Verse 1:
I [Gadd4]climbed up a lion of rock
[Gadd4]There overlooking the swirls of the world
All the shi[Am9]fting of sands that I saw
C[Am9]onflicting energies giving and taking
The f[Bm11]luid grace of it all
B[Bm11]illowing shadows of clouds in the sand
While the w[Cmaj7]aves lay down all stretched and taught
F[Cmaj7]olding and wrinkling back to the source of it [Em7]all[G]
[Em7]Ah___[G]___[Cmaj7]___
Chorus 2:
Every breath is give and t[Am7]ake
Every breath[Cmaj7] is give and take[Em9]
Every breath is give and take[Am7]
Every breath[Cmaj7] is give and take, give a[Em7]nd take[G]
Verse 2:
I l[Gadd4]ove you, oh, gentlest of ways
Who r[Gadd4]ipens us as we wrestle with you
The great h[Am9]omesickness we cannot shake
Y[Am9]ou the great forest surrounding us now
In [Bm11]silence it's you that we sing
B[Bm11]illowing shadows of Heaven on earth
As we lay [Cmaj7]down our lives stretched and taught
Fo[Cmaj7]lding and wrinkling back to the source of it a[Em7]ll[G]
[Em7]Ah___[G]___[Cmaj7]___
Chorus 2:
Every breath is gi[Em7]ve and take
Every breath[Cmaj7] is give and take[Em9][G]
Every breath is give an[D]d take[Em7][G][Em7][Cmaj7]
Every breath[D5] is give and take[Em7]
Eve[Em7]ry breath is give and take, give and take
[E5] Give an[A5]d take[G5][D5]
Verse 3:
I [G5]see it all like a hymn
The c[G5]onstant refrain of the echo and change and
A[G5]ll is beautiful
[E5] [A5] [G5]All is b[D5]eautiful[E5][A5]
Bridge:
[G5]Everything, everyone building and breaking
And [D5]I see the grace of it all
[E5]There is no giving without any taking
There's [A5]no love without any loss
[G5]All is [D5]beautiful[G]
Ending:
[Gadd4]Suddenly everything came into focus
As [Am9]I saw her taking a walk
[Am9]The tiniest speck, just a grain in the wind
But o[Bm11]h, how much great in the small
The [Bm11]tiniest body containing the glory
Of H[Cmaj7]eaven and angels and God
I c[Cmaj7]limbed down the rock and I ran to the sand and my [Em7]love[G]
My lo[Em7]ve [G] [Cmaj7]
I [Gadd4]climbed up a lion of rock
[Gadd4]There overlooking the swirls of the world
All the shi[Am9]fting of sands that I saw

Chorus 2:
Every breath is give and t[Am7]ake
Every breath[Cmaj7] is give and take[Em9]
Every breath is give and take[Am7]
Every breath[Cmaj7] is give and take, give a[Em7]nd take[G]
