[Verse 1]: (Play the first 3 lines with the same fingering
 or if you prefer, with the chords as shown):

G                             D
Things aren't exactly what I thought they would be
G                     D
I won't pretend, disappointments never free
G                 D                   G        D
The sky's on fire...  feels like the sky's on fire

G                         D
  I may be young but I'm feeling old
         Em7                        D
Like somebody borrowed years and I found out they got sold
    G*            D                Em7        D
But I still love You, although my sky's on fire

[Chorus]:
Cadd9       D         Em7       D
      To the Author of life... be the Author of my life
Cadd9        D                   Em7     D          G      D
      To the Author do you hear me   sing? Hear me sing!

[Verse 2]:
  G          D             G                   D
Swallow my pride, let go inside, show me Your way, refine me
G                 D              Em7      D
And I still love You although my sky's on fire

[Chorus]:
Cadd9        D           Em7          D
      To the Author of life... be the Author of my life
Cadd9        D                     Em7    D 
      To the Author do you hear me...  sing? 

[Bridge]:
 G  C                D
 I  see You've-been hanging in there
 G                       C      D
 Looking back I've been running e-ve-ry-where
      G       C           D
 I've done it my way for far too long
         G            D      Em7  
 Like I promised You years before
        G     D      Em7       C                     D
 I say all I have is Yours... All I have is Yours...

[Chorus]:
Cadd9       D         Em7       D
      To the Author of life... be the Author of my life
Cadd9        D                   Em7     D 
      To the Author do you hear me... sing?
Cadd9       D         Em7       D
      To the Author of life... be the Author of my life
Cadd9        D                   Em7     D          G      D
      To the Author do you hear me... sing? Hear me sing!   Ohh

  G          D             Em7                 D
Swallow my pride, let go inside, show me Your way, refine me
  G          D             Em7                 D
Swallow my pride, let go inside, show me Your way, refine me
  G          D             Em7                 D
Swallow my pride, let go inside, show me Your way, refine me...
