i learned this song from “held chords ( ver 3 ) ” i changed a few chords and the placement
a few others to fit the song a little better .

notice : i Am not claiming to have written this entire tab by ear . “wingmanco”
sumbitted this , i simply changed it a little .

intro : D G Em A ( light and flowing )

verse

G A
two months is too little
D Em
they let him go , they had no
G A
sudden healing
G A
to think that providence would
D Em G
take a child from his mother while she prays
A A
is appalling

G A
who told us we’d be rescued
D Em G
what has changed and why should we be saved
A
from nightmares
G A
we’re asking why this happens
D Em G
to us , who have died to live
A
it’s unfair

chorus :

A D Em G
this is what it means to be held , how it feels
A D Em
when the sacred is torn from your life
G
and you survive
A D Em G
this is what it is to be loved , and to know
A D Em
that the promise was when everything fell
G A A
we’d be held

G A
this hand is bitterness
D Em G
we want to taste it , let the hatred numb
A
our sorrow
G A
the wise hand opens slowly
D Em G
to lillies of the valley and
A
tomorrow

chorus :

A D Em G
this is what it means to be held , how it feels
A D Em
when the sacred is torn from your life
G
and you survive
A D Em G
this is what it is to be loved , and to know
A D Em
that the promise was when everything fell
G A A
we’d be held

chorus ( change of key )

bridge
Am F G
if hope is born of suffering
Am F G
if this is only the beginning
Am F
can we not wait for one hour
Am F
watching for our savior

F C G Am
this is what it means to be held , how it feels
F C G
when the sacred is torn from your life
Am
and you survive
F C G Am
this is what it is to be loved , and to know
F C G
that the promise was when everything fell
Am G or F
we’d be held

( F C G Am )
