Verse 1
(D major) (B minor)
My story (G major) is a (D major) simple one to tell,
popped out my momma's tummy
26th of January winter
up (B minor) in Milwaukee
(A flatdim) Twenty minutes later,
peein' on the doctor's shirt
Pops makin' jokes sayin',
"Look, doc, (A major) it works"
So they (D major) tell me anyways,
I can't remember anything before pre- K
It's all blurred (B minor) to gether and (A flatdim) each day
my memory fades like worn leather
But what I can recall is sweeter than warm
(Asus4) weather with a (D major) cool breeze
Saturdays were heav (F sharp major) en,
wake (B flatdim) up watch car (F sharp major) toons from (B minor) 7 straight to 11
Then (A flatdim) it's outside to play
whatever (E major) sport was in season
My cousins they were older so
(B minor) that made me the (Asus4) weak one
But it (D major) didn't stop me,
all we (G major) did was play we (B flatdim) made up our own (B minor) games
Rolled up socks and faked like
They were hand grenades makin'
(D major) forts out of (E major) couches
Mom would (E minor) come home (A major) mad at how
messed up the (G major) house was
I stayed out of trouble
most of the time
But when I (D major) got out of line, (G major)
Pops would smack my behind
The wonder years are over now
somehow I'm fully grown
Still I fully know I didn't make
it this far on my own
There is no (A major) way to count all
of the (D major) mistakes I have (B minor) made
And I wouldn't (G major) be here today (A major)
if it (D major) wasn't for Your (F sharp major) grace
And you're still (G major) here with me, (B flatdim)
You never (B minor) gave up after (E major) all this time
And I (G major) owe it all to You,
You're the (Asus4) one that got me through
You (A major) wrote my story
Looking (D major) back on high school I see
how foolish that I really was
I thought I was the (B minor) coolest
dude (A flatdim) there ever was
'Til (B minor) I went off to (G major) college and learned nobody
(A flatdim) there even (B minor) knew who I was
(Asus4) It all (D major) taught me that I fall short
Like juni (G major) or year when they (D major) cut me even
though I left it all on the court
(G major) I had to learn how to (B minor) fail and to fall
So I could learn how to (A flatdim) get up shake
the dust off walk and stand (A major) tall
Learn (D major) how to call on the one
who's been there through it all
I re (A major) member when I (B minor) got
the phone call
Freshman year in Vir (E major) ginia,
my grandfather passed away
Eight years after my (E minor) grandmother
(Asus4) guess he couldn't (A major) wait
To see (D major) her on the other side
at the funeral I cried
So (F sharp major) hard I never knew I'd hurt
(E major) that bad inside
But over time wounds heal
and all that's remembered
Is the love that we shared
while to (G major) gether forever (A major)
(G major) There is no (A major) way to count all
of the (D major) mistakes I have (B minor) made
And I wouldn't (G major) be here today (A major)
if it (D major) wasn't for Your (F sharp major) grace
And you're still (G major) here with me, (B flatdim)
You never (B minor) gave up after (E major) all this time
And I (G major) owe it all to You,
You're the (Asus4) one that got me through
(A major) You wrote my story (A minor) (C major) (G major)
(D major)
(C major) This is my story and
I wouldn't change a thing
I was (G major) put here for a purpose
this was written by a King
Was (D major) carefully designed,
hand- crafted and made
By the one who's never
made a mistake
I want to (C major) give all it takes (C minor) from here on
(C major) out to make up for lost (G major) time
But what's done is done
and I can't press rewind
(D major) All of my regrets are chasin'
me from behind
But the future's unwritten,
I'm racin' towards the finish line
So (C major) from here on (C minor) out
(C major) everyday (G major) counts
I know Your grace meets me no
matter what the amount
Despite (D major) that I'm hard- hearted,
You gave me a clean slate
And (B minor) promised that You'd (A major) finish
what you've (D major) started
And even though a (C major) four minute long song
can barely scratch (G major) the surface
It's sure enough to show
I'm far from perfect
So thank You for the (D major) past,
help me live in the present
To prepare me for the
future 'til my story ends
