G                             D 
Things aren't exactly what I thought they would be 
G                     D 
I won't pretend, disappointments never free 
G                 D                   G        D 
The sky's on fire...  feels like the sky's on fire 

G                         D 
  I may be young but I'm feeling old 
         Em7                        D 
Like somebody borrowed years and I found out they got sold 
    G*            D                Em7        D 
But I still love You, although my sky's on fire

      To the Author of life... be the Author of my life 
Cadd9        D                   Em7     D          G      D 
      To the Author do you hear me   sing? Hear me sing! 

verse 2: 
  G          D             G                   D 
Swallow my pride, let go inside, show me Your way, refine me 
G                 D              Em7      D 
And I still love You although my sky's on fire 

Chorus: 
Cadd9        D           Em7          D 
      To the Author of life... be the Author of my life 
Cadd9        D                     Em7    D  
      To the Author do you hear me...  sing?  

Bridge: 
 G  C                D 
 I  see You've-been hanging in there 
 G                       C      D 
 Looking back I've been running e-ve-ry-where 
      G       C           D 
 I've done it my way for far too long 
         G            D      Em7   
 Like I promised You years before 
        G     D      Em7       C                     D 
 I say all I have is Yours... All I have is Yours... 

Chorus: 
Cadd9       D         Em7       D 
      To the Author of life... be the Author of my life 
Cadd9        D                   Em7     D  
      To the Author do you hear me... sing? 
Cadd9       D         Em7       D 
      To the Author of life... be the Author of my life 
Cadd9        D                   Em7     D          G      D 
      To the Author do you hear me... sing? Hear me sing!   Ohh 

  G          D             Em7                 D 
Swallow my pride, let go inside, show me Your way, refine me
