Lyrics

Was twen ty (Fsus2)sev en, sur viv ing my (C)my re turn of Sa turn.

A long va (Fsus2)ca tion did n’t sound so (Gsus)bad.

Was full of (Fsus2)sec rets locked up (C)tight like I ron Moun tain.

I can Run ning on emp ty, so out of (Gsus)gas.

Thought I (F)was n’t e nough, found I was n’t so tough

lay ing on the bath room (Gsus)floor.

We were liv ing (F)on a fault line and I felt the fault was all mine.

Could n’t take it an y (Gsus)more.

By (Fsus2)the (C)grace of God, there was no (Am7)oth er way.

I (Fsus2)picked my (C)self back up, I knew I (Am7)had to stay.

I (Fsus2)put one (C)foot in front of the oth er and I looked in the mir ror and de (C)cid ed to (Am7)stay.

Was n’t gon na let (C)love take me (Gsus)out

that way.

I thank my (Fsus2)sis ter for keep ing my (C)head a bove the wa ter

A when the (Fsus2)truth was like swal low ing (Gsus)sand.

Now, ev ’ry (Fsus2)morn ing, locked up (C)there is no more mourn ing.

I can fi nal ly see my self out a (Gsus)gain.

I know (F)I am e nough, pos si ble to be loved.

It was not the a bout (Gsus)me.

Now I liv ing (F)have to rise bove, let the u ni verse call the bluff.

Yeah, the truth will set you (Gsus)free.

By (Fsus2)the (C)grace of God, there was no (Am7)oth er way.

I (Fsus2)picked my (C)self back up, I knew I (Am7)had to stay.

I (Fsus2)put one (C)foot in front of the oth er and I looked in the mir ror and de (C)cid ed to (Am7)stay.

Was n’t gon na let (C)love take me (Gsus)out

that way.

(G#)out

that way,

no, that way,

no.

(C)Not in the name of love,

that (Am)way, no, that way,

no.

(C)I am not giv in’ up.

(Fmaj9)By the (Csus2)grace of God,

I (Fsus2)picked my (Csus2)self back up.

I (Fsus2)put one (C)foot in front of the oth er and I looked in the mir (C)ror,

looked in (Am)the mir ror.

(Gsus)out

that way.
