(Casting Crowns)
Half-Step Down Tuning
Verse 1:
D A E
Careless, I am reckless
D A E
I'm a wrong-way-travelin-slowly-unraveling shell of a man
D A E
Burnt out, I'm so numb now
D A E
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner of my cold, cold heart
Pre-Chorus:
F#m E D Bm F#m
Lord this time I'll make it right, here at the altar I lay my life
A E E
(hold out)
Your kingdom come but my will was done, my heart is broken as I...
Chorus:
D A F#m E
Cry___like so many times before
D A F#m E
but my eyes___are dry before I leave the floor, oh Lord
D A F#m E D
I try___but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
A D
I will not lose my follow through
E D A E
Between the altar and the door
Verse 2:
D A E
Here at the altar, oh my world so black and white
D A
How could I ever falter
E
What you've shown me to be right (pre-chorus) then (chorus)
Organ Plays:
D A F#m E
Bridge:
D A F#m E
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
D A
Just let you be who you are
F#m E
Lord, who you are in me
D A F#m E
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
D A
Just let you be who you are
F#m E
Lord, who you are in me...
Oh Lord, I... (chorus x2 then fade)
