East To West Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C][D]
[Em][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[C]Here I am [D]Lord and I'm dro[Em]wning
In your [G]sea of forgetful[C]ness
The chains of [D]yesterday [Em]surround me
I [G]yearn for peace and [C]rest
I don't want to [D]end up where you [Em]found me
And it [G]echoes in my [C]mind
Keeps [D]me awake to[C]night

[Verse 2]
[C]I know you've cas[D]t my sin as far[Em]
As the [G]east is from the [C]west
And I [D]stand before you [Em]now
As [G]though I've never [C]sinned
But today I [D]feel like
I'm just [Em]one mistake a[Bm]way
From you [C]leaving me this [D]way

[Chorus 1]
[C]Jesus, can you show me just how [Em]far
the east is [G]from the [D]west?
'Cause I can't [Am]bear to see the man I've been
Come [C]rising up in me a[D]gain
In the [Em]arms of your mercy [G]I find r[D]est
You know [Am]just how far
the east is [Bm]from the [C]west

[Interlude 1]
From one scarred hand to the other
[Em][C][D]
[Em][C][D]

[Verse 3]
[C]I start the day[D], the war begin[Em]s
Endless [G]reminding of my [C]sin
And time and [D]time again
Your [Em]truth is drowned out
[G]by the storm I'm [C]in
Today I [D]feel like
I'm just [Em]one mistake a[Bm]way
From you [C]leaving me this [D]way

[Chorus 2]
[C]Jesus, can you show me just how [Em]far
the east is [G]from the [D]west?
'Cause I can't [Am]bear to see the man I've been
Come [C]rising up in me a[D]gain
In the [Em]arms of your mercy [G]I find r[D]est
You know [Am]just how far
the east is [Bm]from the [C]west
From one scarred [D]hand to the other

[Bridge 1]
[G]I know you've washed me whi[Bm]te
Turned my darkness into [Em]light
I need your peace to get me through
To [C]get me through this [G]night
I can't live by what I [Bm]feel
But by the truth your word re[Em]veals
And I'm not holding onto [C]you
But you're holding onto [Em]me[C][D]
You're holding onto [Em]me[C][D]

[Chorus 3]
Jesus, you know just how [G]far
the east is from the [D]west
I don't [Em]have to see the man I've been
Come rising up in [C]me again
In the [G]arms of your mercy I find [D]rest
You know [Am]just how far
the east is [Bm]from the [C]west

[Outro 1]
From one scarred hand to the other
[Em]Just how far,[D]
the east is from the [Em]west
Just how [D]far
From one scarred hand to the [Em]other
You know just how [D]far,
the east is from the [Em]west
Just how [C]far
From one scarred hand to the other
[Strings]
