Verse 1
B 
When my whole world re
G#m7 
volved a
F#sus 
round You like a planet
E 
And I would trust You with my
E 
life like You had planned it
B 
And when I’d worship,
G#m7 
I’d unearth it
 
I
B/D# 
swear I could stay there for
E 
hours
 
When losing myself was the
F#sus 
art
 
Chorus 1
 
Now I’m just tryna get back to the
B 
heart of it
 
Leave behind the
G#m7 
madness and the
F#sus 
additives
 
And find that kid who sang about the
E 
stars
 
And danced on the dark like
G#m7 
faith wasn’t
F#sus 
hard
 
I’m just tryna get back to the
G#m7 
start again
 
That feeling that I had you know, the
F#sus 
innocence
 
And cut out all the unimportant
E 
parts
 
And hide in Your arms and
G#m7 
know who You
F#sus 
are
 
I’m just tryna get back to Your
(G#m7) 
heart

Verse 2
B 
When writing songs was
G#m7 
just my
F#sus 
way to show af
B/D# 
fection
E 
And they were only every
E 
made for Your at
C#m7 
ten
F# 
tion
B 
'Cause when I’d worship,
G#m7 
I would
F#sus 
word it
 
Like there’s
G#m7 
one in the
F# 
audience
E 
charts
 
When losing myself was the
F#sus 
art
 
Chorus 2
 
But now I’m just tryna get back to the
B 
heart of it
 
Leave behind the
G#m7 
madness that en
F#sus 
tangles it
 
And
B/D# 
keep on tryna sing about the
E 
stars
 
And dance on the dark like faith isn’t
F#sus 
hard
 
I’m just tryna get back to the
G#m7 
start again
 
That feeling that I had you
B 
know, when
F#sus 
faith began
 
And
B/D# 
how to light a fire without a
E 
spark
 
Find joy in the dark, for
G#m7 
give when it’s
F#sus 
hard
 
Bridge
 
'Cause if I’m
E 
honest
 
I’m done with almost
G#m7 
all of this but
F#sus 
You
 
All the
E 
additives, the nonsense
 
You’re
G#m7 
all I ever
F#sus 
wanted
 
And
B/D# 
I’ll go all
E 
in
 
Just rid me of the
G#m7 
parts that aren’t of
F#sus 
You
 
And for
E 
give where I departed
 
You’re
G#m7 
all I ever
F#sus 
wanted
 
REPEAT BRIDGE
 
Tag
 
Lord, for
E 
give where I departed
 
You’re
G#m7 
all I ever
F#sus 
wanted
F# 
 
Chorus 3
 
Now I’m just tryna get back to the
B 
heart of it
 
I’m tryna get warmth back in my
F#sus 
daily bread
 
And sing with the infinity of
E 
stars inside of Your arms
 
That know whose they
F#sus 
are
 
I’m just tryna get back to the
G#m7 
start again
 
But since I can’t go
B 
back I might as
F#sus 
well advance
 
I’ll run into those everlasting
E 
arms
 
You didn’t bring me this far to leave me in the
F#sus 
dark
 
Ending
 
So I’ll
B/D# 
find You on the other side of
E 
hard
 
Though life left its mark through
B 
wrinkles and
F#sus 
scars
F# 
 
I’m just tryna get back to Your
(B) 
heart
