There's just two ways to lose yourself in this life
And neither way is safe
In my dreams I see visions of the future
But today we have today
And where will I find you?
In the economy of mercy
I am a poor and begging man
In the currency of grace
Is where my song begins
In the colors of your goodness
In the scars that mark your skin
In the currency of grace
Is where my song begins
These carbon shells
These fragile dusty frames
House canvases of souls
We are bruised and broken masterpieces
But we did not paint ourselves
And where will I find you?
In the economy of mercy
I am a poor and begging man
In the currency of grace
Is where my song begins
In the colors of your goodness
In the scars that mark your skin
In the currency of grace
Is where my song begins
Where was I when the world was made?
Where was I?
I'm lost without you here
Yes, I'm lost without you near me
I'm lost without you here
You knew my name when the world was made

version 2
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
INTRO: Basically, you just make a G chord and hit these individual
notes. You play this 4x through and there is a little bit of
variation sometimes with the individual notes but this is most of it.
At the end of the 2nd time you play the extra fill that goes
in between the two divisions of the intro. Then repeat this again.

D|------0~-|---0---------0-----0---0------0-----0---0---------|
A|----2----|---2----------------------------------------------|

This is the fill that is played after the 1st time
through (0:15) and then again just before the verse.

PRECHORUS: "Where will I find you?" For the 1st chord here, make
sure you do an upstroke on the 1st chord or it will sound wrong!
The rest of the chords can just be played with normal downstrokes.

individual notes added in some places. These are the notes
you use though and you can mess around with them if you want.
