You told me I was the only thing
that mattered to You at all,
And I said "Ha, ha, ha, ha, You're real funny.
I don't even like myself that much."
Then You showed me Your truth,
And the perfection hidden in Your touch
And I stopped laughing, but couldn't stop smiling.
Chorus:
I'm wide awake for the first time, in my
whole life.
I'm ready to face all this stuff, face to face
Finally I'm wide awake.
I told You from moment one
That I'd mess this whole thing up and
Boy, boy, boy did I call it.
I was certain You'd give up on me.
But Your mercies are new,
Every morning, every minute, every day
And I stopped laughing, but I couldn't stop
smiling

The chords on the chorus are open Dave Matthews style chords. If you listen to the CD, it should make sense when to accent which chords. Good luck with the music. Peace. Simone
