The Race Chords

[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
    C                     F
Oh trust, where have you gone? 
           C               F
I used to sing you like a song
       C                F
Oh my arms were opened wide, 
        C                     F
Not a single fear crossed my mind
       G                        Am
Oh my eyes found wonder in the darkest places
    G                       F
I danced to the rhythm of grace
        G                    Am
Not a single hardship could take my laughter
   G              F
I persevered the race.
     F2                   Am     G
But now I look through a dirty mirror
     F2               Am        G
Oh innocence l can't find you anymore
        F2                  Am        G
You've locked yourselfin a shell of safety
        Am     G      F
But the emptiness remains
       Am     G      F
Oh the emptiness remains
 
[Chorus]
  Am                F
Find me somewhere along the road of trust
          C                                G
So I can take your hand again and you can teach me how to love
    Am              F
Find me somewhere along the road of grace
          C                      G
So I can open up my heart and together
                Am
We can run the race
               F         C                    G
The race, the race, oh grace, we can run the race
 
[Verse 2]
     C             F
Oh trust, open my eyes
   C             F
Teach me how to fly
            C             F
Shine your light into my eyes
        C            F
So that I may come alive
         G                 Am
Oh the stormy clouds rain down upon me
    G                   F
My wings they ache for rest
       G                Am
Oh my fear has shadowed the light of safety
       G                F
But I run and I run my best
       F2                     Am     G
Don't leave me here in this broken valley
   F2                              Am       G
I know there's more, I just can't find it anymore
       F2                  Am         G
I want to dance with the saints and angels
    Am       G       F
Oh bring me back to life
    Am       G       F
Oh bring me back to life
 
[Chorus]
   Am                F
Find me somewhere along the road of trust
          C                                G
So I can take your hand again and you can teach me how to love
    Am              F
Find me somewhere along the road of grace
          C                      G
So I can open up my heart and together
                Am
We can run the race
               F         C                    G
The race, the race, oh grace, we can run the race
 
[Bridge]
        Am
Oh you found me, you found me
      F
And filled me with your song!
         C                                   G
Oh this race that I'd been running wasn't a race all along
        Am
Oh the joy, oh the freedom!
 F
How could I not see?
      C                  G2
All along it was never about me
n.c.
It's about...
 
[Chorus]
  Am                    F
Finding you somewhere along the road of trust
           C                                 G
So we can take your hand again and you can teach us how to love
        Am              F
Finding you somewhere along the road of grace
           C                      G
So we can open up our hearts and together
                Am
We can run the race
               F         C                    G
The race, the race, oh grace, we can run the race
