Verse 1:
        B5                       G5         D5
I saw a man today, his whole world across his back 
         A5          B5          G5 
A living monument opposed to my success
           B5                    G5                D5 
I tried to look into his eyes as he shuffled past my car
              A5                B5              G5      
Sweat beading on his skin, his clothes and hair a mess.

       E5                                     G5
As the light turned green and I pulled away he slowly disappeared
       E5                        G5                   A5
Just a memory of another chance I failed to show your love here


Chorus 1:
G5            D5                A5                B5  A5         G5
   I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave.
          D5                 A5                    B5     A5         G5    D5    A5
I want to reach my hand out to the lost 'cause I know your hand will save-ave-ave
B5   A5       G5    D5    A5
Only you can save-ave-ave

Verse 2:
B5   G5   D5   A5   B5  G5  
I have to wonder if I really want to know 
The struggle and the pain that others feel
Do I want to hear the stories I see echoed in their eyes 
Or is this love I say that I'm reflecting even real?

E5   G5   E5   G5 A5
As the light turns on inside my head and I slowly disappear
I steel myself 'cause what You call for me is to show Your love here

Chorus 2:
I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave.
I want to reach my hand out to the lost 'cause I know your hand will save.
I want to love just like you loved I want to give just like you gave
I want to reach out with your hand 'cause only you can save-ave-ave
Only you can save-ave-ave

Bridge:
G5                      A5
    So, let me be your hands. 
G5                   A5
    Let me be your eyes.
G5                    A5
    You help me understand 
              G5                                 A5
That I'm your hands and feet hidden behind this frail human disguise


Chorus 3:
I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave.
I want to reach out with your hand 'cause I know Your hand will save
I want to love just like you loved I want to give just like you gave
I want to reach out with your hand 'cause only You can save-ave-ave

Only you can save-ave-ave
