Switchfoot - The strength to let go

^AI don’t like to admit when I’m ^Ewrong and need gifts of for^Dgiveness instead of applause I was ^F#mdying to prove to mys^Eelf I could make it a^Dlone, huh, yeah It took ^Ayears to confess that your ^Elove was the best at un^Draveling all of my pride Had to ^F#mlaugh at myself when I rea^Elized you were my ^N.C.home

Give me the strength to let ^Ago ^{E D} Give me the strength to surre^Ander^{E D} Give me the strength to stop ^F#mholding on I’ve been ho^Elding on so lo^Dng Give me the strength to let ^Ago ^{E D} Show me the way to come ^Ahome^{E D} Show me the way to come ^Ahome^{E D}

Yeah I’m ^Astubborn and bold but some^Etimes it gets old fighting ^Dvoices inside of my brain I was ^F#mtrying to pretend I was ^Efine when inside it was ^Dwar With the ^Astumbling beat of my ^Eheart and my feet and the ^Dfaults of my failures and pain To think ^F#mall of this time I have ^Ewings that were ready to ^Dsoar

Give me the strength to let ^Ago ^{E D} Give me the strength to surre^Ander^{E D} Give me the strength to stop ^F#mholding on I’ve been ho^Elding on so lo^Dng Give me the strength to let ^Ago ^{E D} Show me the way to come ^Ahome^{E D} Show me the way to come ^Ahome^{E D}

Oh ^Dlove, light the way ^Ahome, light up my ^Esoul I choose ^F#mmercy instead of con^Dtrol My life is on ^Aloan, forgive and let ^Ego I em^F#mbrace a be^Elief I don’t ^Dknow What a beautiful ^Asound, to lay your life ^Edown your for^F#mgiveness is ^Ewhere I am ^Dfound Here in your ^Aarms, I finally let ^Edown I am ^N.C.lightning and you are the g^Droun^Ad ^E I am lightning and you are the ^N.C.ground

Give me the strength to let ^A… go^{E D} Won’t you give me the faith to sur^Arend^Eer ^D Come on give me the strength to stop ^F#mholding on I’ve been ho^Elding on so lo^Dng Won't you give me the strength to let ^Ago ^{E D} Show me the way to come ^Ahome^{E D} Show me the way to come ^Ahome^{E D}
