[Intro]
B   Bb   D#m   F#   (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
    B                 Bb
My heart is spilling over
   D#m           F#
Crashing on the ground
   B                  Bb
I can't see what's around me
  D#m              F#
But soon I'll come round
    B               Bb
My faith is in the balance
  D#m             F#
Of a million tiny words
  B             Bb       D#m   F#
So I return to silence
 
 
[Chorus]
         B                 Bb
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
   D#m                        F#
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
   B                   Bb
May never come but I'm willing to wait
  D#m                  F#
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
         B                 Bb
And there's an ocean in my body
               D#m         F#
And there's a river in my soul
    B           Bb   D#m   F#
And I'm crying
 
 
[Verse 2]
      B            Bb
It's time that I let go
      D#m           F#
Of things I can't control
      B                Bb
This path that I've taken
       D#m         F#
Is the only one I know
            B                 Bb
Well I've come so far to get here
        D#m           F#
And I've got so far to go
       B                 Bb
So I'll take what I can get
    D#m           F#
In matters of the soul
 
 
[Chorus]
         B                 Bb
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
   D#m                        F#
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
   B                   Bb
May never come but I'm willing to wait
  D#m                  F#
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
         B                 Bb
And there's an ocean in my body
               D#m         F#
And there's a river in my soul
    B           Bb   D#m   F#
And I'm crying
 
 
[Bridge]
Bb7            D#m
And we are the dawn
 Bb7            D#m
And we carry the sun
Bb7            D#m
And we are the dawn
 Bb7            D#m
And we carry the sun
 
[Instrumental]
B   Bb   D#m   F#   (x4)
 
[Chorus]
         B                 Bb
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
   D#m                        F#
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
   B                   Bb
May never come but I'm willing to wait
  D#m                  F#
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
         B                 Bb
And there's an ocean in my body
               D#m         F#
And there's a river in my soul
    B           Bb   D#m   F#
And I'm crying
         B                 Bb
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
   D#m                        F#
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
   B                   Bb
May never come but I'm willing to wait
  D#m                  F#
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
         B                 Bb
And there's an ocean in my body
               D#m         F#
And there's a river in my soul
    B           Bb   D#m   F#
And I'm crying

Chords sound right to me. Finger pick the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strings, and play the roots with the thumb on the down beat.
