[Verse 1]
C F C
I chased you into the light
C G
Yeah I stayed there to see myself pure
C F C
All the ashes and scars they fail
C G C
They pale in comparison to yours
Am G/B C
There were footprints the size of the universe
Am G/B C
There were fortunes that no one could earn
C F C
So I chased you farther still
C G C
And I hope that I never return
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G
From the river's mouth
F C G
To the mountain peak
F C G C G Am
Through the great divide and the valley deep
F G C
I need you to carry me
[Chorus]
F C G
Carry me
F C G F C G
Carry me, I'm on my way
C G/B Am
But I'm in too deep
F G C
I need you to carry me
[Verse 2]
C F C
You were calling me, into the deep
C G
Into waters that no map could find
C
You were calling me
F C
Out beyond my fears
C G C
Where my darkness finds rest in your light
Am G/B C
I found a fortress where I could surrender
Am G/B C
Where my shame didn't hide what I lacked
C F C
And so I chased you out farther still
C G C
Cause I know that I ain't never coming back
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G
From the river's mouth
F C G
To the mountain peak
F C G C G Am
From the great divide and the oceans deep
F G C
I need you to carry me
[Chorus]
F C G
Carry me
F C G F C G
Carry me, I'm on my way
C G/B Am
But I'm in too deep
F G C
I need you to carry me
[Bridge]
C G C
I found a place where the past was forgiven
Am G C
Where my mistakes met a grace I couldn't earn
C F C
And so I piled up my excuses and defenses in the night
C G C
Then I lit a match, stepped back and watched them burn
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G
From the river's mouth
F C G
To the mountain peak
F C G C G Am
Through the great divide where the waters meet
F G C
I need you to carry me
[Chorus]
F C G
Carry me
F C G F C G
Carry me, I'm on my way
C G/B Am
But I'm in too deep
F G Am
I need you to carry me
F G C
I need you to carry me
[Outro]
F G C G Am
From the day I was born to the end of these seas
F G C
I need you to carry me
