Intro: D
D Dsus4 D
Used to carry this big old world
G A D
on my shoulders and back
D Dsus4 D
I used to lie inside my room
G A D
wondering where I am at
D Dsus4 D
I felt a chill running through my veins
G A D
And wondered, would I be saved?
D Dsus4 D
I felt the ice building in my soul
G A D
Would it melt away?
chorus:
G Dsus4 D
He's a warm breeze
G A D
Breathing life into me
G Dsus4 D
He's the sunlight
G A D
Shining down on me
D Dsus4 D
I used to worry my life away
G A D
Counting every dime
D Dsus4 D
Shutting out the ones I loved
G A D
Never finding the time
D Dsus4 D
And then one day I was overcome
G A D
By loneliness and despair
D Dsus4 D
And deep inside I thought I heard
G A D
"Lean on me, I'm here"
(Repeat Chorus)
D Dsus4 d
I pulled the burden from off my back
G A D
And tossed it into the wind
D Dsus4 D
And stretched my arms toward the sky
G A D
And let my life begin
D Dsus4 D
And like a tree, I have measured up
G A D
Best when I've been cut down
And like a tree, I can touch the sky
With my feet on the ground
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Yeah
(Outro)
G A D
Shining down on me
G A Bm G
Shining down, shining down
Em A D
Shining down on me
C G Bb A D
hoo hoo.
