Steven Curtis Chapman - Live Out Loud

Click here for a plain text version of this song (for better printing)

I've wanted to know how to play this song for a long time, but all the other tabs that I looked at on this song are played in 
standard tuning, something that I know Steven Curtis Chapman does not do when he plays this song. I believe this is the exact way he 
plays the song on the CD. Good luck guys!

Verse 2:


Think about this: Try to keep a bird from singin',


After it's soared up in the sky


Give the sun a cloudless day and tell it not to shine


Think about this: if we really have been given,


A gift of life that will never end


And if we have been filled with living hope, we're gonna overflow


If God's love is burning in our hearts we're gonna glow

        
There's just no way to keep it in
