Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

( ) x2

Verse 1

Here I am, Lord and I'm drowning

 In Your sea of forgetfulness

 The chains of yesterday surround me

 I yearn for peace and rest

 I don't want to end up where You found me

 And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight

Verse 2

I know You've cast my sin as far as

 As the east is from the west

 And I stand before You now as

 As though I've never sinned

 But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away

 From You leaving me this way

Jesus can You show me just how

Chorus

Far the east is from the west

 'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been

Rising up in me again

 In the arms of Your mercy I find rest

 You know just how far the east is from the west

D on chorus repeat

From one scarred hand to the other

Instrumental

Verse 3

I start the day, the war begins

 Endless reminding of my sin

 Time and time again Your truth is drowned out

By the storm I'm in

 Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away

 From You leaving me this way

Jesus can You show me just how

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

I know You've washed me white

 Turn my darkness into light

 I need Your peace to get me through

 To get me through this night

 I can't live by what I feel

 About the truth Your work reveals

 And I'm not holding on to You

 But You're holding on to me

 You're holding on to me

Chorus

watch out, chords are different!)

 Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west

 I don't have to see the man I've been

 Come rising up in me again

 In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)

 You know just how far the east is from the west

From one scarred hand to the other

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

 From one scarred hand to the other

 (You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)

From one scarred hand to the other

An awesome song from a great band. I'll be honest and admit that

I'm really uncertain about the G/C chord in both places.

I'm open to suggestions. You're welcome to email me at

God bless ya!
