We Are Not As Strong As We Think We Are chords

([F2] / / / / )[ / / / / ]([C] / / / / )

Verse 1:

([F/C] / / [G/C]/ It took the han[C]d of God Almighty

To part the waters of the sea
But it o[C]nly took one little lie
[Cmaj7]/[E]
To separate you and me
Oh, we are n[F]ot as strong as we thi[C]nk we are

[VERSE 2]
[F/C] [G/C] And they sa[C]y that one day Joshua
Made the sun stand still in the sk[C2]y
But I[C] can't even keep these thoughts of yo[C/E]u from passing by
Oh, we are [Fmaj7] not as strong [F]
[Fmaj7] [F] As we thin[C/G]k we are

[CHORUS]
[G] [C/G] We are fr[G]ail, we are fearfully and w[F]onderfully mad[C]e
Forged in the fires [G] of human passion
Choking on the fu[F]mes of selfish rag[C]e
And with t[G/B]hese our h[Am]ells and our heavens
So few i[Fmaj7]nches apart
[F] We must be [C/E]aw- f[Dm]lly small,
And not as strong as we [Gsus]think we are [G]

[VERSE 3]
And the Master said their faith was
Gonna make them mountains move
But me, I tremble like a hill on a fault line
Just at the thought of how I lost you
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

Repeat Chorus

[BRIDGE]
[Dm] And if you make me laugh,
I know [Gsus] I could make you like me
[C2](no3) [C2]/[E] [F2]
'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun
[Dm] But when we can't do that I know [Gsus] that it is fright'ning
[C2](no3) [C2]/[E]
What I don't know is why we can't hold on,
[Am2] We can't h[G]old on.

Repeat Verse 1:
It took the hand of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea
But it only took one little lie
To separate you and me
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

[VERSE 4]
When you love you walk on the water,
Just don't stumble on the waves.
We all want to go there somethin' awful,
But to stand there it takes some grace,
'Cause oh, we are not as strong
As we think we are

[G] [C/G] No, we are n[F]ot as strong
[Fmaj7] [F] As we thin[C]k we are.
