Intro Chords: E B A x2
Verse 1:
[C#m]I've worked for so l[A]ong
[E]With the weakest of hands
On the c[B]oldest of shores.[C#m]
The wind and the r[A]ain
[E]Fill me with doubt,
But you've n[B]ever been wrong before.
Tag 1 (acoustic):
G#m A *(optional)
I prayed for the sun,
[F#m]Some guidance, some truth,
B*
Some glimpse of the things to come.
[G#m]With only your s[A]ong,
D*
Your love made me strong
When [E/D#]all hope was gone.
Tag (electric) *palm mute*
[G#m] [A] [F#m] [B]

Chorus: (for electric, use power chords. These are the bottom three notes of every
chord. For example an E power chord would be xxx220. Easy peasy.)
[E]All through the night I was [B]fall[A]in',
[E]Straining to hear Your voice [B]call[A]in'.
[C#m]You never gave out,
[G#m]You never gave in,
[A]You never quite g[E]ave up on [A]me.
[B]You are my constant.
Intro Chords stay the same.
Same as the Intro Riff, but it throws in one extra note that carries into the second
a little longer.

Verse 2:
We always want time
To hoard up our treasures
And bury our dead.
It's true what he said.
Foxes have holes,
But the king has no place for his head.
Tag 2:
I pray for relief,
But relief doesn't come,
Just the will to press on.
With only Your song,
Your love makes me strong
When all hope is gone.
Chorus
Bridge:
[C]All through the night,
[D]Your love is faithful to [E]me.
[C]All through the night,
[D]Your love is right here with [E]me.
[C]All through the night,
[D]Your love is holding [E]me.
Chorus (begins with just acoustic and then the electric comes in with muted power chords)
All through the night I was fallin',
Straining to see your light shinin'.
You never gave out,
You never gave in,
You never quite gave up on me.
You are my constant. (this phrase x4)
Outro: (chords are the same as intro)
