No capo
[Verse]
G Em
Sometimes I, I just want to close my eyes
C
And act like everyone's alright
G D/F#
When I know they're not
G Em
This world needs God, but it's easier to stand and watch
C
I could pray a prayer and just move on
G D
Like nothing's wrong
C
But I Refuse
[Chorus]
G
I don't want to live like I don't care
D/F#
I don't want to say another empty prayer
C G
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
D/F#
To do what God has called me to do myself
C D
I could choose not to move
G
But I refuse
[Verse]
G Em
I can hear the least of these, crying out so desperately
C G D/F#
And I know we are the hands and feet of You, oh God
G Em
So if You say move, it's time for me to follow through
C
And do what I was made to do
G D/F#
And show them who You are
[Chorus]
G
I don't want to live like I don't care
D/F#
I don't want to say another empty prayer
C G
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
D/F#
To do what God has called me to do myself
C D
I could choose not to move
G
But I refuse
[Bridge]
Em D G C
I refuse to stand and watch the weary and lost cry out for help
Em D G C
I refuse to turn my back and try and act like all is well
Em D G C
I refuse to stay unchanged, to wait another day to die to myself
Em D
I refuse to make one more excuse
[Chorus]
G
I don't want to live like I don't care
D/F#
I don't want to say another empty prayer
C G
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
D/F#
To do what God has called me to do myself
C D
I could choose not to move
G
But I refuse
