Footprints

G D Em C

[Verse]
G                 D
Oh, it's amazing, flipping these pages
       Em                         C
What's happened through all these years
G                     D
Down in the basement, looking through the ages
Em              C
I can see it so clear

                 Am
Things from this old house
       C
Really mean something now

[Chorus]
          G
Like that poem that I used to hear
D
Hanging round everywhere
  Em
I used to write it off
       C
Just a picture on the wall
    G
But now that I've lived some life
D
Been through some bitter times
Em            C
I can understand
     Am         C
That one set of footprints in the sand

G D Am C

[Verse]
          G
Oh, those lonely roads that I walked
D
Sleepless nights that I thought
Em          C
I was on my own
          G
But those footprints behind me
D
They tell the story
    Em             C
You carried me all along

                   Am
Things aren't what they seem
                  C
Sometimes there's more than what we see

[Chorus]
          G
Like that poem that I used to hear
D
Hanging round everywhere
  Em
I used to write it off
       C
Just a picture on the wall
    G
But now that I've lived some life
D
Been through some bitter times
Em           C
I can understand
     Am         C
That one set of footprints in the sand

G D    Am     C
    Ooh, yeah

[Bridge]
    Am
And when I stop to look back
C
I can see your faithfulness
G                               D
Written in the prints that you leave
Am
You are more than here with me
C
Oh, Lord, you carry me
G                            D
You are my strength when I'm weak

             Am
I see what's ahead of me
     C      D
When I look back

[Chorus]
        G
At that poem that I used to hear
D
I saw it everywhere
  Em
I used to write it off
         C
Now it's hanging on my wall
  G
I still have some life to live
D
One thing, I'm sure of it
       Em                C
You'll be with me to the end
               Am         C                      G
And I see that one set of your footprints again

[Outro]
            D            Em         C           G
You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
            D            Em         C           G
You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
            D            Em         C           G
You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
            D            Em         C           G
You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
