G E

Cause the ground to break open

Am F G E

Oh let me inside, let me inside not to wake

[Chorus 1]

Am F G C

Great are the sounds of all that live

F E

And all that man can hold

[Interlude]

Am F G C F F E

[Refrain]

Am F

If all that grows

G E

starts to fade, starts to falter

Am F G E

Oh let me inside, let me inside not to wake

[Chorus 2]

Am F G C

Great are the sounds of all that live

F E

And all that man can hold

Am F G C F F E Am

Great are the sounds of all that live, that live.
