I really believe

You never go

Here and now

You always stay

“I love you” could not be said

a better way
Chorus:

From prophets until today

I am forgiven

Trading earth with heaven
You took my place

e|----77-----77-----77-----------------|
B|-------------------------------------| 2X
G|-9-9--11-11--12-12--12-12---16/9-9---|
D|-------------------------------------| listen to song for
A|-7-7--9--9—--10-10--10-10---14/7-7---| strum patterns
E|-------------------------------------|
(capo is still in effect here, so while this shows
E F# G B, it’s actually F G G# C in the song)
Verse 3
Because You redeem
I know what’s to come
Everything I could lose here
You’ve already won
So You have my surrender
with passion obey
“I love you” could not be said
a better way
