"Grace"
Alan Rickertsen
Intro
[E] [A] [B] [E]
Verse 1
[E] [A] [B] [E]
The years have left their marks on me, lines etched in weathered skin
[E] [A] [B] [E]
Chased the horizon endless miles, paid the price for every sin
[E] [A] [B] [E]
Dust on my boots and questions heavy, wondering where it all leads
[E] [A] [B] [E] [Esus4]
But something in the quiet moments, plants a different kind of seed
Chorus
[G] [C] [D] [G]
Let……….. it come, whatever the morning brings
[G] [C] [D] [G]
I'm holding on but learning how, to loosen up these strings
[G] [C] [D] [G]
No more fighting every current, no more trying to steer alone
[G] [C] [D] [G]
Just open hands and open heart – Your grace will carry me home
[G] [A] [B] [E]
Verse 2
[E] [A] [B] [E]
Seen good times roll like summer thunder, watched the hard rains fall
[E] [A] [B] [E]
Loved and lost and started over, answered every curtain call
[E] [A] [B] [E]
The road taught me I'm not the captain, just a sailor on the sea
[E] [A] [B] [E] [Esus4]
And every wave breaking over me, brings me closer to being free
Chorus
[G] [C] [D] [G]
Let……….. it come, whatever the morning brings
[G] [C] [D] [G]
I'm holding on but learning how, to loosen up these strings
[G] [C] [D] [G]
No more fighting every current, no more trying to steer alone
[G] [C] [D] [G]
Just open hands and open heart – Your grace will carry me home
[G] [A] [B] [E]
Verse 3
[E] [A] [B] [E]
When the final sunset paints the sky, in gold and fading light
[E] [A] [B] [E]
I won't go out swinging wildly, I'll go gentle into that night
[E] [A] [B] [E]
Raise a glass for all the lessons, thank the hands that guided me
[E] [A] [B] [E] [Esus4]
And smile knowing every chapter, was part of the mystery
Chorus
[G] [C] [D] [G]
Let……….. it come, whatever the morning brings
[G] [C] [D] [G]
I'm holding on but learning how, to loosen up these strings
[G] [C] [D] [G]
No more fighting every current, no more trying to steer alone
[G] [C] [D] [G]
Just open hands and open heart – Your grace will carry me home
[G] [A] [B] [E]
Outro
[E] [A] [B] [E]
"Your grace, will carry me home"
