Verse 2:
	G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)I'm giving up on doing this alone now
	C (x32010@1)Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
	Em (022000@1)         D (xx0232@1)           Am (x02210@1)Em (022000@1)  C (x32010@1)He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
	G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)And this life sentence that I'm serving
	C (x32010@1)I admit that I'm every bit deserving 
	Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)          Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1)But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
