Intro.: Bm D A (2x)
Bm
I thought that it was you
D
The things you saw me do
A
They were true
Bm
Little did I know
D
You found me in your joy
A
And there was I, a little boy
Bm
My shadows they're not new
D
My soul's split in two
A
Lord, I thought that it was you
Bm
This Christmas snow that falls
D A
Gives silence to us all, amen, amen
F#m D
You know my deepest sin
A
You've seen me deep within
F#m Bm
So fill me now like wind
A
And let the miracle begin
Bm
There's a river and you know
D
There's a place we used to go
A
That's where I throw our ashes now
Bm
I must have walked into a cave
D
Among these things that you must save
A
And there I touched the grave
F#m D
You know my deepest sin
A
You've seen me deep within
F#m Bm
But fill me now like wind
A
And let the miracle begin
And the secrets that you say
