The Bigger Picture

	  		
G                                  D/G 
Long before the colors start to bleed 
C9                              D/G 
I can see the painting come alive 
Bm                             C 
Clever like an angel in disguise 
F/C 
Moving in and out of reach 

A#     F/A    E4        B9/C#        C             Am 


G                                                    D/G 
If the candle lights this crooked path 
G                                                    D/G 
Like a lighthouse peering through the haze 
Bm                                           C 
I will find the river through the rain 
F/C 
And I'll reach the water's edge 

A#     F/A    E4        B9/C#        C             Am 


Em        G        Bm        D 
Shed your light on me 
Em      G           D         C 
Be my eyes when I can't see 
Em         G       Bm           D 
Shed your light on me 
Em        G          D         C5+ 
Be my guide so I can see 
                   Em 
The bigger picture 


Em 
Like a moth burned by the fire 
                      C 
And driven to the flame 

(Prophecies' a blessing and a curse) 
Em 
I must bare this cross alone 
                            C 
There's no one else to blame 
Bb 
With each treasure found 
                             F 
Another shipwreck's washed ashore 
C 
I am carried by the current  
                           D 
On a slow and steady course 

C#m                        E 
What if caught in a moment 
            B                 F#m 
I get lost and can't find my way 
C#m                          B 
What if all along I was wrong 
F#m                        E 
In every turn, in every way 

D                                F#m 
Would you talk me off the ledge 
E                       C#m 
Or let me take the fall 
           F#m         E 
Better to try and fail 
                        B 
Then to never try at all 

G 
You look but cannot see 
D/G 
Talk but never speak 
G 
You live, but cannot breathe 
C 
See but don't believe 

G 
Wounds that never heal 
D/G 
A heart that cannot feel 
G 
A dream that's all too real 
C9 
A stare as cold as steel 

G 
I've listened to the stories of resentment and disdain 
Bm 
I've looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame 
Em 
I've taken blood from every stone 
D                                   C 
And traveled every road 

F                                               Bb 
When I see the distant lights illuminate the night 
F/A           Eb  Am     G 
Then I will know I am home
