Verse 1:
F
I woke to a room With a story to tell
F                                C
Its silence was iron The strike of a bell
C                      Em              F
That rang in the walls And sang in my ear
F            Am       G      F    C
With a quiet I wasn't Ready to hear

Verse 2:
F
The birds spoke of spring A moment ago
F                                  C
And now scatter leaves As they pick up and show
C                      Em            F
The end of their reign Abiding the bloom
F                 Am   G         F       C
That falls to the floor In the still of this room

Chorus:
Am                    F
I hold out that love Is holding us high
F           C                  G
Its roof, door and window Keeping us dry
Am                        Em          F
The shape and the size Of however we stand
F               C     G     F  G         F
Your name on my tongue My heart in your hand
F                F7    Am Am/C  C
My heart in your hand

Verse 3:
F
I shake my shoulders For what's in my sleeve
F                            C
For what to surrender Of all I believe
C                 Em            F
In favor of mercy Of hours gone soon
F            Am        G F              C
But yet knows our story Lived in this room

Chorus:
Am                    F
I hold out that love Is holding us high
F           C                  G
Its roof, door and window Keeping us dry
Am                        Em          F
The shape and the size Of however we stand
F               C     G     F  G         F
Your name on my tongue My heart in your hand
F                F7    Am Am/C  C
My heart in your hand
Am                    F
I hold out that love Is holding us high
F           C                  G
Its roof, door and window Keeping us dry
Am                        Em          F
The shape and the size Of however we stand
F               C     G     F  G         F
Your name on my tongue My heart in your hand
       C      F7   Am  Am/C  C
In your hand
