Guitar 2: A# (x4)  D*

Even now your eyes are courting sleep
I'll stay by your side as I have always been
D*                                                A#
Sleep tonight, may your dreams reveal my love for you
   A#              A#         A#                A D C D G A#
Beyond what I must do, do you know my plans for you

D*            C
To separate myself from where my treasure lies
D*                          C
Then naked in this cold and lonely unforgiving life
   D*                     C                              A#        A#
Be stripped away of all delusions of the man I'd like to be at the moment
     D*           C                            D*
I am broken parts sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show
     C
No illusions left to hide behind
D*                          C                    A#
Burning clean has been both agony and absolute release
      A#                A#          A#          A D C D G A# A D C D G A#
Can I hope to pass this test, is my destiny the wilderness

    A       D       C     D G
The hardest part of letting go
   A        D     C  D    G
Is trusting you with everything
   A  D   C    D  G       A  D     C   D   G        A#
In laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am
A#             A#       A#              D
Father what is man that You are mindful of him

To stand alone against a life of wretchedness
Impossible to hope and so I plead
Your graciousness show me your glory 
May my life reflect your presence
A#  A#    A#    A#             A D C D G A# A D C D G A#
And never again find myself in anything less

    A       D       C     D G
