[Intro]
F G F G
[Verse 1]
F G
It must have been the summer solstice, When I first gave my heart to You
F G
The first day of a brand new season, In a fevered passion for Your simple truth
Gmaj7/B C2 Gmaj7/B Am7 C/D
It was the longest I'd ever felt for anything, And it gave my soul a song to sing
F/G G
It must have been my adolescence, That pulled me from my childlike faith
F/G G
What I thought to be maturity, Was just neglect that I tried to vindicate
Gmaj7/B C2 Gmaj7/B Am7
And I went drifting on the wind like the autumn leaves, But when I fell I landed on my
knees
[Chorus]
G Am7 Dsus C2 G Am7
So can you throw Your arms around me and walk me home,
G Am7 Dsus C2 G Am7
I've wandered off way too far for way too long
Dsus D C2 Dsus D C2
Standing broken in this wilderness of shame, I have found my only strength is in Your
C/D
name
G Am7 Dsus C2 G Am7 F2
Oh Fa - ther please can You undo what I've done, And get me back to
F
square one.
[Verse 2]
F G
I never saw that blizzard coming, Just woke up and ice was on the ground
F G
And there were times this beating heart of pride, Was so stubborn it refused to make a
sound
Gmaj7/B C2 Gmaj7/B Am7 C/D
But now I'm feeling so out of my element, Frozen in the winter of my discontent
[Bridge 1]
D/C C/D G Cm6 Cdim7
G D/C C/D G Cm6
[Bridge 2]
G D/C C/D G Cm6 G
And with the spring comes the thaw, Melting my heart reviving all
D/C C/D G Cm6 Cdim7 G
It comes full cir - cle and then, It's summer sol - stice again
[Instrumental]
G D/C C/D G Cm6 Bbmaj7 A7sus
Gm/Bb C Gm/Bb Am7 D7sus
