Key: E major
Verse 1
F
Dm
Bb
F
My story is a simple one to tell,
popped out my momma's tummy
26th of January winter
peein' on the doctor's shirt
Pops makin' jokes sayin',
I can't remember anything before pre- K
Dm
Bdim
It's all blurred to gether and each day
my memory fades like worn leather
But what I can recall is sweeter than warm
Csus4
F
weather with a cool breeze
Dbdim
A
Dm
wake up watch cartoons from 7 straight to 11
My cousins they were older so
Dm
Csus4
that made me the weak one
Bb
Dbdim
Dm
all we did was play we made up our own games
Rolled up socks and faked like
They were hand grenades makin'
F
G
forts out of couches
Gm
C
Mom would come home mad at how
I stayed out of trouble
most of the time
F
Bb
But when I got out of line,
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
F
Dm
of the mistakes I have made
Bb
C
And I wouldn't be here today
F
A
if it wasn't for Your grace
Bb
Dbdim
And you're still here with me,
Dm
G
You never gave up after all this time
Csus4
You're the one that got me through
how foolish that I really was
Dm
Bb
'Til I went off to college and learned nobody
Bdim
Dm
there even knew who I was
Csus4
F
It all taught me that I fall short
Bb
F
Like junior year when they cut me even
though I left it all on the court
Bb
Dm
I had to learn how to fail and to fall
Bdim
So I could learn how to get up shake
who's been there through it all
C
Dm
I remember when I got
the phone call
my grandfather passed away
Csus4
C
guess he couldn't wait
at the funeral I cried
But over time wounds heal
and all that's remembered
Is the love that we shared
Bb
C
while together forever
Bb
C
There is no way to count all
F
Dm
of the mistakes I have made
Bb
C
And I wouldn't be here today
F
A
if it wasn't for Your grace
Bb
Dbdim
And you're still here with me,
Dm
G
You never gave up after all this time
Csus4
You're the one that got me through
C
Cm
Eb
Bb
You wrote my story
F
I wouldn't change a thing
this was written by a King
hand- crafted and made
By the one who's never
made a mistake
Eb
Ebm
I want to give all it takes from here on
Eb
Bb
out to make up for lost time
But what's done is done
and I can't press rewind
me from behind
But the future's unwritten,
I'm racin' towards the finish line
Eb
Ebm
So from here on out
Eb
Bb
everyday counts
I know Your grace meets me no
matter what the amount
You gave me a clean slate
Dm
C
And promised that You'd finish
It's sure enough to show
I'm far from perfect
help me live in the present
To prepare me for the
future 'til my story ends
