"We were never meant to walk this road alone. Let's begin to stand in the gap for
one another." - MWS


Capo 1st fret (all tab and chords relative to capo)


Intro:
Am - Dm - G - Esus - E


Verse 1:
Am                                            Dm
 Sometimes I wonder if my beating heart has a reason
G                                               Esus  E
 The thought of breathing only takes my breath away
Am                                             Dm
 I've spent so many nights wrestling with this feeling
G                                               Esus  E
 Do I have the strength to make it through the day
F                C        G               Am
 But I was never meant to walk this road alone
F             C                  E
 I can always trust you when you say


Chorus:
A E           A
I  will carry you
D        A        C#m           F#m
 Be your strength, and pull you through
E          A E            A
 Reach for me and take my hand
D        A   C#m          F#m
 We will pray and we will stand
     Bm    E              A
In a world crying out for peace
F#m               G
Let your heart be strong
C#m           F#m  E              A
For when I am weak you will carry me


Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
Sometimes you wonder if the road you're on has a reason
It's hard to go on, when you just don't know
We can shoulder all the weight of life between us
Until the fear of what we cannot see is gone
'Cause we were never meant to walk this road alone
We are are bound together when we say


Chorus


Chorus 2:
    E            A
And I will carry you
D        A        C#m           F#m
 Be your strength, and pull you through
     Bm    E              A
In a world crying out for peace
F#m               G
Let your heart be strong
C#m           F#m  E              A
For when I am weak you will carry me
    A E           A
And I  will carry you
D        A        C#m           F#m
 Be your strength, and pull you through
     Bm    E              A
In a world crying out for peace
F#m               G
Let your heart be strong
C#m           F#m  E              A
For when I am weak you will carry me


E                 A
 And I will carry you

E             A
 I will carry you
