CAPO 4 FOR ACOUSTIC!!

This is track 4 off of Matthew West's CD, "Happy."  It sounds best with an arrangement
of electric guitars, but a single acoustic at capo 4 sounds just fine for a worship
service.  Here is the complete chord sheet for the song...

INTRO:  G-C (3X) A
REPEAT INTRO

VERSE1:
G                 C               G-C
   This world is makin' me dizzy -
G                   C                   G-C
   I can't seem to keep it from spinning
G                  C              G   C
   This life is screamin' so loud now,
G                 C                   G
   And I can't escape from this crowd now -
                Em                   D
It's like I'm climbin' up on the shoulders
                      C
In a room full of strangers,
         C(hold)
And then everybody walks away...

CHORUS:
G          C                  G
Fly high - jump and touch the sky high -
C                G
Bring me back to life -
  C                      A
I know You're there when I Can't Hear You...
G         C               G
Down now, at the speed of sound now -
C                G
When I touch the ground now,
C                    A
You'll be there when I Can't Hear You...

REPEAT INTRO

VERSE2:
G(palm mute)                  G(strum)-C
I am a classic case of dysfunction -
G                    C                  G-C
I talk and talk, and still I say nothin'
G                  C       G    C
Am I the voice of my generation?
   G                     C          G    C
Is everyone havin' the same conversation?
          Em                     D
We're all climbin' up on the shoulders
                      C
In a room full of strangers
        C(hold)
When we should be reachin' for You...

REPEAT CHORUS

CHANNEL:
       G                         C
Do you ever get the feelin' that you're not alone,
     D                      C
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
       G                         C
Do you ever get the feelin' that you're not alone,
     D                      C
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
       G                         C
Do you ever get the feelin' that you're not alone,
     D                      C
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
       G             C             G
Do you ever - do you ever - do you ever...
C           Em                   D
We're all climbin' up on the shoulders
                      C
In a room full of strangers -
          C(hold)
We're all reachin'...

Fly high...

Sky high...

Life, I...
