Biography:
For Michael Watson, songwriter and lead vocalist of Portland, Oregon- based band Above the Golden State, there has never been an inkling of doubt as to why he is doing what he is doing. In no uncertain terms, he explains:
“Music is from God and for God. And I believe God is raising up a new generation of young musicians who want to see music being used for its original purpose—to glorify God.”
Lush, moving, and wildly infectious, you can sense that there is something beyond the ordinary surrounding Watson and his songs.

Received these chords from Michael, lead singer/guitarist of the band, so you can know

to pick-up. Good luck and God Bless.
(A list of chord fingerings are at the bottom)
INTRO: G Bm Em
FIRST VERSE:
G Bm
I tried and tried,
Em C G
A thousand times I tried to get to you,
Bm F C
But I could never move...
G Bm
I had to lie,
Em C G
To fall behind and blame it all on you,
Bm F C
Cause' I still hate to lose...
PRE CHORUS: C Em D
CHORUS:
G D
Towers fall and kingdoms crumble,
Am C
The mountains bow and the earth will tremble,
Em D C
At the sound of Your name, at the sound of Your name.
G D
Strong man falls to him who humbles,
Am C
Plans he made, were bound to stumble,
Em D C
Only You remain, only You remain.
2ND VERSE (same chord pattern as first verse):
I cried and cried,
A thousand tears I cried because of You,
I lost my one excuse...
And I had to die,
Along with everything inside of me removed,
But now I live with you...
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
F Am G C
Some men can reach the sky,
Dm C G
If he built his own device,
F Am G C
Still he'd fall away from you.
(He's underneath your eyes)
Dm C G
He's underneath your eyes,
As he plans his own demise,
Dm C G
What's dear to him is not to you.
(Oh, oh, oh Part)
G Em
His kingdom fell and his heart was trouble,
C
I feel the same, I feel the same.
(this part goes like the chorus)
Strong man falls to him who humbles,
He demands a man who won't stumble
And that's why He came, and that's why He came.
CHORUS
Only You remain, only You remain.
