INTRO: Gsus G Gsus G 


Verse 1: 
         G                         D                     G            G 
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun 
D/F#        Em           Em                D          C 
More that shines in the night than just the moon 
             Am                        Dsus  D       G        D/F# Em 
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm 
        Asus            A                      Dsus D 
In a shelter that is larger than this room 


            G                      D                          G         G 
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment 
D/F#     Em              Em                   D      C 
A music higher than the songs that I can sing 
          Am                              Dsus D  G D/F# Em 
  The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance 
          Asus         A                      Dsus  D 
I owe only to the giver of all good things 


          G                  C                  Em               Asus  A            Dsus D Dsus D 
So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through 
            Am             C              Em                 Dsus   D        G C Em D 
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you 
    G                C               Em               Asus  A            Dsus D Dsus D 
If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs 
            Am          C          Em                 Dsus  D      G C Em D 
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home 

Verse 2: 
         G               C                G             G 
There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind 
D/F#       Em            Em    D        C 
More that pulses in the ocean than the tide 
Am                       Dsus   D            G   D/F#    Em 
  There's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends 
      Asus           A               Dsus           D 
More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her side 


            G                      D                          G         G 
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment 
D/F#     Em              Em                   D      C 
A music higher than the songs that I can sing 
        Am                              Dsus D  G D/F# Em 
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance 
          Asus         A                      Dsus  D 
I owe only to the giver of all good things
