CAPO 4
 
[Intro]
G Csus2 (x4) (Cadd9 will also work)
 
[Verse 1]
G                     D5/F#
 I've been the one to shake with fear
Em                    Cadd9
 And wonder if You're even here
G                     D5/F#
 I've been the one to doubt Your love
Em                    CM7
 I've told myself You're not enough
G           D5/F#  Em        CM7
 Oh   oh oh oh,      Oh   oh oh oh oh oh (x2)
 
[Verse 2]
G                     D5/F#
 I've been the one to try and say
Em                Cadd9 (x32030)
 I'll overcome by my own strength
G                     D5/F#
 I've been the one to fall apart
Em                     CM7
 And start to question who You are
 
[Chorus]
G                    D5/F#
 You're the one who conquers giants
Em                  Cadd9
 You're the one who calls out kings
G             D5/F#
 You shut the mouths of lions
Em            CM7
 You tell the dead to breathe
G                    D5/F#
 You're the one who walks through fire
Em            Cadd9
 You take the orphan's hand
G            D5/F#
 You are the one Messiah
Em     CM7   G               D5/F#
   You are I am  (Oh   oh oh oh      ...)
Em     Cadd9 G               D5/F#  Em      CM7
   You are I am  (Oh   oh oh oh,      Oh oh oh oh oh)
 
[Verse 3]
G                       D5/F#
 I've been the one held down in chains
Em                     Cadd9 (x32030)
 Beneath the weight of all my shame
G                  D5/F#
 I've been the one to believe
Em                   CM7
 That where I am You cannot reach
 
Repeat chorus
 
[Bridge]
Cadd9  D5           Em
        The veil is torn
          Cadd9  D5                  Em
And now I live,    with the Spirit inside
         Cadd9              D5/F#
The same one, the very same one
                Em
who brought the Son back to life
G     D5/F#    Em       CM7
Hallelujah, He lives in me  (x4)
 
[Outro]
Repeat chorus, but replace last two lines with:
Em     CM7   G           D5/F#
   You are I am   (Hallelujah ...)
Em     Cadd9 G          D5/F#    Em       CM7   G (3200xx)
   You are I am  (Hallelujah, He lives in me)

Your G should be (32003x) other wise it's a GM7. The D5/F# should just be a D/F# because the chord is still a full D chord, the third (F#) is just in the bass (however there is no D/F# in this song the bass sticks to the root the whole song). Also, there is no CM7 in the song. The intro is just the same chords as the verse and chorus and the bridge should be C - D - Em each time instead of D - C - Em the first time. What you have is a good start. Keep at it :)

I like to play the two D5 chords in the bridge as D5, i.e. with the D string as a bass. MP3 recording is available at https://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/jeh1n/music/all/play1169836. Thank you.

Love the tab. Would love it if the 2nd chorus was typed out again so that it’s easier to stay with the song when using auto scroll.
