Intro: A D A D 

verse 1 

A                      D        A 
Lord is it possible to get this far 
A                       D       A 
And just now understand who You are? 
A                   D           A 
Feeling foolish yet relieved as well 
A                              D          A 
'Cause what I bought before, I just can't sell 
A   E      D             E 
But now my eyes are open wide 
           D 
If this is wrong 
                 A        
I don't wanna be right 


Pre-Chorus 

A                   D        A 
Could it be that on my worst day 
E                     D        E 
How you love me still will not change 
A                           
What if it's really not about 
     D        A        E            D 
What I do but what you did, oh what if 

Chorus:
