[Intro]

[Verse]
         Am                C
In the beginning there was nothing
   G            D
So empty in the space between
        Am                  C
And you came in, turned the lights on
       G            D
And created what is come to be
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Am           C      G     D
Before I pluck your wings, cover me
      Am9          C      G     D    Fadd9
Please spread your wings, cover me and
 
 
[Chorus]
   C         G          Am9          F
Promise this if I die before I wake up
   C          G                Am9
Promise this, take the time to say your grace
F       C            G        Am9
On your knees you'll pray for me
F  C          G              Am9            Am  N.C.
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

[Verse]
           Am9                 C
Though I'm walking through the shadows
         G               D
You were with me and you comfort me
       Am9                C
Lay me down now, time for sleeping
      G                    D
But before that, would you raise on me?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Am9          C      G     D
Before I pluck your wings, cover me
      Am9          C      G     D    Fadd9
Please spread your wings, cover me and
 
 
[Chorus]
   C         G          Am9          F
Promise this if I die before I wake up
   C          G                Am9
Promise this, take the time to say your grace
F       C            G        Am9
On your knees you'll pray for me
F  C          G              Am9
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips
 
 
[Bridge]
F     G                    Am9
 By a thread we're hanging on
      C                  F
And I hope you don't let go
       G             Am9
If you ever leave me known
                    N.C.
I wanna go with you
 
 
[Chorus]
F     C       G          Am9          F
 Promise this if I die before I wake up
     C        G                Am9
Promise this, take the time to say your grace
F       C            G        Am9
On your knees you'll pray for me
F  C          G              Am9
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips
