play electric intro riff starting the 3nd time through

VERSE ONE
Bm         A                    E
God, I admit I haven't changed
Bm                  A               E
Playing card houses still covering my landscape
Bm          F#m             E
I never expected you to stay
                Bm                      F#m                 E
When I'm grabbing for these crumbs and cold loose change

CHORUS
D               A           Bm
I feel your grace come running over every road
D               A                       G
I love the way You're calling overflow
D               A           Bm
I feel your grace come running over every road
D                   A                           B           
You break the floodgates down and carry all

God, I admit I've loved these chains
Bm                  A                   E
And crawling around this cage sometimes has its advantages
Bm        F#m                           E
I know someday this could get old
        Bm                  F#m            B
And I'll need your healing water to find my home

NOTES ABOUT ELECTRIC GUITAR PARTS: These are the tabs for the major electric 
solos, and there's frankly not too much variety in them cause they mainly 
accentuate the main   musical theme of the song. You can hear Steve's 
electric during the chorus, but the verses are solo acoustic guitar.
