Pedestal

PEDESTAL BY SHERRI YOUNGWARD transcribed by Jason Henry email: orion7@ptinet.com This song really spoke to my heart; we need to be careful to not let others take God's place in our lives, and if we really love them like we think we do, we need to be willing to let them go in Christ, to love and know them as God would have us to, for only He knows our hearts and our true needs. God bless you all! Chords: Am C2 C9 D Em G C2 is: 5th string 3rd fret, 4th string 2nd fret, 2nd string 3rd fret, and 1st string 3rd fret, C9 is the same except without the 1st string 3rd fret If anyone knows what the real fingerings for C2 and C9 are please e mail them to me, thanks! (Instrumental intro: Em->C9 x3 then G maj->D) Em C9 G D I held you so high on a pedestal Em C9 D when you fell you had a long way to go Em C9 G when you fell how was I to know D Am that I'd fall with you? Em C9 lead in: G D I held you too high (x3) (chorus) G D C2 It's a long way down G D C2 but finally I'm landing on solid ground G D Am and that's what it took for me (VERSE 2) Em C9 D Who was I to think I could own you Em C9 D I'm ashamed to say that I tried Em C9 G If losing you is what it cost to love you D Am well I'll say goodbye Em C9 lead in: G D I held you too high (x3) (repeat chorus) Em C9 G D add:And it hurts me so to let you go Em C9 D But I know I'll be alright Em C9 G D Am cuz only God can hold this place in our lives (Instrumental: play Em C9 G D x3 then Am) EC9 G D How was I to know loving you would mean letting you go?
