I learned this song from "Held Chords (ver 3)" I changed a few chords and the placement
a few others to fit the song a little better.
Notice: I am not claiming to have written this entire tab by ear. "WingmanCO"
sumbitted this, I simply changed it a little.
Intro: D G Em A(light and flowing)
Verse
G A
Two months is too little
D Em
They let him go, they had no
G A
Sudden healing
G A
To think that providence would
D Em G
Take a child from his mother while she prays
A A
Is appalling
G A
Who told us we'd be rescued
D Em G
What has changed and why should we be saved
A
From nightmares
G A
We're asking why this happens
D Em G
To us, who have died to live
A
It's unfair
Chorus:
A D Em G
This is what it means to be held, how it feels
A D Em
When the sacred is torn from your life
G
And you survive
A D Em G
This is what it is to be loved, and to know
A D Em
That the promise was when everything fell
G A A
We'd be held
G A
This hand is bitterness
D Em G
We want to taste it, let the hatred numb
A
Our sorrow
G A
The wise hand opens slowly
D Em G
To lillies of the valley and
A
Tomorrow
Chorus:
A D Em G
This is what it means to be held, how it feels
A D Em
When the sacred is torn from your life
G
And you survive
A D Em G
This is what it is to be loved, and to know
A D Em
That the promise was when everything fell
G A A
We'd be held
Chorus(change of key)
Bridge
Am F G
If hope is born of suffering
Am F G
If this is only the beginning
Am F
Can we not wait for one hour
Am F
Watching for our Savior
F C G Am
This is what it means to be held, how it feels
F C G
When the sacred is torn from your life
Am
And you survive
F C G Am
This is what it is to be loved, and to know
F C G
That the promise was when everything fell
Am G or F
We'd be held
(F C G Am)
