[Verse]
G      D/F#          Em   C
  Even when I was a sinner
G          D/F#               Em  C
  You said that I’d be a saint
G           D/F#                Em   C
  So, I’m going to down to the river
          N.C.
Cause the way that the sky

opens up when we touch,
           Am7       D/F#
Yeah, it's making me say

                 G                 D/F#                     Em  C
That the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
               G           D/F#          Em  C
It’s always so holy, holy, holy, holy, holy

Oh God

Em       C
Feels so holy


[Verse]
G         D/F#             Em   C
  I don't do well with the drama
G          D/F#                   Em        C
  And no I can't stand it being fake  (no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no)
G         D/F#          Em   C
  I don’t believe in nirvana
        N.C.
But the way that your love, and your light gives me life
        D7sus2       D/F#
Yeah, I just want to praise

                 G                 D/F#                     Em  C
That the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
               G           D/F#          Em   C
It’s always so holy, holy, holy, holy, holy

Oh God
