Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
A minorAm  G+G  A minorAm  G+G  A minorAm

Verse:
          G+G    B minorBm
I was broken by the power
            G+G   A minorAm
I was swallowed by the need
          G+G    B minorBm
I was hiding in the corner
            G+G  E minorEm
When a voice called to me

Verse:
           C majorC  B minorBm
He understood my mystery
              C majorC   G+G
Soothed the wounds of my despair
            C majorC  B minorBm
With his grace he tenderly
              G+G   A minorAm
Brushed the tangles from my hair

Chorus:
             G+G   FF
I'm feeling better by the hour
             G+G   E minorEm
I think I just might be okay
               G+G    FF
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
               DmDm   A minorAm
Think I can live with what remains

Verse:
            G+G     B minorBm
As I sorted through the wreckage
           G+G   A minorAm
Sitting in my silent fast
             G+G    B minorBm
On my bed of hard-earned ashes
            G+G   E minorEm
Still repenting for my past

Verse:
               C majorC    B minorBm
My body ached and shook with anger
              C majorC    G+G
As I walked through narrow gates
             C majorC     B minorBm
And I left those walls behind me
          G+G   A minorAm
And with them my mistakes

Chorus:
             G+G   FF
I'm feeling better by the hour
             G+G   E minorEm
I think I just might be okay
               G+G    FF
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
               DmDm   A minorAm
Think I can live with what remains
