Intro:

Db  Ab/C  Bbm  Ab
Gb  Db/A  Ab

Verse 1:
        Db            Ab/C
When my bending turns to break
              Bbm          Ab
I’ve taken more than I can take
         Gb          Db/A  Ab                Ab
And life keeps throwing punches left and right
     Db                Ab/C
When I’m getting by but barely
         Bbm                 Ab
Ain’t seeing things too clearly
        Gb              Ab          Db
And my heart could use somewhere to run and hide

Chorus:
         Gb                            Db
I know a place where the world and all its noise
      Ab                             Bbm
Fades away and the sound of a still small voice
         Gb                     Db Ab/C  Bbm
Calls to me to come and rest my weary soul
        Gb                  Ab         Db
And You meet me in the place only we know

Instrumental:
Db  Ab/C  Bbm  Ab
Gb Db/A  Ab

Verse 2:
                Db           Ab/C
It’s where I tell You every secret
      Bbm              Ab
Every wound and every weakness
          Gb                   Db/Ab Ab
And I smile to think how You already knew
             Db           Ab/C
It’s where I carry my confessions
       Bbm                 Ab
And give thanks for the blessing
       Gb         Ab              Db  Ab/C  Bbm
Of knowing broken things can be made new

Chorus:
Yeah
         Gb                            Db
I know a place where the world and all its noise
      Ab                             Bbm
Fades away and the sound of a still small voice
         Gb                     Db Ab/C  Bbm
Calls to me to come and rest my weary soul
        Gb                  Ab         Db
And You meet me in the place only we know

Instrumental:
Db  Ab/C  Bbm  Ab
Gb           Db/A  Ab

Bridge:
        Bbm
Well sometimes I shake my fist
     Ab/C
Sometimes I raise my hands
     Db
Sometimes I sing a song of praise
        Gb
And sometimes I just can’t
     Bbm
Sometimes I hear an answer
     Ab/C
Most times I hear “Be still”
        Db             Ab/C
Oh but every time I’m there with You
   Bbm      Ab     Gb   Gb
My empty cup gets filled

Verse 3:
        Db                 Ab/C
And it ain’t some far off somewhere
      Bbm              Ab
Only takes a prayer to get there
             Gb                         Db/Ab  Ab
Cause You’re right beside me everywhere I go
        Db        Ab/C
With an open invitation
      Bbm          Ab
For me to keep escaping
          Gb     Ab
To the place only we know

Outro:
Db  Ab/C  Bbm  Ab  Gb

     Db/A                      Ab
I’ll meet you in the place that only we know
