Footprints

	  		
Intro 
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 

          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 

          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 

        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
