The Other Side Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I s[C]too[G]d[C]
[G]on the edge of 8 years old
On a [C]mountain top in Minnesota
[G]Behind my old grade sch[C]ool
[G]We'd steady our nerve
and take a breath
Throw[C]ing ourselves to certain death
But the [G]kings of the hill must
fight to keep their [C]rule

[Verse 2]
I went [Em]back there a couple [D]years ago
That [G]mountain was twenty feet [C]tall

[Verse 3]
[C]Skip to the scene where I was sixteen
[G]Taking my turn on the tilt- a- whirl
[C]Holding the hand of a brown eyed [G]girl
I thought would be the [C]one
When [Em]the ride got rough
we were torn apart
The spin[C]ning stopped like a broken [G]heart
I blinked and she [C]was gone

[Verse 4]
I felt [Em]shipwrecked at the
[D]edge of the world
[G]But love came and found me again
[C]

[Verse 5]
On [Am]the other side,
where it's [G]easier [D]to see the way
[Dsus4]His hand [Am]provides just[G]
in time to [D]save the day
[Am]And I realize the [G]mountains I was
[Dsus4]scared to[F] climb
Aren't as big as I thought they [C]were
When I'm on the other side
[G][C]

[Verse 6]
[G]
[C]Skip to the scene where I'm
on my knees
[G]Holding on 'til the morning light
[C]Trying to trust when the money's [G]tight
In a hope I can't [C]explain
[Em]
Crossword puzzles in the waiting room
[C]Praying for an answer [G]soon
To fill in all [C]the blanks

[Verse 7]
But I've [Em]been here many [D]times before
And [G]love's always carried me [C]through

[Verse 8]
To [Am]the other side,
where it's [G]easier [D]to see the way
[Dsus4]His hand [Am]provides just[G]
in time to [D]save the day
[Dsus4]And I rea[Am]lize the mountains[G]
I was [Dsus4]scared to[F] climb
Aren't as big as I thought they [C]were
When I'm on the other side
[G][C]

[Verse 9]
[Em]How many times am I [D]destined to prove
I can't [G]do this all on my [C]own
But there is [Em]freedom in failing
and [D]finding his mercy
And [G]standing in front of his [C]throne
I'm not as big as I thought I was

[Verse 10]
[C]So I [Am]won't be afraid
No mat[G]ter what the [D]trouble
[G]is [Am]I see today
The [G]maker of the mountains,
[Am]He will make a way
[F]To lead me through the darkness
to [Am]the other side

[Verse 11]
Where it's [G]easier [D]to see [Dsus4]the way
[Am]His hand provides [G]just in
time to [D]save the day
[Am]And I realize the [G]mountains I was
[Dsus4]scared to[F] climb
Aren't as big as I thought they [C]were
When I'm on the other [G]side[C]
When I'm on the other side
[G][C]

[Verse 12]
[G]Every chapter that we've been through
Has [C]taught me to rely [G]on you
Jesus teach me that again
