The Promise Is The Same

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
C
They might say I'm a sinner, if I don’t sing "hallelujah"
Am
That I'll be forgotten if every song I sing's not to You
F
But I find peace and holy ground in a little farmhouse in a no-name town
         Am                   Gsus4
Where we say our prayers each night
 
[Verse 2]
C
Maybe I’m a dreamer, I still get high on hoping
Am
I might close my eyes sometimes, but I keep my hands wide open
F
I question every word I choose, but the answers all come back to You
         Am               Gsus4
I'm just trying to get it right
 
[Chorus]
F                                        C
If I got asked to preach on Sunday, what would my sermon be?
F                                         C             G
That You're not out of hearing and You'rе tired of "I'm sorry"
Am                 G                   F
Forgive me for thе countless ways I've tried to climb to grace
Dm                           C/E F                             C
I'm singing it all different now, but the promise is the same
 
[Verse 3]
C
After all, I'm human, just skin and bones and pain
Am
Still praying for a melody, play out on these six strings
F
I wonder if I’m good enough and if I’ll ever measure up
        Am               Gsus4
But I'm trying to get it right
 
[Chorus]
F                                        C
If I got asked to preach on Sunday, what would my sermon be?
F                                         C             G
That You're not out of hearing and You'rе tired of "I'm sorry"
Am                 G                   F
Forgive me for thе countless ways I've tried to climb to grace
Dm                           C/E F                             Am F
I'm singing it all different now, but the promise is the same
                         Am    G
Yeah, the promise is the same
 
[Bridge]
         Dm
And it's right there in my children's eyes
    C/E                            F
The truth my wandering, tried like hell to hide
 
[Chorus]
F                                        C
If I got asked to preach on Sunday, what would my sermon be?
F                                         C             G
That You're not out of hearing and You'rе tired of "I'm sorry"
Am                 G                   F
Forgive me for thе countless ways I've tried to climb to grace
Dm                           C/E F
I'm singing it all different now, but the promise is the same
Dm                         C/E F
I pray they understand somehow
C
That the promise is the same
Am
Yeah, the promise is the same
F                              C
Yeah, the promise is the same
