The New Country
By: Amanda Lindsey Cook
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
