Capo 1st Fret
Intro G C G Am
Verse 1
[G]You could plant me like a [C]tree bes[G]ide a r[Am]iver
You could [G]tangle me in s[C]oil and let my r[Em]oots r[G]un wi[C]ld
And I would b[G]lossom like a fl[C]ower i[G]n the d[Am]esert
But for n[C]ow just l[G]et me c[Am]ry
Verse 2
You could r[G]aise me like a [C]banner i[G]n a bat[Am]tle
Put vic[G]tory like a f[C]ire behind my sh[Em]inin[G]g ey[C]es
And I would d[G]rift like falling s[C]now ove[G]r the em[Am]bers
But for n[C]ow just l[G]et me li[Am]e
Chorus
[C]Bind up these b[G]roken b[D]ones
[Em]Mercy bend and b[C]reathe me back to li[D]fe
But n[C]ot before You s[G]how me how to d[D]ie
Instrumental: G C G Am
[G]Set me like a s[C]tar bef[G]ore the m[Am]orning
Like a so[G]ng that steals the da[C]rkness from a wo[Em]rld a[G]sle[C]ep
And I'll ill[G]uminate the pa[C]th You've la[G]id bef[Am]ore me
But for n[C]ow just l[G]et me [Am]be
Chorus 2
[C]Bind up these br[G]oken bon[D]es
[Em]Mercy bend and brea[C]the me back to li[D]fe
[C]But not before You sh[G]ow me how to di[D]e
Oh, no[C]t before You sh[G]ow me how to d[D]ie
Verse 3
So l[G]et me go like a le[C]af upo[G]n the wa[Am]ter
Let me b[G]rave the wild cur[C]rents flowing t[Em]o th[G]e s[C]ea
And I will d[G]isappear int[C]o a dee[G]per bea[Am]uty
[G]But for no[C]w just sta[G]y with me[Am]
[G]God, for n[C]ow just st[D]ay with m[G]e
