Verse 1:
F                              C
You gave me all that you could offer,
    Em7                      Am   G
Oh, I took that and a little more,
F                             C
You chewed me up and then the scoffer,
Em7                          Am   G
He took the keys and cut the cord.

Verse 2:
F                         C
I feel for everything you said,
Em7                              Am            G
But this rusty gold won't pay my debt, no, oh, oh,
F                      C
I lusted after your success,
Em7                     Am   G
But ended broken here instead.


Pre-chorus:
F
Oh my, oh my, yeah,
F                          Am
Who's this man who paid my debt?


Chorus:
Am
Open up my eyes,
G F
  You're the man the Christ,
    C                             Em
The only hope for sinners in this life,
        Am
Woah oh woah.
           Am
Open up my heart,
G F
  You're the light in darkness,
C                              Em
Cannot comprehend this God and man,
                               Am
But you're the rock on which I stand.


[Interlude]
G F  C  Em  Am
G F  C  Em  Am


Verse 3:
G F                          C
  My mind was twisted up and skewed,
Em7                            Am
 My heart was split right into two,
G F                              C
   My soul was burdened down and blue,
Em7                             Am   G
My strength was gone outside of you.


Verse 4:
F                           C
But that's when you said to me,
Em7                             Am
Well, son, I reckon you're dead beat,
G F                           C                Em7
   Your burdened soul I can relieve, woah woah woah,
                          Am   G
So on that dark night I believed.


Pre-chorus:
F
Oh my, oh my, yeah,
F                          Am
Who's this man who paid my debt?


Chorus:
Am
Open up my eyes,
G F
  You're the man the Christ,
    C                             Em
The only hope for sinners in this life,
        Am
Woah oh woah.
           Am
Open up my heart,
G F
  You're the light in darkness,
C                              Em
Cannot comprehend this God and man,
                               Am    G Am
But you're the rock on which I stand . . ..


Bridge:
Am               F
I'm the sexual impure,
                            C
Whose mind's addicted and unsure,
                      Em
I'm the hater of your word,
                            Am
The one who spit at you and cursed.
                   Fmaj7
I'm the lazy one inside,
                              C
Who's wasted years of his own life,
                       Em
I'm the sinner full of pride,
                            Am
Who's angry at his own dear wife.
                      Fmaj7
I'm the liar, I'm the thief,
                       C
I'm the wretched man beneath,
                    Em
I'm the murderer of man,
                      Am
I'm the hater of your hand.
                        Fmaj7
God, I've hated on your son,
                          C
I've cast stones at Christians,
                       Em
I forsook you for that gold,
                       Am
Yet the master gave tenfold.
                      Fmaj7
I deserve the hottest flame,
                         C
Yet the father called my name,
                            Em
I'm the one whom you should kill,
                          Am
Yet for me your blood was spilled.
                           Fmaj7
I'm the one who nailed you there,
                       C
Yet the sin I have you bare,
                      Em
I'm the one who has rebelled,
                           F
Yet you saved my soul from hell.
    F
And who's this man who paid my debt?


Chorus:
Am
Open up my eyes,
G F
  You're the man the Christ,
    C                             Em
The only hope for sinners in this life,
        Am
Woah oh woah.
           Am
Open up my heart,
G F
  You're the light in darkness,
C                              Em
Cannot comprehend this God and man,
                               Am
But you're the rock on which I stand.
Am
Open up my mind,
G F
  Jesus, son of God on high!
    C                            Em
The only name by which we can be saved,
           Am
Woah oh woah,
           Am
Open up my soul,
G F
  You're the fountain flowing gold,
    C                        Em
The only inspiration that sufficed,
                     Am      Am
You're the man Jesus Christ.


Outro:
F                              C
You gave me all that you could give,
    Em                     Am
But now for Jesus Christ I live.
