Vamp 1 (4x):
[(] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [)(] [/] [/] [/] [/][/][/][/][/][)]
If I was [Fm]driven
Driven [Bb]ahead by some [Fm]noble i[Ab/Eb]deal
Who took the [Bb/D]wheel?[Db]
[C]If I was [Fm]given
Given a [Bb]glimpse of some [Fm]glorious [Ab/Eb]road
When was it [C/E]sold?
[Bb/D]So caught up in the chase
[C7/E]I keep forgetting my place
Chorus:
[Fm7]Just as I [Bb7]am
I am [Db]stiff-necked and [Fm]proud
[Bb/D]Jesus is for losers
[C7/E]Why do I still play to the crowd?
[Fm7]Just as I [Bb7]am
Pass the [Db]compass, [Fm]please
[Bb/D]Jesus is for losers
[C7/E]I'm off about a hundred degrees
VAMP 1 (4x)
If I was groping
Groping around for some ladder to fame
I am ashamed
If I was hoping
Hoping respect would make a sturdy footstool
I am a fool
Bone-weary every climb
Blindsided every time
Chorus:
Just as I am
I am needy and dry
Jesus is for losers
The self-made need not apply
Just as I am
In a desert crawl
Lord, I'm so thirsty
Take me to the waterfall
VAMP 1 (4x)
And if you're certain
Certain your life is some cosmic mistake
Why do you shake?
And if you're certain
Certain that faith is some know-nothing mask
Why do you still ask?
They don't grade here on a curve
We both know what we deserve
Chorus:
Just as you are
Just a wretch like me
Jesus is for losers
Grace from the blood of a tree
Just as we are
At a total loss
Jesus is for losers
Broken at the foot of the cross
Just as I am
Pass the compass, please
Jesus is for losers
I'm off about a hundred degrees
Just as I am
In a desert crawl
Lord, I'm so thirsty
Take me to the waterfall
VAMP 1 (4x)
This is a lot easier if you capo one fret
and transpose down a half step.
