| C   | C   |



🎸 Verse 1:
 C     F    C
I chased you into the light
    C             G
Yeah I stayed there to see myself pure
    C     F     C
All the ashes and scars they fail
   C
They pale in comparison to yours
      Am       G/B     C
There were footprints the size of the universe
      Am      G/B     C
There were fortunes that no one could earn
   C     F    C
So I chased you farther still
   C      G   C
And I hope that I never return

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
     F    G
From the river's mouth
    F    G
To the mountain peak
      F    G      C   Am
Through the great divide and the valley deep
 F      G   C
I need you to carry me


🎸 Chorus:
F G
   Carry me
F G        F   G
   Carry me, I'm on my way
    C G/B Am
But I'm in too deep
 F      G   C
I need you to carry me


🎸 Verse 2:
     C      F    C
You were calling me, into the deep
   C            G
Into waters that no map could find
     C
You were calling me
F       C
Out beyond my fears
     C       G      C
Where my darkness finds rest in your light
     Am       G/B    C
I found a fortress where I could surrender
     Am      G/B     C
Where my shame didn't hide what I lacked
     C     F      C
And so I chased you out farther still
    C         G      C
Cause I know that I ain't never coming back


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
     F    G
From the river's mouth
    F    G
To the mountain peak
     F    G      C   Am
From the great divide and the oceans deep
 F      G   C
I need you to carry me


🎸 Chorus:
F G
   Carry me
F G        F   G
   Carry me, I'm on my way
    C G/B Am
But I'm in too deep
 F      G   C
I need you to carry me


🎸 Bridge:
     C        G      C
I found a place where the past was forgiven
      Am     G        C
Where my mistakes met a grace I couldn't earn
     C       G      F       C
And so I piled up my excuses and defenses in the night
    C          G           C
Then I lit a match, stepped back and watched them burn


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
     F    G
From the river's mouth
    F    G
To the mountain peak
      F    G       C   Am
Through the great divide where the waters meet
 F      G   C
I need you to carry me


🎸 Chorus:
F G
   Carry me
F G        F   G
   Carry me, I'm on my way
    C G/B Am
But I'm in too deep
 F      G   Am
I need you to carry me
 F      G   C
I need you to carry me


🎸 Outro:
     F     G      C      Am
From the day I was born to the end of these seas
 F      G   C
I need you to carry me
