[Verse 1]
A E
I don’t like to admit when I’m wrong and need gifts of
D
forgiveness instead of applause
F#m E
I was dying to prove to myself I could make it
D
alone, huh, yeah
A E
It took years to confess that your love was the best at
D
unraveling all of my pride
F#m E N.C.
Had to laugh at myself when I realized you were my home
[Chorus]
A E D
Give me the strength to let go
A E D
Give me the strength to surrender
F#m
Give me the strength to stop holding on
E D
I’ve been holding on so long
A E D
Give me the strength to let go
A E D
Show me the way to come home
A E D
Show me the way to come home
[Verse 2]
A E
Yeah I’m stubborn and bold but sometimes it gets old fighting
D
voices inside of my brain
F#m E D
I was trying to pretend I was fine when inside it was war
A E
With the stumbling beat of my heart and my feet
D
and the faults of my failures and pain
F#m E D
To think all of this time I have wings that were ready to soar
[Chorus]
A E D
Give me the strength to let go
A E D
Give me the strength to surrender
F#m
Give me the strength to stop holding on
E D
I’ve been holding on so long
A E D
Give me the strength to let go
A E D
Show me the way to come home
A E D
Show me the way to come home
[Bridge]
D A E
Oh love, light the way home, light up my soul
F#m D
I choose mercy instead of control
A E
My life is on loan, forgive and let go
F#m E D
I embrace a belief I don’t know
A E
What a beautiful sound, to lay your life down
F#m E D
your forgiveness is where I am found
A E
Here in your arms, I finally let down
N.C. D A E
I am lightning and you are the ground
N.C.
I am lightning and you are the ground
[Chorus]
A E D
Give me the strength to let … go
A E D
Won’t you give me the faith to surrender
F#m
Come on give me the strength to stop holding on
E D
I’ve been holding on so long
A E D
Won't you give me the strength to let go
A E D
Show me the way to come home
A E D
Show me the way to come home
