Bb   Eb   Cm F/A

[Verse 1]
Bb
It happened so long ago
  Ebmaj7
I cried out for mercy back then
Gm
I plead the blood of Jesus
Eb         F     Gm      F/A
Begged Him to forgive my sins
Bb
But I still can't forget it
Eb
It just won't go away
   Gm
So I wept again
Bb
"Lord, wash my sin"
    Eb               F
But this is all He'd say

[Chorus]
Bb          F/A
  What sin, what sin
            Gm              Bb/F             Eb   F
  That's as far away as the east is from the west
Bb          F/A
  What sin, what sin
         Gm            Bb/F          Eb
  It was gone the very minute you confessed
                Fsus            Bb       Cm7/F
  Buried in the sea of forgetfulness

[Verse 2]
Bb
The heaviest thing you'll carry
     Eb
Is a load of guilt and shame
Gm
You were never meant to bear them
   Eb       F     Gm     F/A
So let them go in Jesus' name
Bb
Our God is slow to anger
Eb
And quick to forgive our sin
Gm                  Bb
So let Him put them under the blood
      Eb            Fsus    F
Don't bring them up again

'Cause He'll just say

(Repeat Chorus)

[Bridge] (much louder)
Bb   F/A   Gm   Bb/F   Eb Eb/D

Cm                Bb/D          Eb
Oh, Lord please deliver me
                  Bb/D   Cm
From my accusing memory
                 Bb/D      Eb
Nothing makes me weep this way
            Fsus          F
Than when I hear You say
