  			Intro: C  G  Am  F(4x) (last time instead of F play *1 - riff) 
 
Chorus 
 
                              C            G           Am         F 
Now just the other day, I overheard a flower talking to the sky 
C            G                Am       F        C            G          Am x 2 
He said, you know that I would be nothing without you, oh, oh 
              C                 G     Am                  F 
He said, you give me rain, you give the sun a place to shine 
C            G                Am       F        C            G          Am x 1  
You?re everything that my whole existence comes down to, oh, oh 
F                                         D 
And then the flower started singing a song 
C            Esus               E 
Before I knew it, I was singing along 
 
 
And we sang 
 
Chorus: 
C            G                 Am    F 
This is my declaration of dependence 
C            G                Am    F 
This is my declaration of my need 
C            G                Am    F 
This is my declaration of dependence 
F            C           G         Am          F   C   G   Am x 1 
On the One who gave His life to me 
 
 
                   C               G                Am         F 
Now, let me say that I?m the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself 
C            G                Am       F        C            G          Am x 2 
Don?t want to ask for help, don?t like to stop for directions, oh, oh 
              C                 G     Am                  F 
But in reality, I?m nothing on my own 
C            G                Am       F        C            G          Am x 1  
Its by God?s grace alone that I can make this confession 
F                                         D 
All that I am and all I?m hoping to be 
C            Esus               E 
Is all and only what He?s given to me 
 
 
So I say Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
B     Am 
And I know this is how my life was meant to be 
E/G#  C/G 
I was made for this dependency 
E/G#  Am 
On the One who has created me 
B     F 
So I?ll sing my declaration song 
C/G   E/G#     Am 
For the One I am depending on 
And I hope you?ll sing along 
 
Chorus x 2
