  			verse 1 
E 
When I was nowhere 
    Emaj7 
You knew where that was 
E7              A 
I never lost my way 

And You were the cause 
E 
When I was no-one 
       Emaj7 
Gonna end it right there 
E7 
You stood behind me 
A                B      G    A    B 
I never knew You cared 

verse 2 
E 
You heard my heart break 
         Emaj7 
Felt the pain of my fall 
E7                           A 
You were there to save me 

And waited for my call 
E 
I lived without You 
     Emaj7 
Like You were not there 
E7 
You never gave up on me 
A                      B    G    A 
I never knew You cared 

Chorus 
E 
Now I hear You 
F# 
Now I see You 
A                    B 
Now I understand 

verse 3 
E 
I wanted everything 
     Emaj7 
That wasn't nailed down 
E7 
I wanted happiness 
A 
But not You around 
E 
You see my weakness 
    Emaj7 
And still You're prepared 
E7 
To let them nail You down 
A 
I never knew You cared 

Bridge 
F#m                   A 
I came to Your arms 
                 E 
From where I was then 
B 
Broken 
F#m             A 
You were crucified 
                         E 
It was for me that You died 
          F# 
You're my pride 
A 
Now I hear You 
B 
Now I see You
