Am                            G
You and I know I had to leave
F                               G
And the harbour lights, I cannot see
Am                       G              F               
But you were my rock never my stepping stone.

Am                          G
I held my tongue, I turn on my heels
Am
I couldn't look back.
G                       Am                  G                 F
I want you to know, That you were my rock never my stepping stone.

Am G             C  G/B  Am
You were never a stepping stone.

Am                   G
We both know I cannot come home.
F                      G
The water rose faster than I could run.
Am                   G               F
All my love has bruised my grieving bones.

Am                       G
Forgive my sins for I haven't found God
F                               G
And I don't know when I can trust my heart
Am                      G              F
But you were my rock never my stepping stone.

Am G             C  G/B  Am
You were never a stepping stone.
You were never a stepping stone.

F
She said I'll be your rock when the water comes
Am                            G
Don't waste your life on the stepping stones. [x3]

Am G             C  G/B  Am
You were never a stepping stone.
You were never a stepping stone.
