Matthew West – The God Who Stays (Guitar)

  Am        F                        C
If I were You I would've given up on me by now

                        Am         F
I would've labeled me a lost cause

                           C
'Cause I feel just like a lost cause

  Am         F                              C
If I were You I would've turned around and walked away

                       Am           F
I would've labeled me beyond repair

                        C
'Cause I feel like I'm beyond repair

           Am   G          F            C
Oh, but somehow You don't see me like I do

  Am     G            F
Somehow You're still here

                    C
You're the God who stays

                    C/E
You're the God who stays

                    F
You're the one who runs in my direction

          G
When the whole world walks away

                     C
You're the God who stands

 G              Am
With wide open arms

                  F                            G
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart

                  C
From the God who stays

   Am         F
I used to hide

                        C
Every time I thought I let You down

                          Am           F
I always thought I had to earn my way

                           C
But I'm learning You don't work that way

         Am     G         F            C
'Cause somehow You don't see me like I do

 Am      G           F
Somehow You're still here

                    C
You're the God who stays (You're the God who stays)

You're the God who stands (You're the God who stands)

 G              Am
With wide open arms (With wide open arms)

                   F                           G
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart

                   C
From the God who stays
