Ive Been Here Before

Sara Groves

key:

F/A       G/B     C
I’ve been here before
F/A            Am
Staring at a blank page
G/B             C
Waiting for a touch
F               Am          G/B      C/E
Chasing down a muse that don’t like me much


[Verse 2]
F/A          G/B    C
I’ve been here before
F/A                  Am      G/B     C
Stretched out like a man under desert skies
F                Am          G/B    C/E
Waiting for the rain with a thirst inside


[Chorus]
F             F/A    C/E
Oh, I’ve been here before
F             F/A          C
And I’ll tell you what I’ve seen
C     F/A     C/E         G/B    Am
The hand of grace reaches down to me
F/A       C        G/B       Am
A voice inside says I can be free


[Verse 3]
F/A        G/B    C
I’ve been here before
F/A              Am         G/B        C
Wrapped up in a blanket trying to face the day
F             Am          G/B    C/E
Looking for a reason and a better way


[Verse 4]
F/A        G/B    C
I’ve been here before
F/A            Am
Shaking in my anger
G/B            C
Smoking like a gun
F                 Am       G/B          C/E
Wonderin’ why I can’t do better than I’ve done

[Chorus]
F             F/A    C/E
Oh, I’ve been here before
F             F/A          C
And I’ll tell you what I’ve seen
C     F/A     C/E         G/B    Am
The hand of grace reaches down to me
F/A       C        G/B       Am
A voice inside says I can be free

[Verse 5]
F/A        G/B    C
I’ve been here before
F/A           Am       G/B           C
Quiet in a pasture, honey on my tongue
F/A         Am    G
Resting by still waters


[Verse 6]
F/A        G/B   C
I’ve been here before
F/A             Am         G/B  C
Feasting at a table in a barren land
F/A             Am          G/B      C
Sayin’ I’ll never doubt never doubt again
F/A             Am          G/B      C/E
Sayin’ I’ll never doubt never doubt again

[Final Chorus]
F             F/A    C/E
Oh, I’ve been here before
F             F/A    C/E
Oh, I've been here before
F             F/A    C/E
Oh, I've been here before
F             F/A    C/E
Oh, I've been here before
C     F/A     C/E         G/B    Am
The hand of grace reaches down to me
F/A       C        G/B       Am
A voice inside says I can be free

[Outro]
F         C           G/B      Am
A voice inside says I will be free
