[INTRO]
| Db | Ab6 | Bbm | Gbmaj7 |

[VERSE 1]
Db                            Ab6
    Don’t know how I ever did it
                        Bbm
Go a day without You in it
                          Gbmaj7
Guess You were and I just missed it
Db
   For all the ways that life worked out
Ab6
    When I look back man there’s no doubt
Bbm                       Gbmaj7
    How lost I’d be right  now

[CHORUS 1]
                 Db                        Ab6
If it wasn’t for Jesus God knows where I’d be
                 Bbm                      Gmaj7
Still tryna find healing in all the wrong things
                      Db                        Ab6
Thinking I knew ‘bout freedom with chains on my feet
                 Bbm                  Gmaj7
All rhyme and no reason all me and no meaning
                 Db    Ab6
If it wasn’t for Jesus  
                  Bbm    Gbmaj7
If it wasn't for      

[VERSE 2]
Db                                       Ab6
    Don’t know why You ever You ever did it
                            Bbm 
Trading places with a cyn - ic
                             Gbmaj7
Gave Your life while I dis - missed it
Db
   But in my mess or in my doubts
Ab6
    You reached through hell You brought me out
Bbm                                 Gbmaj7
    I doubt I’d still be here right now

[CHORUS 2]
                 Db                        Ab6
If it wasn’t for Jesus God knows where I’d be
                 Bbm                      Gmaj7
Still tryna find healing in all the wrong things
                  Db                       Ab6
Oh I remember the feeling without You it’s bleak
                 Bbm                  Gmaj7
All rhyme and no reason all me and no meaning

[BRIDGE]
                      Db
If it wasn’t for Your love Lord
              Absus
Since I found  it   don’t wanna live without it
Bbm                      Gb
Hands high, open hearted    where would I be without 
     Db
Your love Lord 
              Absus
Since I found  it  don’t wanna live without it
Bbm                      Gb
Hands high, open hearted    where would I be

[CHORUS 3]
                 Db     Ab6                  Bbm     Gbmaj7
If it wasn’t for Jesus      If it wasn’t for Jesus      
                        Db                   Ab6
I’d still be falling to pieces but missing a piece
                 Bbm                  Gbmaj7
All rhyme and no reason all me and no meaning
