Am   Em   Dm   F


[Verse 1]

    Am                                          Em
The world just took another spin in the wrong direction
              Dm               F
Hate found a handgun, and now nobody feels safe
        Am                                              Em
I gotta turn off the news so my kids don’t see another tragedy
                     Dm           F
I wanna let em stay innocent, at least for one more day


                   Am                               Em
Cause just when I think it can’t get worse, it gets worse
                          Dm
And there are no words to say
                          F
How much more can our hearts take?


[Chorus]

         C                          Em
In this shattered place, where the shadows cover
          Am                      F
Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other
          C                        Em
My heart aches for home, right now more than ever
         Am                 F
But I’m holding on, to the hope of heaven
         Am               G              F
And the promise that the day is drawing near
                          Am     Em
You will wipe away every tear
                          Dm     F
You will wipe away every tear


[Verse 2]

              Am                            Em
There will be no more terror, no more riots in the street
            Dm                       F
And we will all be seen, beyond the color of our skin


          Am                            Em
No more fighting, no more war, no more hunger left ignored
          Dm                    
No more sickness, no more pain
               F
We’re here for now but we won’t stay


[Chorus]

         C                          Em
In this shattered place, where the shadows cover
          Am                      F
Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other
          C                        Em
My heart aches for home, right now more than ever
         Am                 F
But I’m holding on, to the hope of heaven
         Am                      G       F
And the promise that the day is drawing near
                          C        G
You will wipe away every tear
                          Am       F
You will wipe away every tear   Ooooh


[Bridge]

             G           Am      F
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted
             G           Am      F
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted
            G           Am      F
Oh Lord be close to the broken-hearted
            Dm
We need you now
             F
We need you now


[Chorus]

         C                          Em
In this shattered place, where the shadows cover
          Am                      F
Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other
          C                        Em
My heart aches for home, right now more than ever
         Am                 F
But I’m holding on, to the hope of heaven
         Am               G              F
And the promise that the day is drawing near
                 Am                  G            F
When your great light will make the darkness disappear
                                C           G
And you will wipe away every tear,  every tear
                          Am       F
You will wipe away every tear      


[Outro]

         Am                            Em
Lord be close to the broken-hearted
         Dm                            F   
Lord be close to the broken-hearted
