CAPO V [Intro] Am G F Am [Verse 1]
  Am
Above the plains of Omaha

  G                             C      E
I think of all the sufferin' I saw

      F             C
The soakin' of the pavement

  G                             F
Sprawled upon a land without a law

G                    Am            Em                F
Everythin' I loved, everythin' I found what I hoped for

                   C
Frightened and surrounded

    G                             F
Who else is there to turn to anymore?
[Chorus]
F                 C
Oh I held out my heart

      F           C
Oh I held out my heart

F              Am   G   F
Held out my heart

       C        G
Oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
       Am
There was a time I spoke the truth

        G                                C           E
But my younger years were wasted on my youth

F             C
Somewhere I awakened

         G                         F
With a crack to a poundin' on the roof

 G
Sure I heard the sound

   Am            Em            F
As evidence, or better yet as proof

                    C         G
I was naked as the day I was born

                            F
'Neath the fullness of the moon
[Chorus]
F                 C
Oh I held out my heart

      F           C
Oh I held out my heart

F              Am   G   F
Held out my heart

       C        G
Oh oh oh
[Bridge]
Em   F           Am        G
Far away I hear singin'

Em     F      Am      Em
Far away a song
[Solo] F Am G F Am Am G F F Am Em F Am [Verse 3]
     Am
The blinding light of morning came

    G                                 C      E
Flooding through the window like a friend

        F        C
Like a wild revelation

          G                     F
Like a shining invitation to attend

 G
Spoken as a prayer

   Am           Em            F
Unbroken by despair I make amends

     F               C
The love inside our hearts

       G                              F
Is the only kind of savior we've been sent
[Chorus]
F                 C
Oh I held out my heart

      F           C
Oh I held out my heart

F              Am   G   F
Held out my heart

       C        G    Am    G   Am
Oh oh oh
