Verse 1

C5      E5                 A5
    So I heard it from a friend
                 G5                    F5       G5
That there was this guy that I should talk to
C5           E5             A5
    So you let me in
      G5                  F5                G5
Old big doors underneath a crucifix statue
C5      E5                A5
    So I explained to you
      G5               F5              G5
I was having troubles getting through
C5             E5                A5
    And I was thinking of my end
        G5                  F5         G5
It was just the sky I kept looking to      You said:


Chorus

F5 
    I'm on your side
G5                        C5  E5  A5  G5  
I thanked you and I cried
F5      G5
    I almost died


Verse 2

C5         E5            A5
    I was making strides
      G5                F5     G5
I was showing up every Sunday
C5            E5             A5
    But I was still confused
          G5              F5        G5
About the pain that had invaded me
C5                 E5       A5
    And I'm still wondering
      G5                 F5      G5
If my souls worth it to anybody
C5        E5       A5
    You assured me
         G5                  F5         G5
That the congregation would hear me...They said


Chorus 2

F5
    We're on your side,
           G5             C5  E5  A5  G5  
There's an unconditional kingdom
F5
    That stands up high
          G5              C5  E5  A5  G5
He   let's all believers in
F5               G5
    Through the forgiveness of sins


Verse 3

C5        E5              A5                G5           F5        G5
    So I explained to you     what was the cause of my suffering
C5                E5       A5
    See it was a while ago
             G5                        F5           G5
There was an alleyway and there was a group of men
C5                 E5     A5
    And when they hurt me
     G5                       F5         G5
They whispered that the gays had to pay
C5             E5     A5
    When they beat me
          G5         F5         G5
All of my worth was taken away
C5         E5        A5
    See I needed you
        G5                      F5          G5
And you know another lords own way through
C5             E5      A5
    But I was unfolded
    G5                          F5          G5
I believed there was something he could do
C5                E5            A5
    But you just hung your head
                  G5                    F5       G5
Told me it was the door I needed to be going to
C5                    E5        A5
   "Son there's just principles
         G5                        F5     G5 
I cannot be the one who helps you"        You said:


Chorus 3:

F5
    I'm not your side
                G5                   C5  E5  A5  G5 
You're probably paying for your sins 
F5   
    I don't understand your kind
G5
    It isn't mine....(pause) 


Verse 4:

C5               E5                    A5 
    Father your cold hearts a smoking gun
     G5                                   F5           G5
Your cross ain't no where I want to hang my hope from
C5                 E5                 A5
    There's still something I half believe
           G5                          F5        G5
And that's why I'm leaving this world behind me
C5          E5       A5            G5                       F5      G5
    See my sexuality   don't have nothing to do with my integrity
C5          E5                A5
    When I get into that land
     G5                     F5              G5
I'll lead with the one who wears the crown    He will say:


Chorus 4:

F5
    I'm on your side
F#5
    The side that's kind
G5
    Judge not what's right
F#5                                G5 (D?wnward strum from 6'th to 3rd string)
    In time you'll find   you left
