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

[OUTRO]
        C    
But the cross (I know I’m forgiven)
        Am                       G         F
But the cross (But this is the beginning)
        C
But the cross
