Verse 1:                   B^b                 B^b/D      E^b             C^m7

                        I was bound by the chains of sin and despair

                        My life was hopeless, no one seemed to care

                        B^b            B^b/D               E^b         F/D   C^m7

Verse 2:                      B^b             B^b/D   E^b                 C^m7

                        When I tried to be holy I  failed so many times

                                F                                      C^m7            B^b

                        And my condemnation gave me no peace of mind

                                B^b             B^b/D              E^b                      C^m7

                        Then I found the answer at the cross when I had been
