The Distance Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][G][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
Broken up on [F]a
road that felt like freedom
A [C]rebel headed any[G]where
but [Em]home[Am]
Adam's fall re[F]peated in a moment
[C]Kept it at the edge of Eden's [G]door

[Verse 2]
In the [Dm]com pany of the ang[F]els
Reaching [Am]from a beautiful [G]world
You could've waited
[F]

[Verse 3]
But You couldn't [C]stand,
couldn't stand the distance
You wouldn't [G]bare the silence anymore
Love broke [Em]the f[Am]all,
bridged across to reach us
You [F]opened Heaven's door
'Cause You couldn't stand
the dis[C]tance
[Em]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Close enough to [F]see the love I needed
A [C]seeker looking for the way
back [Em]home[Am]
Underneath the [F]weight of what I wasted
While [C]mercy stood looking down on [G]hope

[Verse 5]
Then You [Dm]ran to where
I was wait[F]ing
And Your [Am]love crossed the
canyon [G]between us
You came [Em]to save [F]me

[Verse 6]
'Cause You couldn't [C]stand,
couldn't stand the distance
You wouldn't [G]bare the silence anymore
Love broke [Em]the f[Am]all,
bridged across to reach us
You [F]opened Heaven's door

[Verse 7]
So [Dm]close to Your mercy, yet [F]so far away
You [Am]ran to me, You r[C]an to me
Forgive[Dm]ness embrace me,
[F]call me by name
Halle[G]lujah, halle[F]lujah, [C]hallelujah

[Verse 8]
You wouldn't [Em]bare the silence anymore
Love broke the [Am]fall,
bridged across to reach us
You [F]opened Heaven's door

[Verse 9]
You couldn't [C]stand,
couldn't stand the distance
You would[Am]n't b[G]are
the silence anymore
Love broke [C]the [Am]fall,
bridged across to reach us
[C]You [F]opened Heaven's door
'Cause You couldn't stand
the [Am]distance[F]
You couldn't stand [Am]the distance
