My Only
From "Hope Anthology Volume 1"
**To get a different sound for the rhythm guitar, you could try playing this
capo 7 in the C majorC position (hit transpose up 5 half steps to get the chords).**
Here it is in standard G+G position, no capo.
Intro x2:
G+G - D/F#D/F# - A augmentedA
Verse 1
G+G D/F#D/F# A augmentedA G+G D/F#D/F# A augmentedA
All day long, we are sinking just like stones into the shadow of Your kindness
G+G D/F#D/F# A augmentedA G+G
In this shade, between the wingspan of Your face is
D/F#D/F# A augmentedA
the only place where we can bed these burdens down (so I)
Pre-Chorus
Bm7Bm7 A augmentedA G+G Bm7Bm7 A augmentedA G+G
Lift my eyes up to the heav'ns... Who is gonna help me now?
Chorus
E minor 7Em7 D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G
You're my only, You're my only, You're my only hope
Intro
Verse 2
G+G D/F#D/F# A augmentedA G+G D/F#D/F# A augmentedA
Tangled up, in the great ridiculous, way You love. It is the only way to live.
G+G D/F#D/F# A augmentedA G+G
There's no escape, when You look at me that way
D/F#D/F# A augmentedA
Staring like a deer into the headlights of Your praises (so I)
Pre - Chorus
Chorus 2
E minor 7Em7 D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G
You're my only, You're my only, You're my only hope
G+G A augmentedA Bm7Bm7 E7E7 G+G A augmentedA Bm7Bm7
You're my only, You're my only, You're my only hope
Bridge
G+G D/F#D/F# A augmentedA
and You come like the sun with pockets full of redemption
G+G D/F#D/F# A augmentedA
and You come with the sun, with the sun

This is the backbone of the entire song. Play around with some lead parts
during the verses in the D MajorD scale and get creative!
