[Verse 1]
I used to Fshake You like an 8-ball
I used to Cshoot You like a gun
I used to Dmhold You like a hammer
Try to nBbail down everyone
I used to Fkeep You in a steeple
I used to Cbind You in a book
I used to Dmtake You like prescription
Without knBbowing what I took
[Chorus]
And now CI just don't bDmuy in it anymoBbre
No, I've trCied and I've trDmied to know eBbverything for sure
But I Cfind I know Dmless as I've cBbome to know You more
You're not Dmwho I thought You weCre
PraiBbse the LordDm  C  
PraiBbse the LordDm  C  
[Verse 2]
Your love's an Focean, not a river
A symphoCny, not just a song
I don't think Dmeverybody's right
I think we Bboften get it wrong
I think that Fwhen we get to Heaven
We're gonna Claugh when we can see
How haDmrd we try to make it
And how eBbasy it should be
[Chorus]
And so CI just don't bDmuy in it anymoBbre
No, I've trCied and I've trDmied to know eBbverything for sure
But I fCind I know leDmss as I've Bbcome to know You more
You're not Dmwho I thought You weCre
PraiBbse the LordDm  C  
PraiBbse the LordDm  C  
[Verse 3]
'cause FProvidence is endless, and mercy Cis a mystery
And Dmfear is no good reason Cto belBbieve in anything
[Chorus]
So CI just don't bDmuy in it anymoBbre
No, I've trCied and I've trDmied to know eBbverything for sure
But I fCind I know leDmss as I've Bbcome to know You more

[Verse 1]

I used to shake You like an 8-ball

I used to shoot You like a gun

I used to hold You like a hammer

Try to nail down everyone

I used to keep You in a steeple

I used to bind You in a book

I used to take You like prescription

Without knowing what I took

[Chorus]

C Dm Bb

And now I just don't buy in it anymore

C Dm Bb

No, I've tried and I've tried to know everything for sure

C Dm Bb

But I find I know less as I've come to know You more

Dm C

You're not who I thought You were

Bb Dm C

Praise the Lord

Bb Dm C

Praise the Lord

[Verse 2]

Your love's an ocean, not a river

A symphony, not just a song

I don't think everybody's right

I think we often get it wrong

I think that when we get to Heaven

We're gonna laugh when we can see

How hard we try to make it

And how easy it should be

[Chorus]

C Dm Bb

And so I just don't buy in it anymore

C Dm Bb

No, I've tried and I've tried to know everything for sure

C Dm Bb

But I find I know less as I've come to know You more

Dm C

You're not who I thought You were

Bb Dm C

Praise the Lord

Bb Dm C

Praise the Lord

[Verse 3]

And fear is no good reason to believe in anything

No, I've tried and I've tried to know everything for sure

But I find I know less as I've come to know You more

You're not who I thought You were
