By: Ben Fuller

Transpose:
[INTRO]
Am C F Am C F [VERSE 1]
Am C F
I heard shame told you a story that you can’t escape your past
Am C/E F
That the innocence you lost, there’s no way to get it back
Am C F
I heard fear sold you some fiction, you bought everything he had
Am C/E F
Made you too afraid to live and kept your heart under attack [PRE-CHORUS]
Am C/E F
They say you’re too guilty for His grace
Am C/E F
You’re too far gone and now you’re too late [CHORUS 1]
C F
But the cross says they’re wrong
Am G
Don’t believe the words they say, let the truth wash them away
C/E F Am
Cause His blood says you’re loved, every lie is bound to leave
G (Am)
When there’s nothing you believe but the cross [TURN]
(Am) C F [VERSE 2]
Am C F
I’ve been right there where you’re standing, all those things they told me too
Am C/E F
That I was out of second chances, and I was only born to lose
Am C F
They said I was born to lose [CHORUS 1] [BRIDGE]
C
Shame tells me I’m broken, But I know I’m forgiven
Am
Fear tells me it’s over, But this is the beginning
F G
Oh, They can say whatever they want
Am G
Oh, They can say whatever they want [CHORUS 2]

But the cross says they’re wrong Am G
Don’t believe the words they say, let the truth wash them away

Cause His blood says you’re loved, every lie is bound to leave

C
But the cross (I know I’m forgiven)

But the cross (But this is the beginning)
