[Verse 1]
Ebm                            F#
Our life began like any other man,
Bbm/C#
held beneath a mother's loving gaze
G#m/B
And somewhere between now and then
Bbm/C#                         G#m
I lost the man I could have been
                            Bmaj7
Took ev'rything that wasn't mine to take
                            C#sus
But love believes that it is not too late
 
 
[Verse 2]
Ebm                            Ebm/F#
Only one of us deserves this cross,
Bbm/C#
our suffering that belongs to me
     Bmaj7                         Bbm/C#
And deep within this man I hang beside
                                   G#m
Is the place where shame and grace collide
                        Bmaj7
And it's beautiful agony
                                C#sus
that love believes it's not too late for me
 
 
[Chorus 1]
                  F#                C#sus
This is how love wins ev'ry single time,
          C#           Ebm
and climbing high up - on a tree
          B                F#/C#
Where someone else should die,
C#/F
this is how love heals the deepest part of you
                 Ebm                           B
Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds,
                 C#                     Bbm
this is how love says Standing at the door,
           Ebm                           B
 you don't have to be who you've been before
   F#/Bb                           G#m
Silenced by His voice, death can't speak again,
B                   Ebm
this is how love wins

[Verse 3]
Ebm              Ebm/F#          Ebm/Bb
Did you see this moment from the start
Bbm/F                                Bbm7
That we would drink this cup of suffer - ing
Bmaj7     Ebm         Bmaj7  Bbm7/C#                    Bbm7
I wonder did we ever meet,  childhood games and dusty streets
 
 
[Verse 4]
Ebm
For all my many sorrows and regrets
Bbm7/F
nothing could compare to just this one
     B/F#                    G#m7
That in the presence of my King
  Bbm7
I cannot fall upon my knees
   Bmaj7                      B/C#
I cannot carry You up to Your throne,
B/C#                            C#
You instead will carry me back home
 
 
[Chorus 1]
                  F#                C#sus
This is how love wins ev'ry single time,
          C#           Ebm
and climbing high up - on a tree
          B                F#/C#
Where someone else should die,
C#/F
this is how love heals the deepest part of you
                 Ebm                B
Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds,
                 C#                       Bbm
this is how love says Standing at the door,
          Ebm                             B
you don't have to be who you've been before
   F#/Bb         G#m
Silenced by His voice, death can't speak again,
 B                Ebm
this is how love wins

[Bridge]
           F#           C#sus/G#
What can wash away my sin,
        C#/G#         F#/Bb                 B/Eb
nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
          F#/C#            Bbm/F
What can make me whole again,
        Ebm            C#/Eb    Bmaj7
nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
 
 
[Chorus 2]
                          C#                   Bbm
'Cause this is what love says standing at the door
         Ebm                         Bmaj7
You don't have to be who you've been before
           G#m                    Bmaj7
Silenced by His death can't speak again,
                  F#
this is how love wins
