[Intro]
Bm / D / | G / / /
[Verse 1]
Bm D
Here I am, God, I'm the chief of sinners
G
Pretending that I'm not, but who am I kidding?
Bm D G
You already know the truth so why would I lie to You?
Bm D
You don't need my pride, You don't need my excuses
G
Without the blood of Jesus, the best of me is useless
A Bm G
And I'm unqualified for Heaven, but You said that I'm forgiven
[Chorus]
D Em
Jesus, friend of sinners, Your heart is full of grace
Bm G
Loved me long before I wanted to change
D Em
Jesus, friend of sinners, Your table is where I find
Bm G
That someone just like me could sit by Your side
[Tag 1]
Bm D G
The friend of sinners is a friend of mine
[Verse 2]
Bm D
Here I am, God, with my heart expecting
G
Another disappointment and rejection
Bm D G
But You swing the doors open wide, and You say, “Come in and find”
Bm D G
A meal prepared of bread and wine, the body and the blood of Christ
A Bm
Who gave it all to give me life forever, oh
[Chorus]
[Tag 2]
D Em
The friend of sinners is a friend of mine
Bm G
The friend of sinners is a friend of mine
[Bridge]
D
He's a friend of mine (Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Em
He's a friend of mine (Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Bm
He's a friend of mine (Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
G
He's a friend of mine (Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 3]
Bm D
Here I am, God, the chief of sinners
G
But hanging on a cross, it was finished
Bm D
You qualified me for Heaven
G
When You said, "Father, forgive them"
[Chorus]
[Tag 2]
[Outro]
Bm / D / | G / / /
