1 Verse:
      Em                           D/F#
Your word in the desert
            G
Nailed down to the letter
 D                                              C
I still think You're asking too much

            Em                           D/F#

That flame is in clear view

So why do I try?

But there's gotta be someone else You can find

Pardon me

Can it give, just a little?

Honestly

Can You meet me in the middle?

I'm scared that You know me

Got holy ground heels in the dirt

My heart's a wild mess and

This calling's more than I deserve

Round and around and around we go

Faith's walking blind, but I wish I could know

This back and forth where you pull, I push

Can't lay it down though I know that I should

Em                              D/F#           G               G/H
This back and forth where you pull, I push

Can't take the heat so I beat 'round this Burning
