half•alive - TrusT

[Intro]
C#m G#m A F#

[Verse 1]
C#m G#m
Trust is like a pond of murky water
A F#
Too dark to see, mysteriously undercover
C#m G#m
I can’t jump off the high dive even though I really want to
A F#
My toes are hanging off the ledge
C#7 G#7
Trust is a tree that towers 50 feet above us
F#7
Grown over time through many seasons
C#m7
Believing in something more than just the surface
G#m
I trust that this is worth it
A F#m
But my toes are hanging off the ledge

[Pre-Chorus]
A
Lord, help me, there’s a thorn in my side
G#m7
I feel the tension in the fear and truth
A
I carry life in between the divide
G#m7
But all the wrestling has left me bruised
A G#m7
How sweet, the taste of certainty
A G#m7
The gift You gave is safe with me

[Chorus]
C#m A F#m
Hold to this, significance
E
And lean into the process
C#m A F#m
Rest and know, the love You hold
E
It won’t be taken back, no
C#m B F#m
How sweet, the taste of certainty
C#m B F#m
The gift You gave is safe with me
G#7
Na, na, na, na, na

[Instrumental]
C#m G#m A F#

[Verse 2]
C#m G#m
Trust is like the middle of the ocean
A F#
Can’t see the bottom but I’m floatin’ here, supported
C#m G#m
I know that it can take me even deeper if I let it, but
A F#
My limbs are trying to swim away
A
It’s like a tree that towers 50 feet above us
G#m7 G#m
Grown over time through many seasons
A
Believing in something more than just the surface

I trust that this is worth it
G#m F#m
But my toes are hanging off the ledge

[Chorus]
C#m A F#m
Hold to this, significance
E
And lean into the process
C#m A F#m
Rest and know, the love You hold
E
It won’t be taken back, no
C#m B F#
How sweet, the taste of certainty

(Releasing hope to carry me)
C#m F#
How sweet, the taste, never let it go, no
G#7
(Na, na, na, na, na)

[Bridge]
C# C#m C#
I see the walls that are torn and bent
F# F#m
The tug of war in the now, not yet
C#m F#
Holding back what they can’t contain
F#m
Can you tell me why I feel this way
C#m F#
I have faith that the world I’m in
F#m
Will be redeemed to its place again
C#m F#
But there’s a weight that I can’t explain
N.C.
So tell me why I feel this way

[Outro]
C#m E F# F#m
Tell me why I feel this way
C#m E F# A
Tell me why I feel this way
A
(Moving deeper in a place of rest)

(Seeking victory inside a death)
C#m E F# F#m
Tell me why I feel this way
F#m
(Speaking slowly when I’m out of breath)

(Losing confidence between the steps)
C#m E F# A
Tell me why I feel this way

(Finding center when I’m breaking left)
C#m E F#
How sweet, the taste of certainty
A
(Wasting water in a desert bed)

(Chasing wind outside the promised land)
C#m E F#
Releasing hope to carry me
A
(Know the story isn’t over yet)
N.C.
Na, na, na, na, na
