The Point Of Arrival chords by Carrie Newcomer

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G     Em     C     G

Verse:
G
First it is a bitter pill
  Em
A rubber band stretched ‘til it snaps
C
Sitting crossed legged on the floor
   G
My empty hands are in my lap

Verse:
G

What is to become of me
Em
Here at my surrendering
      C
Where I arrive at the end
    G
The place where I begin again

Chorus:
              Em  D/F#
First we fold in
          C
Then open out
           Em           D             C
There is a faith that's only found in doubt
           Em     D            G
Acceptance is the closing of a cycle
                       Am      G   C
The end that marks the point of arrival

Verse:
G
This is where I lay it down
     Em
What I don't want to haul around
    C
The buzzing of what can't be seen
    G
And living always in-between

Chorus:
              Em  D/F#
First we fold in
          C
Then open out
           Em           D/F#          C
There is a faith that's only found in doubt
           Em     D/F#         G
Acceptance is the closing of a cycle
                       Am      G   C
The end that marks the point of arrival

Instrumental:

G    D    C D Em  D/F#  C

Verse:
G
Looking down at my hands
Em
Finally I understand
    C
The empty space has changed somehow
         G
And it's filled with hallelujah now

Chorus:
     Em D/F#      C
Hallelujah,  hallelu
        Em         D/F#         C
Hard as stone, but yet it's true
           Em     D/F#         G
Acceptance is the closing of a cycle
                       Am      G   C
The end that marks the point of arrival

Bridge:
         Em             G
If I let go of who's to blame
              D
What can't be changed
         C             G
And will never be the same
          Em        G
Close the book, one last look
        D     C       D       Em
Letting go of all the time it took

Outro:
     D/F#     C   Em
Hallelu, hallelu--jah
     G        C     Em
Hallelu, hallelu--jah
     D        C
Hallelu, hallelujah
