The Strength To Let Go

A                              E
I don’t like to admit when I’m wrong
 and need gifts of
   D
forgiveness instead of applause
      F#m                  E
I was dying to prove to myself I 
could make it
 D
alone, huh, yeah
        A                          
It took years to confess that your 
E
love was the best at
  D
unraveling all of my pride
       F#m                       E  
               N.C.
Had to laugh at myself when I 
realized you were my home

[Chorus]
                            A   E 
Give me the strength to let go
  D

                             A   E
Give me the strength to surrender
   D

                             F#m
Give me the strength to stop holding
 on
            E             D
I’ve been holding on so long
                            A   E 
Give me the strength to let go
  D

                        A   E   D
Show me the way to come home
                        A   E   D
Show me the way to come home

         A                    
Yeah I’m stubborn and bold but 
     E
sometimes it gets old fighting
D
voices inside of my brain
      F#m                     E   
I was trying to pretend I was fine
                    D
 when inside it was war
         A                    E
With the stumbling beat of my heart 
and my feet
        D
and the faults of my failures and 
pain
         F#m                    
To think all of this time I have 
 E                        D
wings that were ready to soar

[Chorus]
                            A   E 
Give me the strength to let go
  D

                             A   E
Give me the strength to surrender
   D

                             F#m
Give me the strength to stop holding
 on
            E             D
I’ve been holding on so long
                            A   E 
Give me the strength to let go
  D

                        A   E   D
Show me the way to come home
                        A   E   D
Show me the way to come home

[Bridge]
   D                   A          
Oh love, light the way home, light
       E
 up my soul
         F#m                 D
I choose mercy instead of control
              A                    
My life is on loan, forgive and let
 E
 go
    F#m       E            D
I embrace a belief I don’t know
                 A                 
What a beautiful sound, to lay your
      E
 life down
        F#m         E          D
your forgiveness is where I am found
             A                  
Here in your arms, I finally let 
 E
down
     N.C.                       D   
A   E
I am lightning and you are the 
ground
                               N.C.
I am lightning and you are the 
ground

[Chorus]
                            A   E 
Give me the strength to let … go
  D

Won’t you give me the faith to 
   A   E   D
surrender
Come on give me the strength to stop
 F#m
 holding on
            E             D
I’ve been holding on so long
Won't you give me the strength to 
    A   E   D
let go
                        A   E   D
Show me the way to come home
                        A   E   D
Show me the way to come home
