The Detour (Live)

Intro:
A  D  A  D

Verse:  
A
Don't let my heart grow cold 
              D
or despise the wait
  D                                                A
This is not unkindness, this is not disgrace
A                                               D
I am not passed over in my suffering
            D
You hold my broken heart 
                     A
and my broken dreams

Pre-Chorus:  
             E                              F#m    
Your love has held me warmly 
                          D
through the night
                        E                         F#m
And I have seen Your faithfulness 
                          D
with my own eyes

Chorus:  
                          E                          F#m
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
              D
I will dare to believe 
                      A                      E/G#
when the way is long and slow
                     E
And I am full of doubt 
                        F#m
but You are kind and close
              Hm  A/C#   D       
I will trust         
                                 A      D
the detour is the road

Verse 2:  
 A                                                 D
I will not pretend that it comes easily
        D
To follow when I'm sure
                            A
I know what's best for me
     A                                               D
I've got lots of questions but I know the truth
            D                                      A
That I have never lived a day apart from You

Pre-Chorus: 2
               E                        F#m          D
And somehow every unexpected climb
                          E                       
Makes Your goodness that much 
    F#m           D
harder to deny

Chorus:  
                          E                          F#m
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
              D
I will dare to believe 
                      A                      E/G#
when the way is long and slow
                     E
And I am full of doubt 
                        F#m
but You are kind and close
              Hm  A/C#   D       
I will trust         
                                 A      D
the detour is the road

Bridge:  
            E
This time will not be wasted
                   F#m
All the sorrow I have tasted
                    D                                        A   E/G#
You sing hope across the valley of my tears
                       E
Sometimes love looks like delay
                  F#m
But You walk me through the wait
                     D                                 A
And I am learning laughter even here
                   Hm  A/C#  D
You are with me here

Chorus:  
                          E                          F#m
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
              D
I will dare to believe 
                      A                      E/G#
when the way is long and slow
                          E                          F#m
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
              D
I will dare to believe 
                      A                      E/G#
when the way is long and slow
                     E
And I am full of doubt 
                        F#m
but You are kind and close
                    Hm  A/C#   D  
And I will trust  
                   Hm  A/C#   D  
Oh, I will trust 
                                   D   A   D
The detour is the road

Outro:  
                                 A     D
The detour is the road
                                 A     D
The detour is the road
                                 A     D    A
The detour is the road
