Verse 1: 
         G5                         D5                     G5            G5 
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun 
D5        E5           E5                D5          C5 
More that shines in the night than just the moon 
             A5                        D5  D5       G5        D5 E5 
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm 
        A5            A5                      D5 D5 
In a shelter that is larger than this room 


            G5                      D5                          G5         G5 
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment 
D5     E5              E5                   D5      C5 
A music higher than the songs that I can sing 
          A5                              D5 D5  G5 D5 E5 
  The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance 
          A5         A5                      D5  D5 
I owe only to the giver of all good things 


          G5                  C5                  E5               A5  A5            D5 D5 D5 D5 
So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through 
            A5             C5              E5                 D5   D5        G5 C5 E5 D5 
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you 
    G5                C5               E5               A5  A5            D5 D5 D5 D5 
If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs 
            A5          C5          E5                 D5  D5      G5 C5 E5 D5 
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home 

Verse 2: 
         G5               C5                G5             G5 
There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind 
D5       E5            E5    D5        C5 
More that pulses in the ocean than the tide 
A5                       D5   D5            G5   D5    E5 
  There's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends 
      A5           A5               D5           D5 
More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her side 


            G5                      D5                          G5         G5 
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment 
D5     E5              E5                   D5      C5 
A music higher than the songs that I can sing 
        A5                              D5 D5  G5 D5 E5 
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance 
          A5         A5                      D5  D5 
I owe only to the giver of all good things
