Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I b[G]een[C] ke[G]epin'
[C]Jesus [G]at a distance
So afraid to [C]let Him get [G]too close
To the [C]two lives [G]I've been livin'
As if He [Em]couldn't see
them [D]both
Close enough to [C]feel [G]the warmth of the fire
Far enough [C]away for me [G]to hide
But I'm [C]tired of walkin' [G]the wire
Between the [Em]darkness and the [D]light

[Verse 2]
No more [C]Jesus at a dis[G]tance
No more [Em]pushin' You [D]away
I don't wanna [C]settle for
[G]the back road
Of some [Em]Sunday morn[D]in' faith
So, I'm [C]holdin' nothin'
back [G]now
'Cause there' [D]nothin'
You don't [Em]see
No more [C]Jesus at a dis[G]tance
Can change [D]every part of me
[G]Every part of [C]me (oo[G]h, [Em]ooh)[D]

[Verse 3]
I was [C]offered re[G]surrection
But I [C]settled for [G]the grave
I had the [C]chance [G]to walk on water
[Em]But I chose to play [D]it safe
I've been [C]hiding from [G]the Healer
I thought my [C]wounds were [G]out of reach
But at the [C]end of all [G]my runnin'
You're still [Em]runnin' af[D]ter me

[Verse 4]
So, no more [C]Jesus at a dis[G]tance
No more [Em]pushin' [D]You away
I don't wanna [C]settle for [G]the back road
Of [Em]some Sunday morn[D]in' faith
So, I'm [C]holdin' noth[G]in'
back now
'Cause there' [D]nothin'
You don't [Em]see
No more Je[C]sus [G]at a distance
Can change [D]every part of me
[G]Every part of me [C](oo[G]h,[Em][D][C][G]
[Em]ooh,[D] ooh, ooh)

[Verse 5]
All my [Am]dreams and all my
treas[G]ures
(Every part [Em]of me,
every [D]part of me)
When I can [Am]barely hold it
to[G]gether
(Every part [Em]of me, every part [D]of me)
When I can't con[Am]trol
where tomorrow's [G]goin'
(Every part [Em]of me,
every [D]part of me)

[Verse 6]
When the ghost of my [Am]yesterday's
come [G]callin'
(Every part [Em]of me, every [D]part of me)
Who I am when there's [Am]no
one else [G]around
(Every part [Em]of me, every [D]part of me)
When the sun comes [Am]up 'til
the sun goes [G]down
(Every part [Em]of me,
every part [D]of me)

[Verse 7]
So, no more [D]Jesus at a distance
No more pushin' You away
[G]I don't wanna [C]settle for the
[G]back road
[Am]Of some Sunday morn[D]in' faith
So, I'm [C]holdin' [G]noth
in' back now
'Cause there' [D]nothin'
You don't [Em]see
No more Je[C]sus [G]at a distance
Can change [D]every part of me
[G]Every part of me,[C] eve[G]ry part of[Em]
[D]me (ev[C]ery part of [G]me)
Every part [Em]of me[D]

[Verse 8]
So, I'm [C]holdin' nothin'
back [G]now
'Cause there' [D]nothin'
You don't [Em]see
No more Je[C]sus [G]at a distance
Can change [D]every part [G]of me
No more [C]Jesus at a dis[G]tance
Can change [D]every part of me
