  			verse 1 
C             F 
Gerrymandered most of my heart 
G                    C    G    Am 
So you can have your favourite parts 
D 
But politics have stolen my soul 
F                  G 
So now I'm begging make me whole! 


      F 
If it wasn't for You 
      G 
If it wasn't for You 
       C                 D 
I'd be perishing, I'd be torn in two 
F                   G          C 
If it wasn't, if it wasn't for You. 

verse 2 
C                         F 
If your kingdom's for the crippled man 
G                        C      G  Am 
And I've been running as fast as I can 
D 
Then would you break the whole of me? 
F                     G 
So crippled now, I'll be set free 


      F 
If it wasn't for You 
      G 
If it wasn't for You 
       C                 D 
I'd be perishing, I'd be torn in two 
F                   G          C 
If it wasn't, if it wasn't for You. 

Bridge 
Em 
I've come to the end of my rope 
         Am 
And I've found that the rope was a noose 
    Bm                           E 
But before I could string myself up 
                       Am 
There's a knock at the door 
                       Fm 
Should've known it was You 

verse 3 
C                   F 
To run and work the law commands 
G                    C    G   Am 
But gives me neither feet nor hands 
D 
But better news the gospel brings 
F                  G 
It bids me fly and gives me wings 
F                  G 
It bids me fly and gives me wings 


Final Chorus 
      F 
If it wasn't for You 
      G 
If it wasn't for You 
       C                 D 
I'd be perishing, I'd be torn in two 
      F 
If it wasn't for You 
      G 
If it wasn't for You 
      Am 
If it wasn't for You 
      D 
If it wasn't for You 
      F     G    C 
If it wasn't for You
