Sixpence None the Richer - Brighten My Heart: chords

D               D7
My heart is as dark as the soil,
             Gmaj7      Gm
sodden with winter rains
D              D7
My soul is as heavy as the peat,
          Gmaj7         Gm
freshly dug from the bog

My thoughts swirl like willow
branches caught in autumn winds
My body is as tense as a cat's as
it stalks its prey

Chorus:
G       D                 G
Help me open my heart to You
        D                 G
Help me open my heart to You
        D                 F
Help me open my heart to You, oh Jesus
       C     A/C#    D
It's what I long to do
  G       D   G
Ooh, to do, ooh

My heart is as dark as the soil,
sodden with winter rains
(Lord, brighten my heart)
My soul is as heavy as the peat,
freshly dug from the bog
(Lord, lighten my soul)

My thoughts swirl like willow branches
caught in autumn winds
(Lord, still my thoughts)
My body is as tense as a cat's as
it stalks its prey
(Lord relax my body)

Chorus:
Help me open my heart to You
(Help me open my heart to You)
Help me open my heart to You
(Help me open my heart to You)
Help me open my heart to You, oh Jesus
It's what I long to do, oh, to do, oh
Help me open my heart to You
(Help me open my heart to You)
Help me open my heart to You
(Help me open my heart to You)
Help me open my heart to You, sweet Jesus, I

(Help me open my heart to You)
I want to open my heart to You
(Help me open my heart to You)
I want to open my heart to You
(Help me open my heart to You)
I want to open my heart to You, oh Jesus
It's what I long to do, oh, to do,
oh, to do, oh, to do, oh
