[Verse]
F              C/G        Am 
You started to cry in the back 
                  G
of the car that I was driving
F              C/G        Am   
Tears in your eyes as the birds 
                G
flew over the comeragh mountains
F                         
Sat with you upon a wall as 
    C/G               Am     G
a rain come tearing down
F                        
For a second I could feel 
     C/G           Am      G
our world turning round

[Chorus]
            F C/G       
You make me Holy a saint 
         Am    G
I′m not sure
            F C/G        
God said he knows me Then 
                      Am    G
whys the devil at my door
                F C/G  
whenever I get seasick 
                 Am    G
on the ocean of love
            F C/G
You make me Holy
            Am
You make me pure

[Verse]
F              C/G     Am      
Id pull up a chair. We talk of 
                 G
dreams until the early morning
F                 C/G       
And if I raise my voice. I'm
 Am             G

You make all the leaves in the
   C/G                    Am     G
 forest bow down at your feet
F                             
For what it's wor[Chorus]
