verse 1:
Gadd4
I climbed up a lion of rock
Gadd4
There overlooking the swirls of the world
Am9
All the shifting of sands that I saw
Am9
Conflicting energies giving and taking
Bm11
The fluid grace of it all
Bm11
Billowing shadows of clouds in the sand
Cmaj7
While the waves lay down all stretched and taught
Cmaj7 Em7 G
Folding and wrinkling back to the source of it all
Em7 G Cmaj7
Ah_________
Am7
Every breath is give and take
Cmaj7 Em9
Every breath is give and take
Am7
Every breath is give and take
Cmaj7 Em7 G
Every breath is give and take, give and take
verse 2:
Gadd4
I love you, oh, gentlest of ways
Gadd4
Who ripens us as we wrestle with you
Am9
The great homesickness we cannot shake
Am9
You the great forest surrounding us now
Bm11
In silence it’s you that we sing
Bm11
Billowing shadows of Heaven on earth
Cmaj7
As we lay down our lives stretched and taught
Cmaj7 Em7 G
Folding and wrinkling back to the source of it all
Em7 G Cmaj7
Ah_________
Em7
Every breath is give and take
Cmaj7 Em9 G
Every breath is give and take
D Em7 G Em7 Cmaj7
Every breath is give and take
D5 Em7
Every breath is give and take
Em7
Every breath is give and take, give and take
E5 A5 G5 D5
Give and take
verse 3:
G5
I see it all like a hymn
G5
The constant refrain of the echo and change and
G5
All is beautiful
E5 A5 G5 D5 E5 A5
All is beautiful
Bridge:
G5
Everything, everyone building and breaking
D5
And I see the grace of it all
E5
There is no giving without any taking
A5
There’s no love without any loss
G5 D5 G
All is beautiful
Ending:
Gadd4
Suddenly everything came into focus
Am9
As I saw her taking a walk
Am9
The tiniest speck, just a grain in the wind
Bm11
But oh, how much great in the small
Bm11
The tiniest body containing the glory
Cmaj7
Of Heaven and angels and God
Cmaj7 Em7 G
I climbed down the rock and I ran to the sand and my love
Em7 G Cmaj7
My love
