This is one of my favorite songs out of all
Amy has ever recorded.
**Capo 2** (or see below for no capo chords)
Intro: G
Verse 1:
G
They were the sweetest words I'd ever heard
C
My heart could barely take it in
Em
Like water offered to the lips
C
Of a tired and thirsty man
G
Cause it's a tangled web I've woven
C
I don't know all the reasons
Em
But it amazes me to wake up
C
To Your mercy every morning
Pre-Chorus:
D
So I'm standing here and spinning 'round
C G
In the fields of freedom
D
And I'm still alive and reaching out
C D
And I can feel the healing
[Refrão](Cause you say...)
G G9 G G9
Come on out come on out, come on out come on out
Em C
Out in the open
G G9 G G9
Come on out come on out, come on out come on out
Em C
Into the light
D C Em
There is no jury, there is no judge
D
Ready and waiting
G
Are the steady arms of love
Verse 2:
For the sake of never making waves I
Kept my secrets to myself
And no one ever really knew the
Darker shadows of my heart
But I will be a witness
That there's nothing in me dark enough
The power of forgiveness
Cannot rescue from the deep
