This song is made up of three parts: Verse type 1 (V1), Verse type 2
(V2) and Chorus (CH). I have listed the chords for each line until
the first chorus so you can get the hang of it. The song pattern is
V1-V2-V1-V2-CH-V1-V2-CH, with the last part of the chorus repeated at
the very end. It's easy to hear when you listen.
V1:
AF#m
jesus are you real
DA
did we make you up
AF#m
is salvation what you want
D A
or is faith enough
A F#m
do you know where i?m bound
D A
do you know who i am
A F#m
are you just a word i use
D A
when i don?t understand
V2:
AF#m
standing like a statue in the sea
DA
in a little truck stop in tennessee
E F#m
bombs are crashing down in waves
D A
on a giant tv screen
EF#m
and i am struck i cannot move
DA
to make it stop what can i do
EF#m
people are dying in their beds
DA E
while this flag flies over our heads
V1:
AF#m
jesus are you stronger
DA
than a loaded gun
AF#m
i?m beginning to believe
DA
you?re not the only one
AF#m
strong enough to show your love
DA
strong enough to give
AF#m
strong enough to go through hell
DA
strong enough to live
V2:
AF#m
all night long i sat with you
DA
in a darkened hospital room
EF#m
nurses checked in by the hour
DA
i was made aware of a higher power
EF#m
and how this fragile life we live
DA
is not ours to keep but ours to give
EF#m
what in the world am i gonna do
DAE
if anything should happen to you
CH:
E C#m
all i do is doubt you god
A E
all is do is love you god
G6 F#m
all i do is question you
F#m/Bmsus4 F#m/B7
what else can i do
E C#m
this world was never solid ground
A E
the past is coming back around
G6 F#m
all i do is search for you
F#m/Bmsus4 F#m/B7
what else can i do
E C#m
and when i say i search for you
A F#m E
i mean i search for peace
E C#m
i search for hope i search for love
A F#m E
and one day for release
V1:
jesus, my life
does not feel the same
new things happen every day
things i can?t explain
but i am not a man of faith
i?m a man of truth
but is this feeling in my heart
is this feeling proof
V2:
when you do not know
you know
and when you know
you do not know
and when you think you do you die
and when you do do not think you grow
are we left here in the dark
or are we left here in the light
it seems to me that both are true
and it?s up to us to know what?s right
CH:
all i do is doubt you god
all is do is love you god
all i do is question you
what else can i do
this world was never solid ground
religion cannot help me now
all i do is search for you
what else can i do
and when i say i search for you
i mean i search for peace
i search for hope
i search for love
and one day for release
E C#m
god give me strength to accept the things
A F#m E
that i just cannot know
E C#m
and even when i lose control
A F#m E
i will not let you go
