🎸 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
