C#m A E B (x2)
Verse 1:
I[C#m]t still feels like [G#m]yesterday,
A[C#m] lifetime of em[G#m]pty days,
My[A] hungry heart was desperate for a [E]meal.[B]
I [C#m]feasted on the B[G#m]read of Life,
Fo[C#m]rgiveness pierced me l[G#m]ike a knife,
And your[A] breath filled up my lungs and I could [E]feel.[B]
And I was[F#m] broken and al[G#m]l I could [B]say,
Chorus:
Was if I [C#m]ever needed [A]grace it's [E]now[B]
You are st[C#m]rong when I am [A]weak someh[B]ow
I am [C#m]weak enough to [A]see that I need[F#m] you to cover me
If I [A]ever needed [B]grace it's[C#m] now.[A] [E] [B]
Verse 2:
I [C#m]met the woman of [G#m]my dreams,
I [C#m]wanted to give her [G#m]everything,
But [A]fear came like a thief in the [E]night.[B]
But[C#m] my journal pages p[G#m]rophesied,
That[C#m] one day I'd make h[G#m]er my bride,
And s[A]oon, my best friend was wearing [E]white.[B]
With our [F#m]lives ahead [G#m]all I could [B]say,

There might be some rough spots like the bridge, but I did most of this by
ear. So hopefully it helps. And you can go back to any verse after you play
the outro by simply playing the 5 chord (B chord). Thank you, please give
feed back if possible, thanks and God Bless.
