Tuning: E A D G B E
D G C D
DOh, for a heart that does noGt ache
DAnd for a backbone thatG won't break
For some stEmeady feet or sturdy ground
A rDoad that isn't gonna let me
CTurn around and run
GFor a thousand tongues to sing
DTo wear wisdom like SolomoGn's robe
DFor the patience and perspective
Of Ga man like Job
JustEm to soar on wings of eagles
DFor no other reason
CThan the bird's eye view
GFor a flight or two
CAnd the list getDs longer
Who I wisCh I was
G D
And was no longer
I never couCld be goodG enough
To measure up
But YDou want tCo take me as IG come
You're the only one that canC
So take me asD I am G
Oh, to feel hDope in hopeless Gtimes
Never mindD the silver lining
'Cause the cloGuds are fine
To breathe praEmyers that move the heavens
Or save hundreds fDrom the flames
To know my plCace
To know my nGame
But the gapC grows widerD
Between who IC am
And alGl I aCspire toD be
D
I never could be goodC enough
To measurGe up
But You Dwant Cto take me aGs I come
You're the onlyC one that can
Take me as I Dam
At the endA# of myself
And the end of thDme dayC
I can fiA#nd little else
But the courage to sFay
I need YAmou, thatDm's all
I need YCou D
I neveDr could be gCood enough
To meaGsure up
But You wDant to take me asC I come
You're the only Gone that canC
Take me as ID am G C D
