C2             G/B     Am           Em
I've read the story, I've seen the movie
C2        G/B                Am       Em
I give to charity, and tithe my 10 percent
C2         G/B     Am     Em         D

It should've been me, should've been us

Should've been there hanging on a cross
            C2                  G
All of this shame, all of these scars
                D

         C2               G
Why do I hide, why do You try
         D              Em
