Capo on 1st fret

Intro:
C-F-Dm-F-C-G

D
I could make a promise to you,
G
But that would be too easy to do.
A            G
You see I've made them before,
    A                          G
And broken them and they're no good anymore.
D
So I'll dig a little bit deeper,
G
give you something you can keep.
A             G
I will make a vow to you,
            A                      G
And it will never change no matter what I do.


Chorus:
C
Right here, right now,
                      F
In the midst of the crowd,
                          Dm
I stand alone and make my vow.
            F                G
Whatever it takes I will be faithful.
             C
This is my vow.

D
As the words fall from my lips,
G
We both know the life I live,
A     G
How I stumble and fall,
A                     G
How many times I land short of the call.
D
I will confess my inadequacy,
G
Throw myself into the mystery.
A                   G
That somehow in the depth of your love,
         A                       G
You will help me do what I'm not capable of.

Chorus:
C
Right here, right now,
                    F
In the midst of the crowd,
                          Dm
I stand alone and make my vow.
            F               G
Whatever it takes I will be faithful.
C
Right here, right now,
                F
Let there be no doubt.
                               Dm
With every whisper, with every shout,
                    F              G
Let the whole world know I will be faithful.
           C
This is my vow.

        Stephen
