Am
Lord, please sit close
The night is loud
F
The rain falls hard beneath the cloud
G C
I try to keep my head up high while storms are breaking in my sky
Dm
There's mud and smoke upon my coat
Am
The truth is stuck inside my throat
F
I have no holy song to share
E
Just sit with me and pull a chair
Am
Just sit with me Lord
F
Let me feel your presence near
G C
I am running thin and the darkness brings me fear
Dm
I've been losing sleep and fading
Am
If I cannot hold my ground
F
Let me lean upon your shoulder
E Am Dm
Till the morning light is found
Am
I know my sins by their first name
F
They shadow me in quiet shame
G
My faith is like a halfburn match
C
A little warmth but fading fast
Dm
I don't need answers dressed in gold
Am
Just mercy with sleeves rolled low
F
I have no holy song to share
E
Just sit with me and pull a chair
Am
Just sit with me Lord
F
Let me feel your presence near
G C
I am running thin and the darkness brings me fear
Dm
I've been losing sleep and fading
Am
If I cannot hold my ground
F
Let me lean upon your shoulder
E Am
Till the morning light is found
Dm G C
Oh, oh
Dm Am F E
Dm
Final dawn won't end it all
Am
Shadows wait upon the wall
F
But if you stay in this room
E
Maybe hope will start to bloom
Am
Just sit with me, Lord
Dm
Let me feel your presence near
E Am Dm
I am running thin and the darkness brings me fear
F
I've been losing sleep and fading
E Am G
If I cannot hold my ground
Dm
I'm not healed, but I am standing
E Am
Till the morning light is found
