G... C... G/B.... C.... C/D
Verse 1:
                      G2    C/G
Time measured out my days
                  G2    C/G
Life carried me along
D/F#             C                 B   -/Eb
In    my soul I yearned to follow God
             Em           /D
But knew I'd never be so strong
                       Eb
I looked hard at this world
             F     -/A               Bb     -/D
To know how heaven        should be gained
                     Eb
Just to end where I began
       /D   Cm     -/Bb            Dsus - D
Where human effort       is all in vain
Chorus 1:
G                C      D/C
Were it not for grace
                G     D/F#   Em
I can tell you where  I'd    be
/D                  Am7                C/D    (/D-/E-D/F#)
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
           G         D/F#     Em7
With my salvation up       to me
       /D                  C    D/C
And I know how that would go
                    Ddim - Esus - E/G#
The battles I would face
         Am7         G/B        C
Forever running but losing the race
/D               G      C/G... D/F#... Em... C/D
Were it not for grace
Verse 2:
                    G2      C/G
So here is all my praise
                      G2     C/G
Expressed with all my heart
G       /B       C                 B   -/Eb
Offered to the Friend who took my place (ooohhh)
           Em                 /D
And ran a course I could not start
                    Eb
And when He saw in full
          F     -/A                  Bb     -/D
Just how much         His love would cost
                        Eb
He still went the final mile
    /D         Cm     -/Bb                     Dsus - D
Between me and heaven        so I would not be lost
Verse 2:
G                C      D/C
Were it not for grace
                G     D/F#     Em
I can tell you where       I'd be
/D                  Am7                C/D    (/D-/E-D/F#)
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
           G      D/F#     Em7
With my salvation  up   to me
       /D                 C    D/C
And I know how that would go
                    Ddim - Esus - E/G#
The battles I would face (ooohhh)
         Am7         G/B        C
Forever running but losing the race
                 Em    G/D
Were it not for grace
         Am7         G/B        C
Forever running but losing the race
                  G    C/G...D/F#...Em...Am7/D...C/D...G
Were it not for grace
(ooohhh, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm)
