Am
I got a feeling as a matter of fact

It's like my whole world just came under attack
G
And I hear a voice tellin' me to turn back
E
�Cause I must be onto somethin'
Am
It happens every single time I get close to
F
Everything I know is good and right and so true
G
It's like somebody doesn't want me to love You
E
And I must be onto somethin'
F C
So help me hold on
G
Help me be strong
E
�Cause I don't wanna move unless You move me
Chorus:
Am F
I wanna know how it feels to be
C G (E)
Standing in the center of Your will for me
Am F
I wanna know what surrender means
C G (E)
Keep me in the center of Your will for me
Am C G E
Keep me in the center
Am
God forbid I start to think I'm on a roll now
F
�Cause I do believe there is a battle for my soul now
G
And I can feel the world fighting for control now
E
I must be onto somethin'
Am
So help me hold on just a little bit longer
F
�Cause all this struggle's gonna do is make me stronger
G
This is the everyday prayer of my heart
E
I just wanna stay where You are
