[E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [F] Time [G] measured out [C] my _ _ days, _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] life carried _ me _ _ [G] along. _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ In my [F] soul I _ _ yearned to [A] follow God, _ [E] _ but [Em] knew I'd _ [Am] never be so strong.
_ [A] I looked hard at this [Eb] _ _ [Ab] world to [Fm] learn how _ [Bb] heaven _ _ could be [Eb] gay. _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] Just to [Gm] end where [Ab] I _ [Eb] began, [Ab] _ [Eb] where _ [Fm] human effort _ _ _ is all [Dm] in _ _ _ vain. _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] Were it not [F] for _ grace, _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
I can tell [C] you where _
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] I'd be. _
[A] Wandering down some _ pointless [Dm] _ road [F] to _ nowhere, [G] _
with my _ salvation _ _ up [Am] to me.
_ I know how [F] that would _ go. _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ The battles I [E] would _ _ _ face, _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [A] _ _
forever _ [Dm] running _ but losing [G] the race.
[F] _
Were [G] it not [C] _ for _ grace.
_ _ _ _ _ So _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
here is all my _ [C] _ _
praise, _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] expressed with all my heart.
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ Offered to [F] a _ _ friend who took [D] my _ place, [E] _ _ and [Em] ran a course [Am]
I could not start.
And when he saw [Ab] in full, _ _ _ [Fm] just how [Bb] much his love [Gm] would _ _ _ cost.
_ _ _ _ He [Eb] still went the [Ab] final mile between _ me [Fm] and heaven, [Ab] so I would [Dm] not _ be _ _ _ _ [G] lost. _ _
_ _ Were _ [C] it not [F] for _ _ grace, _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ I can tell you _ [C] where _ [Em] _ _
[Am] I'd be.
_ [A] Wandering down [D] some _ [Dm] pointless road [F] to nowhere, _ [G] _ with my _ _ [C] salvation _ _ [G] up to [Am] me.
_ [A] I know how that [F] would go. _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ The battles I [E] would _ _ _ _ _ face, [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ forever [Dm] _ running [F] but losing [G] the _ race.
[F] _ [G] Were it [Am] not _ for _ grace.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Forever [Dm] running [D] _ _ _ [F]
but losing [G] the race. _
_ [F] Were [G] it not _
_ _ _ [C] for _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ grace.
