A       D       A       D

[Verse]
           A                       E
There were photographs I wanted to take
F#m      D              E
Things I wanted to show you
D                     F#m
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
D                  A    E
Who could love you like this?
        A                       E
People say that I am brave but I'm not
D                   E
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
F#m                   D
But there's a greater story
             E
Written long before me
           A              E
Because He loves you like this

[Chorus]
   A            D
So I will carry you
           F#m   E     A
While your heart beats here
                D
Long beyond the empty cradle
E
Through the coming years
A            D
I will carry you
F#m E  D
All my life
    F#m               E                D
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
   E     A
To carry you

[Bridge]
             D
Such a short time
            A
Such a long road
         E
All this madness
      D
But I know

That the silence
    A                 E
Has brought me to His voice

And He says

[Verse]
                A                  E
I've shown her photographs of time beginning
F#m        B                  E
Walked her through the parted seas
D                F#m
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
D                       E
Who could love her like this?

[Chorus]
A            D
I will carry you
           F#m   E     A
While your heart beats here
A               D
Long beyond the empty cradle
E
Through the coming years
A            D
I will carry you
F#m E    D
All your life
F#m                   E                D
And I will praise the One Who's chosen Me
   E     A              D
To carry you
