[C#] Less Than Whole was the very first song I [E] ever wrote with Big Kenny, [E] Kenny Alphin.
He's the tall guy in Big and Rich.
And I went in and I kind of had the melody and the first few lines of the verse,
you know, the [C#] great clouds have departed.
[C#m]
[E] And all those lines, and he was telling me that he was working on a script
for a movie that was about [C#m] forgiveness.
It's really neat how that song has kind of taken [Em] a life and a meaning of its [E] own.
When we wrote it, it was almost from a guy to his wife that he'd screwed up
and she was coming back to [C#m] forgiving him, and he's forgiving her in [A] himself.
And the cool thing [E] to me, it's a very spiritual song for me
and I think a lot of other people, but it also can be [C#] a relationship song
down here on Earth or [E] up in Heaven.
And [C#m] I'm grateful that I got to write that with [A] Kenny
and [E] that I [C#m] think it helps people.
And [E] that's a big goal, I think, [C#] for anybody.
We all want to feel like we matter and what we did that day matters.
[E] And I'm [C#m] grateful that people love [E] Less Than Whole and that it matters to them.
[C#m]
[E]
The great clouds have [C#m] departed
The stars [A] light up [E] the night
I now can see through [C#m] darkness
[C#] The river [A] shines [E] with life
I've waded through the [C#m] water
My soul [A] has come clean
I've held my breath forever
[C#m] But now [A] it's time to breathe
[C#m]
There's [E] nothing like forgiveness
[C#]
To [A] resurrect a soul
[C#]
Better [E] to give than get [C#m] it
I've been forgiven [E] so I'm letting you know
[C#m]
Nobody [E] should be less than whole
So many broken people
[C#] Their hearts [A] forget [N] to beat
