Album: KICKING UP A STORM | Song lyrics to: WHY I LIVE
"WHY I LIVE"
Capo: 1st fret
Intro: D, G, D/F#, Asus4, Bm, G, D, Asus4
Verse 1(D) Why do these tears run down my cheek?
(G) Why do I feel so uncertain?
(D) Why does tomorrow look so bleak?
Should I (G) open up my curtains,
Or should I (D) go to sleep? (G)
I (D) know I was born to live for God,
To (G) be apart and to be call(A)ed out.
(D) Even when there’re times that I feel odd,
The (G) truth is truth and I won’t let g(Asus4)o. (G)
Chorus(D) No, I won’t li(G)e here and cr(Em)y.
Don't have to have all (G) of the answers,
I (Asus4) just have to tr(Bm)y.
I’ve been cal(G)led,
That’s why I (Em)live.
I’m not much at (G) all,
But please (Asus4) use me all You (D) can.
Interlude: D, G, D/F#, Asus4, Bm, G, D, Asus4
Verse 2(D) So many questions in my head:
What (G) should I say, what should I not (Asus4) say?
(D) I’ve decided I don’t care
What (G) others think of me.
My (D) life is Yours. (G)
So (D) take me, Lord, and fill me now.
I (G) have no hope in what I can (Asus4) be.
I’m (D) nothing, really, just a girl.
I (G) give to You my mind and my (Asus4) heart (G)
Chorus(D) No, I won’t li(G)e here and cr(Em)y.
Don't have to have all (G) of the answers,
I (Asus4) just have to tr(Bm)y.
I’ve been cal(G)led,
That’s why I (Em)live.
I’m not much at (G) all,
But please (Asus4) use me all You (Bm) can.
BridgeTake my ha(Em)nd,
Take my he(A)art
Help me to (D) leave all my (A/C#) past far be(Bm)hind
Make me in(Em)to the child of love that I was bo(A)rn to be for this era in (G) time.
Chorus(D) No, I won’t li(G)e here and cr(Em)y.
Don't have to have all (G) of the answers,
I (Asus4) just have to tr(Bm)y.
I’ve been cal(G)led,
That’s why I (Em)live.
I’m not much at (G) all,
But please (Asus4) use me all You (D) can.
Repeat Chorus
