Key: E major

Verse 1
A A 
 
F#m F#m 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
My story is a simple one to tell,
popped out my momma's tummy
26th of January winter
F#m F#m 
 
up in Milwaukee
Ebdim Ebdim 
 
Twenty   minutes later,
peein' on the doctor's shirt
Pops makin' jokes sayin',
E E 
 
"Look, doc, it works"
A A 
 
So they tell me anyways,
I can't remember anything before pre- K
F#m F#m 
 
Ebdim Ebdim 
 
It's all blurred to    gether and each     day
my memory fades like worn leather
But what I can recall is sweeter than warm
Esus4 Esus4 
 
A A 
 
weather  with a cool breeze
C# C# 
 
Saturdays were heaven,
Fdim Fdim 
 
C# C# 
 
F#m F#m 
 
wake up watch cartoons from 7 straight to 11
Ebdim Ebdim 
 
Then it's outside to play
B B 
 
whatever sport was in season
My cousins they were older so
F#m F#m 
 
Esus4 Esus4 
 
that made me the weak     one
A A 
 
But it didn't stop me,
D D 
 
Fdim Fdim 
 
F#m F#m 
 
all we did was play we made up our own games
Rolled up socks and faked like
They were hand grenades makin'
A A 
 
B B 
 
forts out of couches
Bm Bm 
 
E E 
 
Mom would come home mad at how
D D 
 
messed up the house was
I stayed out of trouble
most of the time
A A 
 
D D 
 
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
E E 
 
There is no way to count all
A A 
 
F#m F#m 
 
of the mistakes I have made
D D 
 
E E 
 
And I wouldn't be here today
A A 
 
C# C# 
 
if it wasn't for Your grace
D D 
 
Fdim Fdim 
 
And you're still here with me,
F#m F#m 
 
B B 
 
You never gave  up after all this time
D D 
 
And I owe it all to You,
Esus4 Esus4 
 
You're the one      that got me through
E E 
 
You wrote my story
A A 
 
Looking back on high school I see
how foolish that I really was
F#m F#m 
 
I thought I was the coolest
Ebdim Ebdim 
 
dude there ever was
F#m F#m 
 
D D 
 
'Til I went off to college and learned nobody
Ebdim Ebdim 
 
F#m F#m 
 
there    even knew  who I was
Esus4 Esus4 
 
A A 
 
It all taught me that I fall short
D D 
 
A A 
 
Like junior year when they cut me even
though I left it all on the court
D D 
 
F#m F#m 
 
I had to learn how to fail  and to fall
Ebdim Ebdim 
 
So I could learn how to get      up shake
E E 
 
the dust off walk and stand tall
A A 
 
Learn how to call on the one
who's been there through it all
E E 
 
F#m F#m 
 
I remember when I got
the phone call
B B 
 
Freshman year in Virginia,
my grandfather passed away
Bm Bm 
 
Eight years after my grandmother
Esus4 Esus4 
 
E E 
 
guess    he couldn't wait
A A 
 
To see her on the other side
at the funeral I cried
C# C# 
 
So hard I never knew I'd hurt
B B 
 
that bad inside
But over time wounds heal
and all that's remembered
Is the love that we shared
D D 
 
E E 
 
while together forever
D D 
 
E E 
 
There is no way to count all
A A 
 
F#m F#m 
 
of the mistakes I have made
D D 
 
E E 
 
And I wouldn't be here today
A A 
 
C# C# 
 
if it wasn't for Your grace
D D 
 
Fdim Fdim 
 
And you're still here with me,
F#m F#m 
 
B B 
 
You never gave  up after all this time
D D 
 
And I owe it all to You,
Esus4 Esus4 
 
You're the one      that got me through
E E 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
You wrote my story
A A 
 
G G 
 
This is my story and
I wouldn't change a thing
D D 
 
I was put here for a purpose
this was written by a King
A A 
 
Was carefully designed,
hand- crafted and made
By the one who's never
made a mistake
G G 
 
Gm Gm 
 
I want to give all it takes from here on
G G 
 
D D 
 
out to make up for lost time
But what's done is done
and I can't press rewind
A A 
 
All of my regrets are chasin'
me from behind
But the future's unwritten,
I'm racin' towards the finish line
G G 
 
Gm Gm 
 
So from here on out
G G 
 
D D 
 
everyday counts
I know Your grace meets me no
matter what the amount
A A 
 
Despite that I'm hard- hearted,
You gave me a clean slate
F#m F#m 
 
E E 
 
And promised that You'd finish
A A 
 
what you've started
G G 
 
And even though a four minute long song
D D 
 
can barely scratch the surface
It's sure enough to show
I'm far from perfect
A A 
 
So thank You for the past,
help me live in the present
To prepare me for the
future 'til my story ends
