The Strength to Let Go

Tom:
  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

[Próxima Parte]
                        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]
[Próxima Parte]
                        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
