[Intro]
Fm      C     Ab      Bbadd9          Am      D7      G   


[Verse]
      Fm          C   
We're passengers aboard the train
Ab            Bbadd9         
Silent little lambs amidst the pain
Am        D7           G   
That's no longer good enough
    Fm                C   
And when it's time to speak our faith
   Ab             Bbadd9         
We use a language no one can explain
Am        D7           G   
That's no longer good enough
    E7               F   
And God knows it's a shame
             D7    
'Cause if we look to pass the blame
       C                             Gsus4(Asus4)   G   
We are not the worthy bearers of His name


[Chorus]
        C   
For the world to know the truth
Gm7     
There can be no greater proof
        Bbadd9          F   
Than to live the life,  live the life
           C   
There's no love that's quite as pure
Gm7     
There's no pain we can't endure
      Bbadd9          F   
If we live the life,  live the life
     Dm               Bbadd9         
Be a light for all to see
    Dm                             C   
For every act of love will set you free


There's something beautiful and bold
The power of a million human souls
Come together as one
And each, in turn, goes out to lead
Another by His word, His love, His deed
Now the circle is done
It all comes back to one
For it is He and He alone
Who has lived the only perfect life we've known

Solo:
If you tuned down to the D formation, move everything up 2 frets
