My Only by John Mark McMillan
My Only
Capo:no capo
Verse: G D A A
All day long
we are sinking like stones
into the shadow
of Your kindness
In this shade
between the wingspan
of Your face is
the only place
where we can bed
these burdens down (so I)
Chorus:
Bm D G G
Lift my eyes up to the hills
Bm D G G
who is gonna help me now?
G A Bm A
You're my only You’re my only
G A Bm Bm
You’re my only hope
Verse: G D A A
tangled hope
in the great ridiculous
way You love.
It is the only way to live
there's no escape
staring like a deer into the
headlights of Your praises (so I)
Bridge: G D A A
and You come like the sun
with pockets full of redemption
and You come
with the sun.

All day long
We are sinking just like stones
Into the shadow of your kindness
In this shade
Between the wingspan of your face
Is the only place
Where we can bed these burdens down
Lift my eyes up to the hills
Who is gonna help me now
You're my only hope
Tangled up
In the great ridiculous
Way you love
It is the only way to live
There's no escape
When you look at me that way
Staring like a deer into the
Headlights of your praises
Lift my eyes up to the hills
Who is gonna help me now
You're my only hope
And you come like the sun
With pockets full of redemption
And you come
With the sun

version 3
Capo:7th fret
**To get the proper sound for the rhythm guitar, play this capo 7 in the C
position (hit transpose up 5 half steps to get the chords)**
When you play it Capo 7, leave the E string open on the three chords
throughout the verse to get that sound you hear on "The Medicine" version.
Here it is in standard G position for the lead guitar and bass, no capo.

This is the backbone of the entire song. Play around with some lead parts
during the verses in the D major scale and get creative!
All day long
We are sinking just like stones
Into the shadow of your kindness
In this shade
Between the wingspan of your face
Is the only place
Where we can bed these burdens down
Lift my eyes up to the hills
Who is gonna help me now
You're my only hope
Tangled up
In the great ridiculous
Way you love
It is the only way to live
There's no escape
When you look at me that way
Staring like a deer into the
Headlights of your praises
Lift my eyes up to the hills
Who is gonna help me now
You're my only hope
And you come like the sun
With pockets full of redemption
And you come
With the sun
