[Intro]
Am G F Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Above the plains of Omaha
G C E
I think of all the sufferin' I saw
F C
The soakin' of the pavement
G F
Sprawled upon a land without a law
G Am Em F
Everythin' I loved, everythin' I found what I hoped for
C
Frightened and surrounded
G F
Who else is there to turn to anymore?
[Chorus]
F C
Oh I held out my heart
F C
Oh I held out my heart
F Am G F
Held out my heart
C G
Oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
Am
There was a time I spoke the truth
G C E
But my younger years were wasted on my youth
F C
Somewhere I awakened
G F
With a crack to a poundin' on the roof
G
Sure I heard the sound
Am Em F
As evidence, or better yet as proof
C G
I was naked as the day I was born
F
'Neath the fullness of the moon
[Chorus]
F C
Oh I held out my heart
F C
Oh I held out my heart
F Am G F
Held out my heart
C G
Oh oh oh
[Bridge]
Em F Am G
Far away I hear singin'
Em F Am Em
Far away a song
[Solo]
F Am G F
Am Am G F
F Am Em F
Am
[Verse 3]
Am
The blinding light of morning came
G C E
Flooding through the window like a friend
F C
Like a wild revelation
G F
Like a shining invitation to attend
G
Spoken as a prayer
Am Em F
Unbroken by despair I make amends
F C
The love inside our hearts
G F
Is the only kind of savior we've been sent
[Chorus]
F C
Oh I held out my heart
F C
Oh I held out my heart
F Am G F
Held out my heart
C G Am G Am
Oh oh oh

The F chord at the end of the verse sounds much better if you change it to Am

On the album they sing “held out my arms” not “heart”, held out my heart is cool(er) but it’s not the line unless you are playing the live version - other than that good chart
