Chords for NEEDTOBREATHE - “Washed By The Water (Acoustic Live)" [Official Audio]

People ask us a lot of times about our influences and they're all over the place as a band,
but one of them is we grew up in a church.
Our dad was a preacher.
We were kids.
We listened to gospel music.
_ _ Yeah, before you cheer, hear the rest of the story.
_ _ _ We were the bad kids.
My mom would only let us listen to Christian music when we were kids and me and my brother hated that.
And we taped stuff off the radio in our bedroom.
_ And then we took it to our Christian school and sold the tapes. _ _ _ _ _
So there'd be Amy Grant tapes, but Sir Mix-a-Lot would be on there. _
_ _ _ _ But there was a bunch of gospel music that we loved from that time, stuff like this right here. _ _
_ I'm free, _ [E] praise the Lord, [B] I'm free.
[F#] No longer bound. _
[E] There's no more chains holding [B] me.
My [E] soul is resting.

[F#] Hallelujah, [E] I am free. _

_ [E] _ _ [B]
But people started talking.
_ Just to hear their own [F#] [D#] voice.
_ [G#m] Those people tried to accuse my father.
[E] They made the [B] wrong choice. _ _
Though it might be painful.
[B] You know, the time will always [D#] tell.
_ [G#m] Those people have long since [E] gone.
My father never [B] fell.
_ [E] _ _
Cause even when the rain falls, _ _ even when the flood [B] starts rising,
[Bm] even when the storm [B] comes, I am [F#] washed by the [B] water.
Even when the rain falls, [E] _ even when the [F#] flood starts [B] rising,
