 Intro: G, Cadd9

 Verse 1:

G (320003@1)                                     Cadd9 (x32030@1)We're both like Simon we still live in a state of denial
              G (320003@1)                                  Cadd9Although (x32030@1)we'd both like to go to Heaven, We feel surprised about the trial 
          G (320003@1)                  Cadd9But (x32030@1)the suff'ring Christ did accomplished somethin'
         G (320003@1)              Cadd9And (x32030@1)the worst all turned out right
          D (xx0232@1)                      CGo (x32010@1)and find out in Hebrews chapter 5 verses 7 through 9
You see

CHORUS
G (320003@1)                 Cadd9Every (x32030@1)crown has its thorns
           G (320003@1)                Cadd9Just (x32030@1)like every life has its cross
          G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)               C (x32010@1)       GJust (320003@1)like every choirboy sings some sad, sad songs
                     CEvery (x32010@1)crown has its thorns ... it does

Verse 2:
G (320003@1)                                                Cadd9A (x32030@1)Christian needs to take his cross, take it up and hit the road
            G (320003@1)                                                Cadd9Yeah, (x32030@1)'cause Jesus said lots of times that we should do it and  He should know 
       G (320003@1)        Cadd9 (x32030@1)         G (320003@1)            Cadd9But (x32030@1)I wonder - as He walked, If He ever felt like quittin'
        D (xx0232@1)                                        CYet (x32010@1)I know we wouldn't be here right now if Christ
Took a different road than Calvary 

[Chorus]

  Em (022000@1)            D (xx0232@1)                  C (x32010@1)               GThough (320003@1)I'm in a trial now, Christ can still feel all my pain.
 Em (022000@1)               D (xx0232@1)                         C (x32010@1)                 
Like the nails that cut through and bruised Him, Cause the scars - Christ's 
         Gscars (320003@1)remain

Verse 3:
   G (320003@1)                                                  Cadd9I (x32030@1)know He could have saved His life that night if Christ    chose to run away
G (320003@1)                                Cadd9 (x32030@1) Instead of takin' off - He chose  To take the narrow way.
             G (320003@1)            Cadd9 (x32030@1)         G (320003@1)                  Cadd9And (x32030@1)now I'm Heaven bound and born anew, And man I never had that much to lose
    D (xx0232@1)                                 CI'm (x32010@1)here to bear my cross in life, And to see Him on the other side - because
