[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]
Verse 1:
F/C G/C C
[ / / / It took the hand of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea

But it only took one little lie
C7M/E
To separate you and me
F C
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
Verse 2:
F/C G/C C
And they say that one day Joshua
C2
Made the sun stand still in the sky
C C/E
But I can't even keep these thoughts of you from passing by
F7M F
Oh, we are not as strong
F7M F C/G
As we think we are
Chorus:
G C/G G F C
We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made
G
Forged in the fires of human passion
F C
Choking on the fumes of selfish rage
G/B Am
And with these our hells and our heavens
F7M
So few inches apart
F C/E Dm
We must be aw- flly small,
Gsus G
And not as strong as we think we are
Verse 3:
And the Master said their faith was
Gonna make them mountains move
But me, I tremble like a hill on a fault line
Just at the thought of how I lost you
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Dm
And if you make me laugh,
Gsus
I know I could make you like me
C2(no3) C2/E F2
'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun
Dm Gsus
But when we can't do that I know that it is fright'ning
C2(no3) C2/E
What I don't know is why we can't hold on,
Am2 G
We can't hold on.
Repeat Verse 1:
It took the hand of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea
But it only took one little lie
To separate you and me
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
Verse 4:
When you love you walk on the water,
Just don't stumble on the waves.
We all want to go there somethin' awful,
But to stand there it takes some grace,
'Cause oh, we are not as strong
As we think we are
G C/G F
No, we are not as strong
F7M F C
As we think we are.
