Opposite Way chords by Leeland

B-F#-Abm
Living in the same town    For all these years
      Abm   B   F#
Doing the same old things

          B-F#-Abm
Hanging with the same crowd
             E  F#   B
And it's starting to get crippling


You've never felt in place
And you tell yourself it's all okay
But something's different today
You want to run the opposite way

And it seems like you're locked in a cage
And you need to find a way of escape
When everyone is setting the pace
It's okay to run the opposite way

The Father sent His Son down  The light of men
The cross He bore was crippling
Rejected in His own town
They couldn't see the sun shining

He knelt in the garden and prayed
Father, let this cup pass from me
It's not Your will for me to stay
Your will for me is the opposite way

And it seemed like He was locked in a cage
And He couldn't find away of escape
But through the cross He conquered the grave
My Jesus ran the opposite way

Instrumental:

Oh, and through the cross He conquered the grave
Oh, He ran the opposite way
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave
So you could run the opposite way
