             Meant To Be 







Capo 1
Intro: A

Verse:
E                    A
Long before you drew your first breath
  D                A
A dream was coming true
E                    A
God wanted to give a gift to the world
      D                A
So he wrapped it up in you

Pre-chorus:
E                      A
Every step that you've taken
E                   D
Every move that you make
   A           D
Is part of his plan

Chorus: 
         A
You were meant to be touching
    E
The lives that you touch
    A
And meant to be here
        E
Making this world so much more
     B               D    
Than it would be without you in it
         A
You were meant to be bringing
    E
The gifts that you bring
    A
And singing the songs
            E
You've been given to sing
        B       
You are perfectly, wonderfully,
D                       E A
Beautifully meant to be-E-E
                    
You were meant to be

Interlude: A

Verse:
E                    A
Long before you took your first fall
    D               A
You stumbled to the ground
E                       A                   
God started telling the story of you 
       E               A
to the angels gathered around

Pre-chorus:
E                 A
Every failure and victory
E             D
Everything in between
    A          D
Its all in his hand

Chorus:
         A
You were meant to be touching
    E
The lives that you touch
    A
And meant to be here
       E
Making this world so much more
     B           D
Than it would be without you in it
         A
You were meant to be bringing
    E
The gifts that you bring
    A
And singing the songs
            E
You've been given to sing
        B
You are perfectly, wonderfully,

Beautifully meant to be-E-E
   
You were meant to be (yeah)

A       E        D
You are meant to be

Pre-chorus:
E                            A
For every breath that you're taking
E                       D
And every move that you make
A                 D    
It's a meaningful life you've been given
   A
So live it well

You were meant to be touching
    E
The lives that you touch

And meant to be here
       E
Making this world so much more
     B           D
Than it would be without you in it
         A        
You were meant to be bringing
    E
The gifts that you bring
    A
And singing the songs
            E
You've been given to sing
        B
You are perfectly, wonderfully,
