The Story I Tell Cifras

[Intro]
G   | Am        | Am     G   |
    | Am        | Am     G   |
 
[Verse 1]
Am                                        G
I was the harlot sitting down by the well
Am                                       G
I was the leper who was told not to tell
Am
I was so paralysed I never had moved
      N.C.                                                              G
Until four of my friends who wouldn’t give in went and busted up a roof
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                       G
I was the widow who gave up my last dime
Am                                         G
I was the blind man with the mud in his eye
Am
I was the woman known by too many men
         D                                           D
But as I covered my face He uncovered His grace as I heard stones hit the sand
 
[Chorus 1]
 G    Am
Oh, nobody knew the troubles I’d seen, nobody knew my shame
                                                                G
Nobody knew the places I’d been, I didn’t know how to change
Am
But He saw a hope that I did not see, He saw a better way
  G
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell is that
                                G
You don’t even know my name
 
[Verse 3]
Am                                            G
I was the prodigal who was lost but not found
Am                                                  G
I was made saved the day the swine were all drowned
Am
I was the thief who was hung out to die
         D
But the Son of Man looked at my cross I was bearing and decided to give me life
 
[Chorus 1]
 G    Am
Oh, nobody knew the troubles I’d seen, nobody knew my shame
                                                                G
Nobody knew the places I’d been, I didn’t know how to change
Am
But He saw a hope that I did not see, He saw a better way
 
  G
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell is that
 
You don’t even know my name
 
[Bridge]
Am
Nobody nobody
Am
Nobody nobody
Am                  G
Nobody nobody even knows my name
 
[Verse 4]
Am                                               G
I am the homeless wandering round on your street
Am                                          G
I live across the world with nothing to eat
Am
I’m locked in prison with chains on my dreams
              D                                                        D
And when you see me every day but you look the other way it’s like a slap across my cheek
 
[Chorus 2]
 G    Am                                   G
Oh, nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen, nobody knows my shame
D                                    G
Nobody knows the places I’d been, I don’t know how to change
Am                                    G
But He sees a hope that I do not see, He sees a better way
         D
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell is that
     G
You don’t even know my name
            D
You see the unbelievable thing about the story I tell is that
     G
You don’t even know my name
 
[Outro]
Am
Nobody nobody
Am
Nobody nobody
Am                      G
Nobody nobody even knows my name
Am
Nobody nobody
Am
Nobody nobody
Am                      G
Nobody nobody even knows my name
