 Oohhhh


G                    C2
I've read the story, I've seen the movie
G                      C2
I give to charity, and tithe my 10 percent
G                  C2
These I remember, but I so easily forget
D
All these years never heard it like this


                 C2                  G
It should've been me, should've been us
                     D             Em
Should've been there hanging on a cross
            C2                  G
All of this shame, all of these scars
               D
Should've been stains that were never washed
         C2               G
Why do I hide, why do You try
         D              Em
Over and over and over again
                C2
I guess it just leaves me saying thank God
           D
Leaves me saying thank God, thank God
For the should've been

G                   C2
I live a good life, I love a great wife
G                               C2
Our kids are beautiful, we got friends down the street
G                   C2
If I'm so thankful, why do I easily forget
D
That You died for all of this


                 C2                  G
It should've been me, should've been us
                     D             Em
Should've been there hanging on a cross
            C2                 G
All of this pain, all of these scars
                D
Should've been stains that were never washed
         C2               G
Why do I hide, why do You try
         D              Em
Over and over and over again
                 C2
I guess it just leaves me saying thank God
           D
Leaves me saying thank God


         C2
For this heart You changed
      D
This soul you raised
   C2                D
My God for taking my place
Yeah, yeah

Should've been there hanging on a cross
            *C2                 *G
