East To West

Em    G  D
Em    G  D


[Verse 1]

C/E    D/F#                   Em
Here I am, Lord and I'm drowning
            G                     
In Your sea of forgetfulness
C/E

                      D/F#         
The chains of yesterday surround me
   Em

  G                             C/E
I yearn for peace and rest
                       D        
I don't want to end up where You 
                  Em
found me
          G/B               C     
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me
             D/F#            C
 awake tonight


[Verse 2]

C/E                D/F#          
I know You've cast my sin as far 
     Em
as
          G                       
As the east is from the west
C/E

        D/F#                    Em
And I stand before You now as
     G                         C/E
As though I've never sinned
                 D                 
But today I feel like I'm just one 
      Em               G/B
mistake away
               C                   
From You leaving me this way
    D/F#

C
Jesus can You show me just how


[Chorus]

Em                  G           D
Far the east is from the west
                     Am
'Cause I can't bear to see the man 
I've been
C
Rising up in me again
         Em                     
In the arms of Your mercy I find 
     G       D
rest
               Am                
You know just how far the east is 
               G/B         C
from the west

From one scarred hand to the other


[Instrumental]

Em      D       Em        D


[Verse 3]

C/E          D/F#                Em
I start the day, the war begins
               G                   
Endless reminding of my sin
  C/E

               D/F#              
Time and time again Your truth is 
   Em
drowned out
G                       C/E
By the storm I'm in
            D                 
Today I feel like I'm just one 
      Em               G/B
mistake away
               C                   
From You leaving me this way
   D/F#

C
Jesus can You show me just how


[Chorus]

Em                  G           D
Far the east is from the west
                     Am
'Cause I can't bear to see the man 
I've been
C
Rising up in me again
         Em                     
In the arms of Your mercy I find 
     G       D
rest
               Am                
You know just how far the east is 
               G/B         C
from the west
                            (D) on 
chorus repeat
From one scarred hand to the other


[Bridge]

G                                 
I know You've washed me white
    D/F#

Turn my darkness into light
Em

                                G/C
I need Your peace to get me through
     C                             G
To get me through this night
                               Bm
I can't live by what I feel
About the truth Your work reveals
        Em

And I'm not holding on to You
    C

But You're holding on to me
  Em      D

                                 Em
You're holding on to me
          D



[Chorus] (watch out, chords are 
different!)

Jesus, You know just how far the 
       G                           
east is from the west
      D/F#

          Em
I don't have to see the man I've 
been
         G/C                    C
Come rising up in me again
         G                      
In the arms of Your mercy I find 
                D
rest (mercy I find rest)
               Am                
You know just how far the east is 
               G/B         C
from the west

From one scarred hand to the other


[Ending]

Em          D                    
(Just how far, the east is from 
              Em                   D
the west, just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
          Em

                               D   
(You know just how far, the east is
                                Em 
 from the west, just how far)
                 C


From one scarred hand to the other


An awesome song from a great band. 
I'll be honest and admit that
I'm really uncertain about the G/C 
chord in both places.
I'm open to suggestions. You're
