G
Verse 1:
GNo one can accuse me I'm not trying
To Emmake the most of this hand I've been dealt
GNo one can accuse me I'm not trying
To Emmove past all the pain and fear I've felt
Bridge 1:
CTurns out in the end
That Emall my best attempts
Could Gnever keep my weary heart from Ddrowning
Chorus:
CI can't save myself
EmI can't save myself
But Gcoming to my rescue
Is Dwhat You do so well
And Cwhen my strength has failed
The Emstory I will tell
Is how Your Glove refused to leave me on my Down
When I couldn't save my-Cself

For Emme to wave the flag and just give up
And Gpatiently You've waited with sweet mercy
EmKnowing my best wasn't good enough

Or why You Emlove me this way

And Cwhen my strength has failed
The Emstory I will tell

When I couldn't save my-Cself  
whoEmoooaaaaa  ooGohh   whooDoaaaaa
