"?" can be a standard D, but it sounds right the way I have it - let me know if I'm wrong!
Intro:
G  "?"  C  D
G  "?"  C  D
First verse:
G
I'm walking in an open field,
"?"
looking for some space to fill.
C                                   D
I believe there's something left to hold.
G
So even when the sun goes down,
"?"
and there's no one around,
C                                 D
I'm standing in the freedom of my soul.

Refrain:
Am7                                      D
And the truth of the matter is still the same,
                  G          D          C
It's that you and I, we will not be here forever.
Am7                             D
The truth of the matter is still the same...

Chorus:
            G   "?"
I'm ready to stand
            C   D
I'm ready to stand
            G   "?"
I'm ready to stand
            C   D      G "?" C  D
I'm ready to stand...

Verse 2

I can see the earth from here, I can see it Shaking fear,

I can see it falling to its knees.

But you know it's not the same. My burden is a burning flame.

I hold it up for all the world to see...

[Refrain]


"Don't tell God how big your problems are.  Tell your problems how BIG God is!"

Peace. Love. Mook.
