Verse 1:
G              D       Em
Stuck inside a house I built
C                    D          Am
Locked the doors and closed the shutters
G                     D          Em
With no strength left to cry for help
C            D         Am
I hid in bed under the covers

Verse 2:
G              D        Em
Stuck inside a shade of blue
C              D    Am
Sadness was my only comfort
G                  D    Em
I didn't know that only You
C                        D       Am
Could fill my world with all the colors


Chorus 1:
            G
This is my awakening
     D                  C
That while my heart was fast asleep
D             Em         G  C
You were resurrecting me
                       G
I thought that I would never breathe
      D                  C
I thought the pain would never leave
D                    Em         G     C
But You're redeeming everything


Verse 3:
G                  D        Em
Now there's a dawn at every turn
C                  D     Am
You speak to me in new beginnings
G               D        Em
A ray of sun to heal the hurt
C                   D            Am
The music stops but You're still singing


Chorus 1:
            G
This is my awakening
     D                  C
That while my heart was fast asleep
D            Em           G  C
You were resurrecting me
                       G
I thought that I would never breathe
      D                  C
I thought the pain would never leave
D                    Em          G
But You're redeeming everything
C
Everything, everything

Chorus 2:
            G
This is my awakening
                G
I'm never going back to sleep
                  Em             C
How could I after what I've seen
            G/D
This is my awakening
              G/D
There's color now in everything
             C           Am
Color now in everything
            G
This is my awakening
                G
I'm never going back to sleep
                  Em               C
How could I after what I've seen
           G/B
This is my awakening
                   C
There's color now in everything
             G/B      C         G
Color now in everything
