I just heard this song and couldn't find chords for it, so I decided to give it a try.
For the drum effect on the verses, pick the A & D strings (A A D A A D rep.). It doesn't
sound exactly like the drums (it couldn't:), but it's close enough to play as you sing
it. Comment and rate please! God Bless and happy playing!
Closer to Your Heart by Natalie Grant
Verse 1:
(drum effect)
Here I am once again
Crying out on the floor.
Trying to make sense
Of this emptiness, once more
I can't do this on my own.
I'm in too deep,
I should have known.
I know You made me for
So much more than this
Chorus:
[Em]I've been running so fast
Trying to get back to the [A7]start
[Em]I've been holding so tight,
But it all just comes [A7]apart.
[Em]Pull me in, [D]Break me down,
[Em]Make me new [D]and bring me
[Em]Closer to Your [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart x2
Verse 2:
(drum effect again:)
Help me be unafraid,
Find my place where You are.
Oh, You've always been enough,
You're the light in the dark.
Afraid of giving up control,
You are there, but I let go.
You're taking this brokenness,
Making it beautiful.
Chorus:
[Em]I've been running so fast
Trying to get back to the [A7]start
[Em]I've been holding so tight,
But it all just comes [A7]apart.
[Em]Pull me in, [D]Break me down,
[Em]Make me new [D]and bring me
[Em]Closer to Your [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart
Bridge:
[Em]Oh oh, make [A7]me come clean
[Em]Oh oh, You're all [A7]I need
[Em]Oh oh, bring me closer to Your [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart.
[Em]Closer to Your [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart,
Chorus:
[Em]I've been running so fast
Trying to get back to the [A7]start
[Em]I've been holding so tight,
But it all just comes [A7]apart.
[Em]Pull me in, [D]Break me down,
[Em]Make me new [D]and bring me
[Em]Closer to Your [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart, [D]heart
[End]
