Hold You High

	  		This is a great song by a Contemporary Christian/Christian Rock trio that 
hasn't quite hit it big yet. This is meant for one guitar. I can't tell 
what the background guitars are doing. 
But here it is: 4/4. To sound like on the CD put a capo on fret 2 to turn 
it into Key E. Without a capo, it's the key of D. 
It is OK if you don't have a capo.

Verse 1: 
    Em                 D 
I drank from this cup 
         G                         G 
'Til it watered down my soul 
          Em           D          G       G 
I need you so I'll thirst no more 
  Em                      D 
I started down this path 
             G                     G 
Such a long long time ago 
  Em       D         G                G 
I need to find my way home

Verse 2: 
Em                 D 
I'm the king of my desires 
     G                      G 
I've tried them all a thousand times 
Em               D                               G              G 
I have got to choose between this world and you 
     Em           D 
It's got a grip I must admit 
 G                           G 
I can't explain this emptiness 
  Em      D                       G        G 
I hurt without you by my side 
 
(Repeat Chorus)

or advice would greatly be appreciated.
