Capo on 2nd fret
              This is one of my favorite songs out of all
Amy has ever recorded.
 
**** (or see below for no capo chords)
 
Intro: G
 
Verse 1:
               G
They were the sweetest words I'd ever heard
    C
My heart could barely take it in
     Em
Like water offered to the lips
C
Of a tired and thirsty man
              G
Cause it's a tangled web I've woven
   C
I don't know all the reasons
        Em
But it amazes me to wake up
         C
To Your mercy every morning
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
        D
So I'm standing here and spinning 'round
C                  G
In the fields of freedom
         D
And I'm still alive and reaching out
    C               D
And I can feel the healing
(Cause you say...)
G                G9       G               G9
Come on out come on out, come on out come on out
Em         C
Out in the open
G                G9       G               G9
Come on out come on out, come on out come on out
Em        C
Into the light
D                  C           Em <--(G in chorus 2&3)
There is no jury, there is no judge
D
Ready and waiting
                     G
Are the steady arms of love 
Verse 2:
For the sake of never making waves I
Kept my secrets to myself
And no one ever really knew the
Darker shadows of my heart
But I will be a witness
That there's nothing in me dark enough
The power of forgiveness
Cannot rescue from the deep
