The New Country

Verse 1
B			   A	
I’ve lived my life in the old country
       E/G#
Though not finding peace
   C#m
My roots have grown deep
B			  A
I’ve lived my life in the old country
    E/G#
Its joys and its pain
      C#m
Don’t want me to leave

Verse 2
B			   A
The place I have lived is not what it seems
     E/G#
The praises of man
     C#m
Have put me to sleep
B		       A
I want to know how it feels to be free
        E/G#
I’m not good at goodbyes
   C#m
But I have to leave


Pre-Chorus
  B
Invited unto death
      A
Till all that I have left
   G#m
Is everything I need
   Em/G
And I begin to breathe

Chorus
        B	    A
In the new country
       G#m	   Em/G
In the new country

Verse 3
B			 A
I want to live in this sacred space
    E/G#
Be present each moment
       C#m
Each breath that I take
B 		     A
I want a love with nothing to gain
      E/G#
I’ve heard my beloved
 C#m
Calling my name

Bridge
   G		   A          E
So I will let go and take another step
  G	       A		         B
Crossing the borderline - Till I find what’s next
