But if it’s (C)true

Oh, (Dm7)whoa.

(Am7)Oh.

The pag es of his t’ry,

that it’s nev er the per fect; it’s (G)al ways the ones with the scars that You use.

Oh, it’s the reb els and the (C5)prod i gals,

(F)it’s the hum ble and the (C)weak.

All the mis fit (Am7)he roes You (G)chose tell me (F)there’s hope for (G)sin ners like me.

And now, (F5)I’m all (C)yours.

Oh, (Dm7)whoa.

and there’s a seat at the ta ble just wait ing for you, so (G)come on in (C)side.
