-Verse 1- 
C       G        F 
Well I know the road your on 
C    G                  F 
And where it's leading to 
C      G        F 
There ain't no comming back 
C   G           F 
If you make it through 
Am               G   F 
Well it'll cost you everything 
Am    G          F 
With nothing to show for it 
C    G                     F

The best thing in life 
                    C G F 
Is good for you and me 
 
-Verse 2- 
One thing's for certain 
I have been taught 
The key to heaven 
Just can't be bought 
'Cause the standard is perfection 
And we're all short of it 
But in came Jesus 
And he was above it 
 
-Chorus- 
 
-Bridge- 
Am                 G             F  Riff 
Jesus on the cross paid the penalty 
Am                G          F  Riff 
Offers back to us life eternaly 
Am                  G                 F  Riff 
The choice is up to you just remember this 
Am                         G           F 
No matter what you've done Jesus he forgives
