G D/F# Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west Em I don't have to see the man I've been G/C C Come rising up in me again G D In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest) Am G/B C You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other [Ending] Em D Em D (Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far) Em From one scarred hand to the other D Em C (You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far) From one scarred hand to the other An awesome song from a great band. I'll be honest and admit that I'm really uncertain about the G/C chord in both places. I'm open to suggestions. You're welcome to email me at God bless ya!
