C#m-hG#-hA C#m-hG#-hA B A   (tap tap)
           the only   thing

C#m-hG#-hA (x2)
[0:20]
I've tried a dozen times, failed every one
to make my mark on my maker
I've walked a dozen roads, some are wide, and one is narrow;
still a grain from my shaker

[0:36]
F#m             A                  E           B
Nothing more is there to life than you (its so simple)

[0:45]
(Chorus1:)
    C#m          B             A            E
The only thing I did not do is die upon the cross
    C#m          B             A            C#m-hG#-hA
The only thing I need to do is seek my only savior

C#m-hG#-hA
[1:07]
Not enough I stand aside and let you 
Make your mark on who it is you're making
Can the leaf say to the tree
Hold me savior I'm shaking (I'm shaking)

[1:26]
The only thing that I can do is kneel before my maker
The only thing I want to do is love my only savior

[1:43]
The only thing that I still know is the grace of my maker
The only thing that I must do is love my only savior

[2:00]
(modulate up)
The only thing that I still know is the grace of my maker
The only thing that I will do is love my only savior
(modulate down)

[2:16]
The only thing (4x)
[2:45]
