Chords by: Kurtis
This is definitely one of my favorite songs by MercyMe on this
album. It's very simple, but carries a really good message.
I probably didn't need to write out all the lyrics, but just to be
thorough, they're here for you. I've put the standard chords above
the lyrics, although I think it sounds a little better with the barre
chords, so those are here as well.

-Verse I-
DAG
Nobody said it would be easy,
DAG
Nobody said that life's a breeze,
DAG
Tossin' and turnin', oh the wind keeps churnin' like I'm
DAG
A little toy boat out on the sea.
-Verse II-
DAG
If I'm down, don't count me out,
DAG
I'll slowly get back on my feet,
DAG
Stumblin' and fumblin' but I keep on comin', just as long
DAG
As you're not givin' up on me.
-Chorus-
DAG
And when I trip, fall, and slow down to a crawl,
DAG
And feel like, I got nothin' left to lose,
DAG
Well I may slip, slide, and watch our worlds collide,
DAG
But I will, hit the ground runnin' back to You.
-Verse III-
DAG
There are days my head is spinning,
DAG
Wishin' I could hit the switch and end this ride,
D - G
If it came to a stop, and someone let me off, I know,
DAG
I would just get right back in line.
-Chorus-
DAG
And when I trip, fall, and slow down to a crawl,
DAG
And feel like, I got nothin' left to lose,
DAG
Well I may slip, slide, and watch our worlds collide,

But I will, hit the ground runnin' back to You.

DA
Oh time and time again,
G
Yeah yeah yeah...
DAG
-Chorus (extended)-
DAG
And when I trip, fall, and slow down to a crawl,
DAG
And feel like, I got nothin' left to lose,
DAG
Well I may slip, slide, and watch our worlds collide,
DAG
But I will, hit the ground runnin' back to You.
(Repeat chord progression to fade)
Yeah and I will, hit the ground runnin' back to You,
Oh, I may slip, slide, and watch our worlds collide,
But I will, yes I will, hit the ground runnin' back to You
Oh yeah, I hit the ground runnin' back to You.
I hit the ground, crashin' down, rollin' round, but I rebound,
I get back up and I'll be found, runnin', runnin' back to You
I'm runnin' back to You,
Back to You, back to You, back to You...
Runnin' back to you...
