Above It All

INTRO:
| B / / / | F# / / / | G#m / / / | E / / / |

VERSE 1:
       B                             F#
Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul
     G#m                 E
Lord why did you lead me here?
          B                          F#
'Cause I, I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me
       G#m                            E
I know I'm not of this place, but its here and in my face

PD-C HORUS:
         G#m        F# E
All that I am wants to run
           G#m      F#    C#
God I feel helpless and undone

CHORUS 1:
        B           E
Lift me up above it all
            G#m        F#
I'm feeling broken and alone
      E
Don't let me turn to stone
        B              E
Lift my heart above it all
     G#m          F#
I've lost my hope tonight
        B               C#          E
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
              E       F#       B
Lord will you lift me above it all

TAG:
B F#         G#m E
    Above it all

VERSE 2:

        B                             F#
Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye
      G#m                             E
But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray
            B
Cause these streets are hard and cold
        F#                           G#m
And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness
            E
And all the life that's been misspent

BRIDGE:
C#m                       F#
Maybe I'm not supposed to fly
B                        F#
Maybe you want me here tonight

CHORUS 2:
             B           E
To lift them up above it all
             G#m        F#
When they're broken and alone
      E
Don't let me turn to stone
          B           E
Lift them up above it all
           G#m          F#
Cause they cannot stand alone
            B               C#          E
And they're praying for the strength to carry on
        B           E
Lift us up above it all
           G#m        F#
When we're broken and alone
      E
Don't let us turn to stone
        B           E
Lift us up above it all
           G#m          F#
Because we cannot stand alone
          B               C#          E
And we're praying for the strength to carry on
              E          F#       B
Lord will you lift us up above it all
