Short is the time

But your feet have wings
Em          G              C  G
Sharing the weight of your burden
C                G           Am    C
While you've the strength to carry on
C          G    D    C
I'll carry on beside you
 
 
G           D
Dark is the night
        C           G     (walk down bass from G to Em)
Yet the road shines clear
Em         G          C  G
Lit by the souls of believers
C             G      Am    C
While you can see to carry on
C          G    D    C
I'll carry on beside you

Preparing yourself for the next time
