It is played a half step down I think, but I play it in standard most of the time.

A5            G5            F5
What good is a pen that will not write
            C5            F5
what good is a       promise left unkept
A5            G5            F5            
what good is an open evening sky
            C5            F5
if all the       clouds refuse to rain


chorus
D5                  C5      G5
I'm not at the end of my rope
      F5            G5      G5
I'm steady in this ship to sail
D5                        C5      G5            
if there's healing in an honest       word
      F5            G5      G5
if       truth is like a soft kiss
      F5            C5      G5      
then       oh-oh-oh oh lord
      C5      B5      A5            
will this storm pass us over
F5            C5      G5
oh-oh-oh oh lord
      C5      B5      A5
will this storm pass us over
G5      F5   
halle      lu-u-u-jah

(no chord) so tell me 
A5            G5            F5
are we not a breath are we not a mist
            C5            F5
I think that everybody here knows it
            A5            G5      F5      
so this time,       as the season turns once again
            C5                  F5
I'm pushing       my soul, against this bitter cold


Chorus

D5                  C5      G5
I'm not at the end of my rope
      F5            G5      G5
I'm steady in this ship to sail
D5                        C5      G5            
if there's healing in an honest       word
      F5            G5      G5
if       truth is like a soft kiss
      F5            C5      G5      
then       oh-oh-oh oh lord
      C5      B5      A5            
will this storm pass us over
F5            C5      G5
oh-oh-oh oh lord
      C5      B5      A5
will this storm pass us over
G5      F5   
halle      lu-u-u-jah
F5            C5
hallelu-u-u ja-a-ah (I don't think the c is actually played, but i play it.)
