[Verse 2]
Well, I reGalize that falDling doCwn ain't gracGefulD  C  
But I thGank the Lord that faDlling's Cfull of grGaceD  C  
SGometimes I taDke my eCyes off JeGsus
And you knDow that's all it tGakes
[Chorus]
Well I wDish that I could say that at the cBmlose of every day
I was hCappy with the wDay that I'm behaGving
'Cause JCob, he chased and anDswer
The wGise men chased the ChiCld
JaFcob chased her A#14 years and he
CapCtured Rachel's smDile
And MCoses chased the PromDised Land
JoGseph chased a drCeam
DEmavid, he chased GodD's own heaCrt
All I ever seem to chase is CmeG  D  C

G D C
[Chorus]
So I wDish that I could say that at the cBmlose of every day
I was hCappy with the wDay that I'm behaGving
'Cause SaCmson chased a wDoman
And he chGased the PhilistCines
I'm nFot quite sure what JA#onah chased
But I kCnow he caught the sDea
CaCin, he chased the harDvest
While AGbel chased the beCasts
DEmavid, he chased GodD's own heCart
All I ever seem to chase is DmeBm  
C D G D
[End Chorus]
And JCesus chased the moDneymen
And he chaGsed his Father's wCill
He chFased my sin to CaA#lvary
And he caCught it on that hDill
SaCul, he chased the ChriDstians
Till his blGindness made him Csee
EmDavid, he chased GodD's own heaCrt
All I ever seem to chase is mCe
