Forgiveness from Travelers Hotel by Chris Taylor

FORGIVENESS

VERSE 1:
G
COME TO ME, WHERE I LIVE
C
LOVE ME AS I AM
D7
I WANT TO BE FORGIVEN, I WANT TO FORGIVE
C
MY HEART IS IN A TRAFFIC JAM

VERSE 2:
G
FAILING AND FALLING AND GETTING BACK UP
C
WOUNDED AND FORGETTING TO FIX MYSELF UP
D7
THE GOSPEL OF GRACE FILLS MY EMPTY CUP
C
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

CHORUS:
G C
THERE AINT NOTHING I CAN DO TO EARN YOUR FORGIVENESS
D7 C
GRACE MEANS IM FORGIVEN, EVEN BEFORE I BRUISE MY KNEES
G C
THERE AINT NOTHING I CAN DO TO EARN YOUR FORGIVENESS
D7 C
STOP HATING YOURSELF, START LOVING WHO YOU SEE

ALTERNATE CHORUS:
YOU GOTTA WORK FOR IT, BEG FOR IT
YOU GOTTA CRY FOR IT, DIE FOR IT
YOU GOTTA CLIMB THAT LADDER, NEVER REACH IT
PREACH IT, TEACH IT, NEVER RECEIVE IT

VERSE 3:
G
THE STUMBLING STEPS TO BECOMING REAL
C
SUFFERING, SORROW IS PART OF THE DEAL
D7
MY HUFFING AND PUFFING TO TRY AND CONCEAL
C
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

VERSE 4:
G
AT THIS VERY MOMENT IM ON HOLY GROUND
AMAZING GRACE HOW SWEET THE SOUND
I WASH OFF ALL THE MAKE UP BUT THERES STILL A SAD CLOWN
ALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN

CHORUS:
G C
THERE AINT NOTHING I CAN DO TO EARN YOUR FORGIVENESS
D7 C
GRACE MEANS IM FORGIVEN, EVEN BEFORE I BRUISE MY KNEES
G C
THERE AINT NOTHING I CAN DO TO EARN YOUR FORGIVENESS
D7 C
STOP HATING YOURSELF, START LOVING WHO YOU SEE

ALTERNATE CHORUS:
YOU GOTTA WORK FOR IT, BEG FOR IT
YOU GOTTA CRY FOR IT, DIE FOR IT
YOU GOTTA CLIMB THAT LADDER, NEVER REACH IT
PREACH IT, TEACH IT, NEVER RECEIVE IT

BREAK:
SHA LA LA LA, SHA LA LA LA

VERSE 5:
EYES TO SEE AND HANDS TO TOUCH
A MIND TO SHAPE, A HEART TO LOVE
I HAVE BELIEF, OTHERS DENY
I HAVE SOME HOPE, WHILE OTHERS THEY CRY

I KNOW YOUR GRACE, WHILE OTHERS THEY HURT
THIS IS A GIFT, ITS NOT A REWARD
IVE DONE NOTHING TO EARN IT AND I DONT DESERVE IT
ITS AN ACT OF FAITH, IN LOVE AND GRACE

TO DO THE RIGHT THING, FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS
IS THE NOONDAY DEVIL, OF SPIRITUAL TREASON
THE MORE I KNOW, THE MORE I ALLOW
SO WHERE ARE YOU NOW? WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

YOU HAVE BELIEF, IVE GOT DENAIL
YOU HAVE SOME HOPE, IM LOOKING FOR MY SMILE
YOU KNOW GRACE, ME I JUST HURT
THIS IS A GIFT, NOT A REWARD

CHORUS:
DONT MAKE ME WORK FOR IT, BEG FOR IT
YOU GOTTA CRY FOR IT, DIE FOR IT
YOU GOTTA CLIMB THAT LADDER, NEVER REACH IT
PREACH IT, TEACH IT, NEVER RECEIVE IT

OUTRO:
IM ALWAYS GONNA NEED IT
AND IM ALWAYS GONNA GIVE IT
