intro: G 
 
Verse 1 
G 
This is not what I asked 
           Em 
Not what I prayed for 
                   G 
Are you listening now? 
 
'Cause all that I've built, 
              Em 
All that I've bled for 
             G 
Is coming undone 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                                D 
But what if it had to be broken 
                                      
Before my heart could be open? 
 
Chorus 
G 
Maybe the shattered parts 
Em 
Are the places where Your love starts 
    C         G                  C 
And now I am closer to where You are 
           D                  G 
With every beat of my broken heart 
 
Oh, oh 
 
Verse 2 
G 
Maybe it's not 
                 Em 
what i would've chosen 
                  G 
And I won't understand 
 
But I'm trusting You now 
                  Em 
Cause all that I know is 
                   G 
I am safe in Your hands 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                               D 
But what if it had to be broken 
 
Before my heart could be open? 
 
Chorus 
G 
Maybe the shattered parts 
Em 
Are the places where Your love starts 
    C         G                  C 
And now I am closer to where You are 
           D                  G 
With every beat of my broken heart 
G 
Mercy is here with me 
Em 
Even if I can't see it 
C         G                   C 
Now I am closer to where You are 
           D                  Am (G on end) 
With every beat of my broken heart 
 
Bridge 
Am           C         G 
So break me all the way 
G                    D   Am 
'Til we are face to face 
Am         C             G 
When Your work in me is through 
     D                     G 
And all that's left is You 
 
Chorus  (quiet until "now," then build) 
 
G 
Oh, oh, oh 
Em        C 
Oh, oh, oh 
 
C      G                  C 
I am closer to where You are 
            D 
With every beat of my broken 
                   G 
Beat of my broken heart    (fade out)
