( verse 1 )
D A
i bow my head to pray , i don’t know what to say
E F#m
i’m not sure how to fix the things i’m dealing with

i’m in a desperate place , i need to share the weight

though i’m silent , my heart is crying
E F#m
cause i was made to come to you

god i need you more than words can say

D A
i failed to find the time , but you’ve been calling out
E F#m
i let the days go by as if i could live without

cause it’s just you and i , so let the world around us fade
