Bare To The Bone — Carrie Newcomer
Chords and lyrics for Bare To The Bone by Carrie Newcomer (key of F).
Verse 1
Here I [F]am without a [C]message, Here I [G]stand with empty [Am]hands
Just a [F]spirit tired of [C]wandering like a [G]stranger in this [Am]land
Walking [F]wide eyed through this [C]world is the [G]only way I’ve [Am]known
Wrapped in [F]hope and good [G]intentions and Bare to the [Am][C/D]Bone[Am]
Verse 2
There is [F]nothing I won’t [C]show you There is [G]nothing I can [Am]hide
I’ve [F]risked it all and [C]dreamt it all and [G]seldom questioned [Am]why.
You took me [F]in when I was [C]hungry, when my [G]spirit ached and [Am]groaned,
laid wide [F]open and [G]defenseless and Bare to the [Am][C/D]Bone[Am]
Chorus
When I [F]rise I rise in [G]Glory, If I [C]do I [G/B]do by [Am]grace
Time will [F]wash away our [G]footprints, And we’ll [C]leave [G/B]without a [Am]trace
Between [F]here and now and [G]forever, is such [C]precious [G/B]little [Am]time
What we [F]do in love and kindness, is all we’ll [G]ever leave behind
Verse 3
When my [F]eyes are slowly [C]fading and the [G]light is softly [Am]waning
When the [F]evening sun is [C]setting and the [G]world is barely [Am]breathing
[F]Then your voice will [C]call me and your [G]hands will lead me [Am]home
like a [F]newborn awed and [G]naked and Bare to the [Am][C/D]Bone[Am]
Chorus
When I [F]rise I rise in [G]Glory, If I [C]do I [G/B]do by [Am]grace
Time will [F]wash away our [G]footprints, And we’ll [C]leave [G/B]without a [Am]trace
Between [F]here and now and [G]forever, is such [C]precious [G/B]little [Am]time
What we [F]do in love and kindness, is all we’ll [G]ever leave behind
Verse 4
Here I [F]am without a [C]message, Here I [G]stand with empty [Am]hands
Just a [F]spirit tired of [C]wandering like a [G]stranger in this [Am]land
Walking [F]wide eyed through this [C]world is the [G]only way I’ve [Am]known
Wrapped in [F]hope and good [G]intentions and Bare to the [Am][C/D]Bone[Am]
