Falling Short

View chords used in this chart
G7 C
Am I falling short or do I fly
B7 E
While I miss the mark do I hit the sky
G7 C
And in my wondering do I answer why
B7 E
I´m alive
 
To make a space - bushwhack a path -
 
Leave a sign - dodge the wrath
 
D A D E
Of myself and leave the math to God
 
(go on as above)
 
Falling short i´ve hit the spot
 
Of the place where I was shot
 
From the womb of my mother
 
I´ve fallen short but is there another
D A D
Place where I could be
E
Is short just the place for me to see
B
What I can do
E
What I´ve been given
B A
My holy view of hell an heaven
 
Am I falling short or do I fly
 
While I miss the mark do I hit the sky
 
In my wondering do I answer why
 
I´m alive
 
I´m alive
 
I´m alive
