Someone gave it to me when I'd fallen down
Something simple brought me back around
I'm paying forward what I reap
What's the one thing you gotta give away to keep?
Your word
Your word
Your word
Your word
I see a shape on the horizon, it's coming clear
I'm realizin
I wallked around the world
and I came up right behind you

Someone gave it to me when I was down and out
Just a simple confirmation of my humanity
So now I'm paying forward what I hope to reap
Tell me, What's the one thing you gotta give away to keep?
Your word x3
Your word x3
You see words can rip holes
Or build sanctuaries of hope
Its the animal that (makes) promises
They don’t intend to keep
I see a shape on the horizon, it's coming clear
I’ve been all but fantasizing about this coming year
I’ve walked around the world, beheld a lot of pearls
But your oath still grows inside of me
Your word x3
Your word x3
You see words can rip holes
Or build sanctuaries of hope
Its the animal that (makes) promises
They don’t intend to keep
Chords: A-E-B, A-E-B, A-E-B-C#m,

*here is where I sit with the verse but it's not recorded:
when the rain falls down and it makes it hard to see
and the storm comes round and tries to turn my life around
I plant my feet on holy ground

I have given away what I have saved up
I have kept good advice locked inside
all those hard-bidden choices, I once made for you
seems like no matter what I’ve tried
I have always maintained best intentions
I would never make promise so cheap
I will always recall them, the steel words you swore
it’s the one thing you give away to keep
your word, your word
first sound that I heard
oh, give me your word once again
your word, your word
these lines, how they’ve blurred
break me but don’t let me bend
all that’s priceless and gold lost that shimmer
and I wonder what these diamonds are worth
now that I’ve gone and burned the one thing I earned
the only thing left on this earth
your word, your word
first sound that I heard
oh, give me your word once again
your word, your word
these lines, how they’ve blurred
break me but don’t let me bend
