Intro:

Em G D C
Em G D Am

Verse 1:
            C
If you're washed up
                Em
On a lonesome shore,
               Am          D7
Soul crushed and tired…
            C
If you're curled up
                 Em
On the kitchen floor,
                  Am         F#dim7
And the house is on fire…
            Em                    G
If you couldn't feel further from
           D
Redemption,
             C                     Em
You're the closest you've ever been.
                 G                D7
Rock bottom is a firm foundation.
       Cmaj7
You'll see,
Chorus:
         Em
My friend
G             D          Am
This is not a breakdown:
                     Em
It's a breakthrough.
G             D          C
This is not a midnight:
                   Cmaj7
It's a brand new morning
        Em             D     Am
When it dawns on the dark!
                    Em
No, this is not the moment
        G           D
When it all falls apart.
       C         Am         Em
It's a beautiful place to start.

G D C

Verse 2:
           C
When you find yourself
               Em
Thanking the storm
                            Am     D7
'Cause the floodgates have opened,
          C
And you let go of
                  Em
Standing on the edge
                       Am      F#dim7
Of what the future's holding.
            Em
Hear your prayers turn
                  G
From begging God
                D
To praising Him
         C                       Em
As you find out He's always been
                     G
Much closer than the air
                D7
You're breathing.
           Cmaj7
So breathe in,

Chorus:
         Em
My friend.
G             D          Am
This is not a breakdown:
                     Em
It's a breakthrough.
G             D          C
This is not a midnight:
                   Cmaj7
It's a brand new morning
        Em             D     Am
When it dawns on the dark!
                    Em
No, this is not the moment
        G            D
When it all falls apart.
       C         Am       Em     G  D
It's a beautiful place to start.
       Cmaj7              Em     G  D
It's a beautiful place to start!

Bridge:
      C                     Em
The hardest part is the letting go,
      G                     D
And sometimes it feels impossible,
      Am                        Em
But theres still love in your arsenal
     G                           D
If there's still blood in your heart.
      C                     Em
The hardest part is the letting go,
      G                     D
And sometimes it feels impossible,
      Am                        Em
But theres still love in your arsenal
     G                           D
If there's still blood in your heart.
       Cadd9
You'll see,

Chorus:
         Em
My friend.
G             D          Am
This is not a breakdown:
                     Em

G             D          C

                   Cmaj7
It's a brand new morning
        Em             D     Am
When it dawns on the dark!
                    Em
No, this is not the moment
        G           D
When it all falls apart.
       Em                 C      G  D
It's a beautiful place to start.
       Cmaj7              Em     G  D
It's a beautiful place to start!
       Em                 C
It's a beautiful place to start.
