BUT THE CROSS

[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

[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]

        C                  Dm

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

             Gsus

When there’s nothing you believe

But the cross (I know I’m forgiven)

But the cross (But this is the beginning)
