VERSE 1:

E                      B
  I see a multitude of people
E                        A  
  Some far away and some close by
A                         B
  They weave together new religion
B           A     
  From tiny remnants they have found
A                           B   
  A bit of truth, a greater lie
F#m                              B  
  And all the prophets stand and sing a pleasant song
F#m                             B
  A million cords that bind the spirit growing strong
B             A
  My heart is breaking
A        B
  I must remind them
  

CHORUS:
                   E
  You are the only way
                   C#m
  You are the only voice
                   A
  You are the only hope
                   B
  You are the only choice
                       E
  You are the one true God
                    C#m 
  No matter what we say
                        A
  You are the breath of life
                   B
  We need You here today
          A        B    
  Give us wisdom 
          A        B   
  Give us wisdom
 
 
VERSE 2:
 
  There is a moment of decision
  But all the days go rushing by
  An undercurrent of confusion
  To threaten all that we believe
  With little time to wonder why
  All the prophets sing the same familiar song
  Even the chosen can be lead to sing along
  These hearts are breaking
  Will You remind us
  

CHORUS  


BRIDGE:

A                B             E               B       
  You choose the simple things to overcome the wise
A           B              E             A
  Wisdom is granted in the name of Jesus Christ
B        E             A         
  In the name of Jesus Christ
  
CHORUS:

C#sus9             F#
  You are the only way
                   D#m
  You are the only voice
                   Bsus9
  You are the only hope
                   C#sus9
  You are the only choice
                       F#
  You are the one true God
                    D#m 
  No matter what we say
                        Bsus9
  You are the breath of life
                   C#sus9
  We need You here today
C#sus9             F#
  You are the only way
                   D#m
  You are the only voice
                   Bsus9
  You are the only hope
                   C#sus9
  You are the only choice
                       F#
  You are the one true God
                    D#m 
  No matter what we say
                        Bsus9
  You are the breath of life
                   C#sus9
  We need You here today
          Bsus9    C#sus9    
  Give us wisdom 
          Bsus9    C#sus9
  Give us wisdom
  
Then the electric guitar plays the following tab once and then the song 
fades out when the guitar is playing the same tab again.
