guitar chords lyrics

Newsboys

Am G/B F Dm7
Am G/B C

Am G/B
Maybe I push when I meant to be still
F Dm7
Maybe I take it all too personal
Am G/B C
Jesus, how to reconcile
Am G/B

The joyful noise, the ancient land
F Dm7
The tug from some invisible hand
Am G/B Dm7
The dying mother weaving bulrushes
F
Along the Nile

C G/B Am
Float her basket over the sea
F G
Here on a barren shore, we'll be waiting for
C G/B Am
A tailwind to carry her orphan's cry
F G
Don't you worry child, I wrote a lullaby

Am G/B
I try to settle, but I just pass through
F Dm7 Am
A rain dog, a gypsy, a wandering Jew
G/B C
All those homes where not ours
Am G/B
Then I slept one night in Abraham's field
F Dm7 Am G/B
And dreamt there was no moon the night he died
F
Counting stars, Selah

Chorus to Bridge: G

Am G Am
Building you a home, building you a home
G Dm7 F
Building you a home, we're Building you a home, Selah

C G/B Am
Float her basket over the sea
F G
Here on a barren shore, we'll be waiting for
C G/B Am
A tailwind to carry her orphan's cry
F G
Don't you worry child, I wrote a lullaby
C G/B Am
Float her basket over the sea
F G
Here on a barren shore, we'll be waiting for
C G/B Am
A tailwind to bring us your sweet cry
F G
Don't you worry child, I'm gonna sing you a lullaby

End:
Am G/B F Dm7
Am G/B C
