x(Lowest string tuned to D)
Verse 1:
Bm9 A4
Walking with you is not without hazards
E7 Gsus2 A4
Tripping's this traveler's curse
Bm9 A4
The price paid for falling is more than my stumble
E7 Gsus2
In a world that is watching and waiting for worse
D A5
But I listened when you said to go
D/F# Gsus2
And I set out in spite of my fears
D A5
I brought truth mixed with my imperfections
D/F# G D A5
And the question of what to say when I got here
And now that I'm here
Chorus:
Bm G
Should I tell them that you are the one who has made me
D A
And saved me to set up a home there inside
Bm G
Should I tell them that I am a perfect example
D A
Of all you can do with a life?
Bm
What should I say to them?
A G D/F#
What if I'm failing them?
G A
What should I tell them tonight?
Interlude: Bm9 A4 D/F# Gsus2 A4
Verse 2:
Bm9 A4
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to be here
E7 Gsus2 A4
With this song to sing and a spotlight on me
Bm9 A4
But lately I'm wondering if you are mistaken
E7 Gsus2
If you're seeing all of me there is to see
D A5
But on every face I detect
D/F# Gsus2
The same questions I've posed to you
D A5
Like "Do You speak through the imperfect,
D/F# Gsus2 D5 A5
Or are we too dirty for Your light to get through?"
I want your light to get through
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Em D/F#
Well, they're thirsty but my cup is empty, Lord
G A
Come and meet me here in this place
Em D/F#
Cause I'm unashamed, but I'm unprepared
G A
And I'm just plain afraid
(Chorus 2x)
G A D
What should I tell them tonight?
