Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
C

Verse 1:
  Am        F                        C
If I were You I would've given up on me by now
                        Am         F
I would've labeled me a lost cause
                           C
'Cause I feel just like a lost cause
  Am         F                              C
If I were You I would've turned around and walked away
                       Am           F
I would've labeled me beyond repair
                        C
'Cause I feel like I'm beyond repair

Pre-Chorus:
           Am   G          F            C
Oh, but somehow You don't see me like I do
  Am     G            F
Somehow You're still here

Chorus:
                    C
You're the God who stays
                    Em
You're the God who stays
                    F
You're the one who runs in my direction
          G
When the whole world walks away
                     C
You're the God who stands
 G              Am
With wide open arms
                  F                            G
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart
                  C
From the God who stays

Verse 2:
   Am         F
I used to hide
                        C
Every time I thought I let You down
                          Am           F
I always thought I had to earn my way
                           C
But I'm learning You don't work that way

Pre-Chorus:
         Am     G         F            C
'Cause somehow You don't see me like I do
 Am      G           F
Somehow You're still here

Chorus:
                    C
You're the God who stays (You're the God who stays)
                    Em
You're the God who stays (You're the God who stays)
                    F
You're the one who runs in my direction
           G
When the whole world walks away
                     C
You're the God who stands (You're the God who stands)
 G              Am
With wide open arms (With wide open arms)
                   F                           G
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart
                   C
From the God who stays
