[INTRO]
Ab  Bbm  Fm  Db

[VERSE 1]
                Ab
I don’t want to write this song
                  Bbm
I don’t want this pain to be my story 
                  Fm
I don’t want this desert road
                         Db
Are you sure this is the plan that you have for me
                Ab
Out here in the dust and clay
    Bbm
God if there’s a bigger picture
                     Fm 
It’s getting hard to see today 
      Db
But I know that you won’t leave me here

[CHORUS]
Ab                            Bbm                            Fm
   I don’t know where this is going, but I know who holds my hand
                               Db                                 Ab
It’s not the path I would have chosen, but I’ll follow you to the end
                     Bbm                              Fm
Lord as long as I am breathing I will make your glory known
                     Db
Even if it means I’m walking

[TAG]
               Ab                                     Bbm
On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)
               Fm                                     Db
On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)

[VERSE 2]
             Ab
You got my attention now
                Bbm
I was doing the talking but now I’m listening 
                 Fm
This is where my hope is found
                Db 
Knowing life is hard but you’re still with me
                 Ab
I’m not out here on my own
        Bbm
You are close to the broken hearted
                     Fm
Cause you’ve already walked this road
                    Db
And you’re going to finish what you started 

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Ab                                 Bbm
   Where you lead me I will follow,    as you lift my head I see
Fm                                 Db
   Where you lead me I will follow,    so many desperate souls in need
Ab
   Where you lead me I will follow
Bbm                                     Fm
   I’ll walk with them as you walk with me
                         Db
Where you lead me I will follow
You’re the living water to the thirsty 

[CHORUS]

               Ab                                     Bbm
On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)
               Fm                                     Db
On this desert road (where you lead me I will follow)
                           A                                      Bbm
So many desperate souls in need (where you lead me I will follow)
                                     Fm
I’ll walk with them as you walk with me
                                Db    Ab    Bbm    Fm    Db 
Where you lead me I will follow
