Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
C

Verse 1:
 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

Pre-Chorus:
      Am  G     F      C
Oh, but somehow You don't see me like I do
 Am   G      F
Somehow You're still here

Chorus:
          C
You're the God who stays
          Em
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

Verse 2:
  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

Pre-Chorus:
     Am   G     F      C
'Cause somehow You don't see me like I do
 Am   G      F
Somehow You're still here

Chorus:
          C
You're the God who stays (You're the God who stays)
          Em
You're the God who stays (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 (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
