Capo 1st Fret

Intro G5 C5 G5 A5

Verse 1
G5                         C5       G5      A5
You could plant me like a tree beside a river

          G5             C5               E5    G5    C5
You could tangle me in soil and let my roots run wild

             G5               C5     G5      A5  
And I would blossom like a flower in the desert

         C5        G5      A5
But for now just let me cry

Verse 2
           G5              C5       G5      A5
You could raise me like a banner in a battle

       G5            C5               E5  G5   C5
Put victory like a fire behind my shining eyes

             G5                  C5      G5       A5
And I would drift like falling snow over the embers

         C5        G5       A5
But for now just let me lie

Chorus

C5              G5      D5
Bind up these broken bones

E5              C5                   D5
Mercy bend and breathe me back to life

     C5              G5              D5
But not before You show me how to die

Instrumental: G5 C5 G5 A5

G5              C5      G5        A5
Set me like a star before the morning

         G5                    C5               E5   G5  C5
Like a song that steals the darkness from a world asleep

            G5             C5           G5     A5
And I'll illuminate the path You've laid before me

         C5        G5     A5
But for now just let me be

Chorus 2

C5               G5       D5
Bind up these broken bones

E5                 C5                D5
Mercy bend and breathe me back to life

C5                    G5              D5
But not before You show me how to die

      C5              G5             D5
Oh, not before You show me how to die

Verse 3

    G5                 C5     G5       A5
So let me go like a leaf upon the water

        G5                C5              E5  G5  C5
Let me brave the wild currents flowing to the sea

            G5           C5      G5      A5
And I will disappear into a deeper beauty

G5         C5         G5        A5
But for now just stay with me

G5         C5         D5        G5
God, for now just stay with me

Ending:  G5 C5 G5  D5 G5
