Verse 1
I heard s(Am)hame told you a s(G)tory
That you c(F)an’t escape your past
That the (Am)innocence you l(G)ost
There’s no w(F)ay to get it back
I heard (Am)fear sold you some f(G)iction
You bought e(F)verything he had
Made you t(Am)oo afraid to l(G)ive
And kept your h(F)eart under attack
Pre-Chorus
They (Am)say you’re t(G)oo guilty for His g(F)race
You’re (Am)too far g(G)one and now you’re too (F)late
Chorus
But the c(C)ross says they’re wr(F)ong
Don’t bel(Am)ieve the words they say
Let the t(G)ruth wash them away
Cause His b(C/E)lood says you’re l(F)oved
Every (Am)lie is bound to leave
When there’s n(G)othing you believe but the c(Am)ross
Interlude

Verse 2
I’ve been (Am)right there where you’re s(G)tanding
All those t(F)hings they told me too

And I was o(F)nly born to lose
(Am) They sa(G)id I was born to l(F)ose
Chorus
But the c(C)ross says they’re wr(F)ong
Don’t bel(Am)ieve the words they say
Let the t(G)ruth wash them away
Cause His b(C/E)lood says you’re l(F)oved
Every (Am)lie is bound to leave
When there’s n(G)othing you believe but the cross
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)Oh
They can s(G)ay whatever they want
(Am)Oh
They can s(G)ay whatever they want
Chorus
But the cr(C)oss says they’re wr(Dm)ong
I don’t bel(Am)ieve the words they say
Cause the tr(G)uth washed them away
Oh
His b(C/E)lood says I’m l(F)oved
Every (Am)lie is bound to leave
When there’s n(G)othing we believe
But the c(C)ross (the cross)
Outro
I know I'm forgiven
But the c(Am)ross (the cross)
This is the beg(G)inning.(F)
But the cr(C)oss
