[Verse 1]

G                           C                D
Wake up sixty minutes after my head hits the pillow

                      G C D
I can't live like this

G
And in the shower I am a sailor

C                   D                       G C D
Standing waiting, ready for the ship to list

Em
Everything looks burned up

          G
I'm too scared to look around

       C
Don't feel like going on but

           D
Come on, make a joyful sound
[Chorus]
        G                     C
If you will believe in your heart

      Em                G
And confess with your lips

            C        D         G
Surely you will be saved one day
[Verse 2]
G                            C
Try to think of ways to fix myself

        D                       G C D
But everything ends in a cul-de-sac

G
The beast broke from the barn while we were

C                 D                          G C D
Sleeping, face it, face it, he's not coming back

Em
Don't see what the point is

    G
In even trying to fight

      C
Look for the bigger picture

          D
When I close my eyes real tight
[Chorus]
        G                     C
If you will believe in your heart

      Em                G
And confess with your lips

            C        D         G
Surely you will be saved one day
[Bridge]
Bm                   Em
Look for the sign of Daniel

F             Em
Consider the clues

C                  G
Wait as long as I have to

          D
For good news
[Verse 3]
G
Wake and rise and face the day

     C               D                        G C D
And try to stop the day from staring back at me

G
Busy hours for joyful hearts

     C            D                     G C D
And later maybe head out to the pharmacy

Em
Won't take the medication

          G
But it's good to have around

   C
A kind and loving god

               D
Won't let my small ship run aground
[Chorus]
        G                     C
If you will believe in your heart

      Em                G
And confess with your lips

            C        D         G
Surely you will be saved one day
