and youre used up to the line
you tell me you are fine

A Dm
said ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there
ill carry you there , i will carry you there

not sure if it’s 100% accurate , but it’s close . i’ve watched isaac play it live twice .
strumming is pretty simple – listen to the recording or watch

thanks!
