Hey, my name is Lauren Daigle.
This is Jason Ingram, and he's going to teach you how to play
How Can It Be on guitar.
I'm going to try.
I'm going to do my best.
So we just wanted to just help worship leaders or anyone
out there who's just maybe wanting to lead the song
or play the song, [G] show an easy way to come [F] around it.
So we wrote the song on piano.
It's on your record on a piano.
[G] But we'll just do it here on guitar in G.
So you sing it in A flat on your record.
And so you could just put a capo wherever you want,
but we'll just do it in G.
And so the song, it's pretty easy.
So the verses are just C, E [D] minor, and D.
And that's all you need for the verses.
[G] And the chorus is a walk up.
And so you want to hear in the bass notes,
whether it's piano or guitar, you
want to hear the walk up from G to A to B to C.
And so what I'll do is I'll do G [F#] like that,
and then I'll do like [Am] an A minor sus.
So [A] keeping this note open, so I'm walking up.
[G] And then that's a G over a B to a C.
So if you just do this, [Em]
you'll get that [G] walk up.
And the chorus is just that over and over [D] again
until the very end of the chorus, you hit a D.
And that's the whole [G] song except for the bridge
is that same G over B and a C [D] and a D.
And that's the bridge.
So it's a very simple song playing guitar and easy
on piano as well.
If I was a part of writing it, it's simple.
Oh, it's common [G] denominator.
So maybe let's give it a go.
I [D]
[G] [D]
[Bm] am guilty.
[D]
[G] Ashamed of what I've [D] done, what I've [G] become.
These hands are dirty.
[D]
[G] I dare not lift [D] them up to the [G] Holy One.
[D] You paid my [Am] cost.
You ride my [G] road.
And you break my chains.
You overcome.
You gave your [Am] life to give me [G] mine.
And you say that I am free.
[D] How can it be?
How can it be?
[Am]
[G] How can it be?
[Em] I've been hiding.
[D]
[G] [Em] Afraid I'll let [D] you down.
Well, inside [G] I doubt that [Em] you can love [D] me.
[G] But [Bm] in your eyes, [D] there's only grace [G] now.
[Bm] [D]
You [G] paid my cost.
[Am]
You ride my road.
[G] And you break my chains.

And though I thought you [D] can make me new,
and from this [G] death I will [D] rise with you,
all the days [D] reaching out for me.
[G] Yes, how can [D] it [G]
[D] be?
[G] You paid my [Am] cost.
You ride my road.
[G] You break my chains.
You overcome, Lord.
