You Invite Me In
Meredith Andrews
Tuning: Standard
Time: 6/8
Intro: (4 bars with half-bar drum lead-in: D/F# G Asus4 D/F# G A)
[Verse 1:]
I’ve been search – ing
Wandering and hurt - ing
Ashamed of the shape I’m in
G A Dm7/F# G (Extra 1½ measures – G)
Afraid you’ll see who I really am
[Chorus 1:]
But you invite me in
Doesn’t matter where I’ve been
Your arms are op - en wide
Em D/F# G (Extra Measure - G)
There’s nothing left to hide
[Verse 2:]
How can this be
A love so unfail - ing
Reached down and lifted me
G A Dm7/F# G (Extra 1½ measures – G)
From ashes to beau - ty
[Chorus 2:]
And you invite me in
Doesn’t matter where I’ve been
Your arms are op - en wide
There’s nothing left to hide
You invite me in
Doesn’t matter who I’ve been
Your arms are op - en wide
Em D G (Extra measure – G)
Holding me to your side
[Bridge:]
Now I am walking away from the life I once knew
And running into your grace
It covers my shame again and again
A G (Extra Measure – G)
I find my life in you
(Chorus 2 – me->us, I->we, Piano only on first line)
[Outtro:]
Your arms are open wide
(A)
