B                                  F#      E
Living in the same town

For all these years
           E   F#  G#m7
Doing the same old things
                           B  F#  E
Hanging with the same crowd
                     E  F#     B
And it?s starting to get crippling


               B  F#   E
You?ve never felt in place
                           E  F#    G#m7
And you tell yourself it?s all okay
                  B   F#      E
But something?s different today
                    E     F#     B
You want to run the opposite way


                                       B   F#      E
And it seems like you?re locked in a cage
                        E  F#    G#m7
And you need to find a way of escape
                                B   F#      E
When everyone is setting the pace
                       E/B  F#/D#    B
It?s okay to run the opposite way

The Father sent His Son down

The light of men

The cross He bore was crippling

Rejected in His own town

They couldn?t see the sun shining

He knelt in the garden and prayed

Father, let this cup pass from me

It?s not Your will for me to stay

Your will for me is the opposite way

And it seemed like He was locked in a cage

And He couldn?t find away of escape

But through the cross He conquered the grave

My Jesus ran the opposite way
                                                 B   F#      E
Oh, and through the cross He conquered the grave
                E  F#    G#m7
Oh, He ran the opposite way
                                   B   F#      E
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave
                      E/B  F#/D#    B
So you could run the opposite way
