Intro:
G Em D C
Verse 1:
G
I was told He was angry
Em
And He hated the music up too loud
D
I was told He would save me
C
If I showed up to church and I shut my mouth
G
If I smoked, if I drank, if I cussed, I'd think
Em
I was on a long black train to Hell
D
Yeah, I thought I knew Him
C
'Til I met Him for myself
Chorus:
G
But the Jesus I know now
Em
Ain't shakin' a fist, ain't raisin' a brow
D
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
C
Ain't runnin' away from a party crowd
G
I found a friend
Em D
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
C
Can't believe I was missin' out
G
On the Jesus I know now
Post-Chorus:
Em C
Mm
Verse 2:
G
I'm learnin' He likes me
Em
Even when I take a joke a little too far
D
Yeah, I'm learnin' He knows me
C
Every hair on my head, every story behind my scars
G
And He says who I am and it ain't what I do
Em
His grace takes some gettin' used to
D
I'm learnin' He loves me
C
Yeah, the boy in a bar and the kid in a pew
Chorus:
G
But the Jesus I know now

Bridge:
G
Yeah, I got what I wanted
Em
I heard my song on the radio
D
Let me longin' and lonelier
C
Top of the world with an empty heart
C
And nowhere left to go
C
But back into the arms
Chorus:
G
Of the Jesus I know now
Em
Ain't just a voice up there in the clouds
D
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
C
Ain't lookin' for trophies to make Him proud

I found a friend

Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again

Can't believe I was missin' out
G Em
On the Jesus I know now.
