This version goes with the Acoustic version of East to West from Casting
Crowns Acoustic Session Vol 1. It's different enough to need a separate Tab.
[Intro]
(Em C G) (x2)
[Verse 1]

In Your sea of forgetfulness

And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight

And I stand before You now

Jesus can You show me just how
[Chorus]

You know just how far the east is from the west

From one scarred hand to the other

Jesus can You show me just how

Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far

You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other ...
-----------------
I started with the version from ugudrum (Thanks Dude!) but I put the verses
and chorus in order for the acoustic version. I liked how an Em7 sounded
with C on "from the west." Also, I think the D/F# could be played as just D
and the C/E as just C.
