Except For Grace

E    F#m  Cm  A B/Eb
Oooh Ooh Oooh!
C#m             B/C#      Amaj7
You've lost it all, your dignity and pride
C#m       B/C#                 Amaj7
A sinking soul swimm'in in the tears you cried
F#m                E/G#              A
Alone and hopeless without a word to say
F#m                      Bsus4 B   Bsus4 B
Cause guilt has taken it all away

[Chorus]
   A/E      E     F#m
Except for grace and your faith
     E/B               B             A/E   E
And knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes
        D6                A/C#              Am/C
There's nothing that can clear your painful past
E/B              F#/Bb          Amaj7 E/G#      F#m
Bear your bitter pain, or could ever take your place
 A/E         E    F#m B/Eb
Except for grace!

[Verse]
C#m        B/C#        Amaj7
We've all stood right where you're at
C#m         B/C#             Amaj7
Facing the shame of faliures and regrets
F#m                      E/G#            A
Leaving us empty, broken, and afraid to dream
F#m                                Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
Cause sin has stripped us clean of everything

[Chorus]
A/E         E     F#m
Except for grace and our faith
     E/B               B             A/E   E
And knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes
        D6                A/C#             Am/C
There's nothing that can clear our painful pasts
E/B             F#m           Amaj7 E/G#    F#m
Bear our bitter pain, or will ever take our place
 A/E         E
Except for grace!

[Bridge]
    B                 H0             C#m
The price is much too high for us to ever pay
A6           E/G#        F#m           Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
We could try forever and find no other way!

[Chorus 3]
A/E         E    F#m
Except for grace and our faith
    E/B                B            A/E  E
And knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes
        D6               A/C#              Am/C
There's nothing that can clear our painful pasts
E/B             F#m           Amaj7 E/G#.   F#m
Bear our bitter pain, or will ever take our place
          Amaj7    E/G#     F#m
(nothing else will take our place)
A/E          E     F#m
Except for grace!
 C#m              A E
Except for grace!
