Verse 1

C      Em                 Am
    So I heard it from a friend
                 G                    F       G
That there was this guy that I should talk to
C           Em             Am
    So you let me in
      G                  F                G
Old big doors underneath a crucifix statue
C      Em                Am
    So I explained to you
      G               F              G
I was having troubles getting through
C             Em                Am
    And I was thinking of my end
        G                  F         G
It was just the sky I kept looking to      You said:


Chorus

F 
    I'm on your side
G                        C  Em  Am  G  
I thanked you and I cried
F      G
    I almost died


Verse 2

C         Em            Am
    I was making strides
      G                F     G
I was showing up every Sunday
C            Em             Am
    But I was still confused
          G              F        G
About the pain that had invaded me
C                 Em       Am
    And I'm still wondering
      G                 F      G
If my souls worth it to anybody
C        Em       Am
    You assured me
         G                  F         G
That the congregation would hear me...They said


Chorus 2

F
    We're on your side,
           G             C  Em  Am  G  
There's an unconditional kingdom
F
    That stands up high
          G              C  Em  Am  G
He   let's all believers in
F               G
    Through the forgiveness of sins


Verse 3

C        Em              Am                G           F        G
    So I explained to you     what was the cause of my suffering
C                Em       Am
    See it was a while ago
             G                        F           G
There was an alleyway and there was a group of men
C                 Em     Am
    And when they hurt me
     G                       F         G
They whispered that the gays had to pay
C             Em     Am
    When they beat me
          G         F         G
All of my worth was taken away
C         Em        Am
    See I needed you
        G                      F          G
And you know another lords own way through
C             Em      Am
    But I was unfolded
    G                          F          G
I believed there was something he could do
C                Em            Am
    But you just hung your head
                  G                    F       G
Told me it was the door I needed to be going to
C                    Em        Am
   "Son there's just principles
         G                        F     G 
I cannot be the one who helps you"        You said:


Chorus 3:

F
    I'm not your side
                G                   C  Em  Am  G 
You're probably paying for your sins 
F   
    I don't understand your kind
G
    It isn't mine....(pause) 


Verse 4:

C               Em                    Am 
    Father your cold hearts a smoking gun
     G                                   F           G
Your cross ain't no where I want to hang my hope from
C                 Em                 Am
    There's still something I half believe
           G                          F        G
And that's why I'm leaving this world behind me
C          Em       Am            G                       F      G
    See my sexuality   don't have nothing to do with my integrity
C          Em                Am
    When I get into that land
     G                     F              G
I'll lead with the one who wears the crown    He will say:


Chorus 4:

F
    I'm on your side
F#
    The side that's kind
G
    Judge not what's right
F#                                G (D?wnward strum from 6'th to 3rd string)
    In time you'll find   you left
