Verse 1:
         A              E               A            A
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
E/G#        F#m           F#m         E        D
More that shines in the night than just the moon
         Bm                 Esus  E         A   E/G# F#m
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
      Bsus            B                Esus E
In a shelter that is larger than this room

            A              E               A         A
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
E/G#     F#m              F#m        E      D
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
Bm              Esus      E             A E/G# F#m
  The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
      Bsus         B               Esus    E
I owe only to the giver of all good things


Chorus:
          A           D             F#m         Bsus      B       Esus E Esus E
So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
          Bm           D            F#m              Esus   E     A   D F#m E
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you
      A            D          F#m           Bsus    B        Esus E Esus E
If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
          Bm         D       F#m          Esus    E       A   D  F#m E
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

Verse 2:
         A               D                A             A
There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
E/G#       F#m            F#m    E        D
More that pulses in the ocean than the tide
Bm                       Esus   E            A   E/G#    F#m
  There's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends
      Bsus           B               Esus           E
More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her side

            A              E               A         A
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
E/G#     F#m              F#m        E      D
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
Bm              Esus      E             A E/G# F#m
  The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
      Bsus         B                 Esus    E
I owe only to the giver of all good things
