Thousand Steps Capo 3
[Intro]
D Am G D D Am G D
[Verse 1]
D Am
With one eye open I saw her slowly start to stand
G D
Her trembling hands wiped her tears away
D Am
She looked so tired and broken, she never lifts her head
G D
She softly says I can't make it through another day
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G Bm G
I'm as far away from God as I can be
Bm G A
Is there any way that He still loves me? Can He still love me?
[Chorus]
G D A D
If there were a thousand steps between you and God
G D A D A
And you could see no way across the great divide
G D Bm D G
Just take one step toward His loving arms
G Em D
And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine
[Verse 2]
D Am
He slips into the back door and he straightens up his tie
G D
His bloodshot eyes tell of the night before
D Am
He comes here every Sunday but his life is never changed
G D
He's played the game but he knows there's something more
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G Bm G
I'm so close but still so far away
Bm G A
And I can't live like this another day, not another day
[Chorus]
G D A D
If there were a thousand steps between you and God
G D A D A
And you could see no way across the great divide
G D Bm D G
Just take one step toward His loving arms
G Em D
And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine
G Em Bm D E G Bm D E G
And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine
[Bridge]
G D
Maybe you think that there’s a place you can go and He won’t be there
A
He won’t even care
G D
Didn’t you know that there is no depth or height to keep us from
A
His amazing love
[Outro]
G D A D
If there were a thousand steps between you and God
G D A D A
And you could see no way across the great divide
G D Bm D G
Just take one step toward His loving arms
G Em D
And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine
G Em Bm D E G Bm D E G
And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine
