( verse 1 )
she got the call today , one out of the gray
and when the smoke cleared , it took her breath away
she said she didn’t believe , it could happen to me
i guess we’re all one phone call from our knees
we’re gonna get there soon

if every building falls , and all the stars fade
we’ll still be singing this song , the one they can’t take away
i’m gonna get there soon , she’s gonna be there too
cryin’ in her room , prayin’ lord come through
we’re gonna get there soon

( chorus )
C
oh it’s your light , oh it’s your way
Fmaj7
pull me out of the dark , just to shoulder the weight
Dm7 G5
cryin’ out now , from so far away
Fmaj7 C G5
you pull me closer to looooooooooove
Am Fmaj7 C G5
closer to looooooooooooooove

( verse 2 ) [ pulloffs addEd ]

meet me once again , down off lake michigan
where we could feel the storm blowin’ down with the wind
and don’t apologize , for all the tears you’ve cried
you’ve been way too strong now for all your life
famj7 C famj7
i’m gonna get there soon , you’re gonna be there too
Am Fmaj7 G5
cryin’ in your room , prayin’ lord come through

we’re gonna get there soon

( chorus )

C
oh it’s your light , oh it’s your way
Fmaj7
pull me out of the dark , just to shoulder the weight
Dm7 G5
cryin’ out now , from so far away
Fmaj7 C G5
you pull me closer to looooooooooove
Am Fmaj7 C G5
closer to looooooooooooooove
