Through All Of It Chords by Colton Dixon

[N] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] Elliot's my fourth child.
_ [Ab]
Basically, when they pulled Elliot out, they knew right [Gb] away that something wasn't right with [Db] him. _ _ _ _
[F] I was working with troubled [Ab] teens in a halfway [G] house.
I'd always wanted to be a pastor, but I'd always wanted to be a cop.
That following spring, I was officer of the year in 2002.
[Gb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ There was a tumor in my brain.
What 21 [A]-year-old wants to hear?
They have cancer.
_ _ _ [Ab] Fifteen or sixteen I started, struggling [G] with an eating [Ab] disorder.
_ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ It was my twelfth birthday.
I was turning twelve.
[G] None of us heard the [F] gunshot.
We just heard my [Abm] mom screaming.
_ _ _ _ [A] I was sold into sex [Ab] trafficking by my mother.
_ [Abm] I was twelve. _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [D] _ They [Abm] covered me with plastic, pronounced me dead.
People would [Ab] meet me and they would [D] never [Ab] know all the things that I've [C] been through. _ _ _ _
[A] I would _ _ overexercise, get menial, trying to [C] keep the shell pretty. _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ I still ran track, [C] and every race I lost was because I wasn't skinny enough.
I had that approval addiction.
[Am] It took control of me.
_ [F]
There [C] are days of taking [F]
more than I can [Am] give.
_ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] And there are choices [F]
that I've made [Am] that I wouldn't make [G] again.
My parents have [F] planned an intervention for me.
And my [G] family, now they're telling me that [Am] _ I'm hurting them.
That [C] started a turning [F] point.
I had my share [G] of laughter, of [Am] tears and troubled [C]
times.
_ _ [F] This has been [C] the story of my _ life. _
_ I have _ _ wronged, _ and I have [G] lied. _ _ _
I got it right [C] _ sometimes, but sometimes I did not.
All of the lies that I've been speaking over myself, and all of the pain from my past,
were replaced with who I am in Christ.
Life's been a journey.
I've seen joy, I've seen [G] regret.
_ _ _ _ Oh, [C] and [F] you have been [G] my guide [C] through all of it.
This particular pastor called and [G] he says,
We've gotten these two young men [C] who broke into a bunch of cars.
[F] We just need you to come and pick them up.
[C]
You were there when it all [F] came down on [Am]
me.
The two young men [F] conspired to kill me.
Throw me [C] out in the woods somewhere and take off with [G] my car and run.
So I jumped [Am] on the hood, put my gun [F] right up against the glass and said,
Don't do it.
They took off with me [G] on the hood of the car.
When I jumped off of the hood, I hit the back of my head,
which immediately busted both my inner ears.
[F] In those unclear [G] moments, you were the [Am]
one in me [C] strong.
_ This [Am] is how my [C] story's _ always _ [G] gone.
_ _ [C] I have won.
I had severe vertigo.
I have [G] lost.
Panic attacks, PTSD.
I got it right _ [C] sometimes, but sometimes I did not.
Everything that I had ever taken pride in, my strength, my abilities,
all of that was gone.
Life's been a journey.
I've seen joy, I've seen regret.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ Oh, and [C] you have been [G] my guide through all of [A] it.
[G] It was a [D] really, really rough labor.
[G] He had a 9 by 6 centimeter cyst in the center of [C] his brain.
His head was extra large.
We don't know if he'll talk, we don't [G] know if he'll walk.
My heart sunk.
I had no idea that he would end up having eight surgeries that year.
He hit me head on at 80 miles per hour.
When the police got there, I was pronounced dead without a [F] pulse for almost an hour.
When they pulled the car from me, I took [G] a gasp.
I started breathing again.
[Am] When I left the hospital, I was told that I'd never be able to have [G] children,
and they're not sure if I'd be able to walk again.
Who's to [F] say?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] I was trapped in a house with [C] a man who abused me for [G] six months.
I [C] walked in, and he was just on the floor.
I just think it's crazy, walking in on your stepfather shooting himself [G] at 12 on your birthday.
[Am] To realize that I may never perform music [G] again,
I was almost more sad about that than having cancer [Am] itself.
_ And this is who you [C]
are.
Mom comes to play the stars up in the sky.
All these years of high. _ _ _ _
I _ _ _ see you.
_ Right now I still do.
I [F] know he's going to.
_ I [C] changed my attitude.
I said, I'm going to give this to God, and I'm going to allow people [G] into my life to help me.
I can't do this alone.
I believe [F] that God is a great physician.
Even when I said I'd never [Gm] have children again, I [C] just didn't believe it.
I'm walking, I'm running, and I have a child. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] I know that that has to be because God is [C] with me. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] There's no way I could have got through all this just by myself. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ I knew he was there, and as he _ rebuilt me, I regained all that I had lost without the arrogance.
I see [Am] how his hand has shielded me, and there's a purpose in that.
Every [C] day I'm living out that purpose.
_ [Am] _ Everyone's been through difficult times.
I can do anything through Christ who's strengthened me.
He's alive.
_ [Bb] Anyone who sees [C] him thinks he's a miracle.
Free in half.
_ In every situation, there can be joy, there can be life.
What I thought was a death sentence turned [Am] into be my story and my life.
I've battled cancer four times.
If I trust in him, I can do anything. _ _ _ _ _
