Capo 3

G        C     C/B     Am
This and who I used to be,
      G      D       C      G
Don't matter much at all to me,
    G       C      C/B        Am
The pit you dug to plant your feet,
     G       D    C     G
Is a far cry from my destiny 

             C
Not even the clouds,
             G
Not even the past,
             G        C         C/B     Am        G
Not even the hands of God could hold me back from you.

G        C       C/B   Am
Dark and lonely is the ride,
    G       D    C     G
The devil always by my side,
G         C         C/B       Am
Though no match for what lies between
    G          D         C         G
The thought of you, your trust for me.

             C
Not even the sun,
                G
A bullet from a gun,
   G        C        C/B         Am 
No nothing that this world could bring
   G        D       C     G   
Or anything someone could do,
      C       D         G
Could hold me back from you.

   G        C        C/B      Am   
No count of gold placed in my hand
    G       D         C        G
The largest find, the greatest sum ,
       G          C      C/B           Am 
Though some would say it'd ease our pain
   G      D      C       G   
We know that it can't be done.

             C
Not even the sun,
             G
Not even the clouds,
             C
Not even the past,
   G       C         C/B         Am   
No nothing that this world could bring
   G        D       C     G
Or anything someone could do,
      C       D         G  
Could hold me back from you,
      C       D         G 
Could hold me back from you,
      C       D         G 
Could hold me back from you.
