[Intro]
B  G#m  Ebm  E

[Verse 1]
           B
There's a million things
     G#m
That I don't understand
               Ebm
I'm just being honest, God
        E
Was it all part of Your plan
                     B
You know I wouldn't change a thing
      G#m
Even though I hate the memory
               Ebm
You gave me a burden that
     E
You said You'd help me carry

[Refrain]
               B
I know You're working all
               G#m
things for my good
        Ebm                E
In the way that only You could

[Chorus]
          E
Maybe the why just don't matter
              B
What if it's not for me to know
           F#
Maybe the point is just to trust You
          G#m
Find the faith to let it go
                 E
Cause sometimes falling
feels like flying
         B     F#    E
It's the only way I know
