B5                                  F#5      E5
Living in the same town

For all these years
           E5   F#5  G#5
Doing the same old things
                           B5  F#5  E5
Hanging with the same crowd
                     E5  F#5     B5
And it?s starting to get crippling


               B5  F#5   E5
You?ve never felt in place
                           E5  F#5    G#5
And you tell yourself it?s all okay
                  B5   F#5      E5
But something?s different today
                    E5     F#5     B5
You want to run the opposite way


                                       B5   F#5      E5
And it seems like you?re locked in a cage
                        E5  F#5    G#5
And you need to find a way of escape
                                B5   F#5      E5
When everyone is setting the pace
                       E5  F#5    B5
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
                                                 B5   F#5      E5
Oh, and through the cross He conquered the grave
                E5  F#5    G#5
Oh, He ran the opposite way
                                   B5   F#5      E5
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave
                      E5  F#5    B5
So you could run the opposite way
