[Intro]
[B] [F#] [G#m] [G#m] [E] [F#]
[B] [F#] [G#m] [E] [F#] [B]
[Verse1]
Living in the s[B]same town[F#]town [G#m] For all these years
Doing the [G#m]same [E]old [F#]things
Hanging with the s[B]same cro[F#]crowd [G#m]
And it’s starting to get cr[E]cripp[F#]ippl - [B]ing
You’ve never f[B]felt [F#]in p[G#m]place
And you tell yourself it’s [G#m]all [E]o - [F#]kay
But something’s d[B]iffe[F#]rent to[G#m]day
You want to run the [E]oppo[F#]opposite [B]way
[Chorus1]
And it seems like you’re l[B]locked [F#]in a [G#m]cage
And you need to find a [G#m]way [E]of es[F#]escape
When everyone is [B]sett[F#]setting the [G#m]pace
It’s okay to run the [E]oppo[F#]opposite w[B]way
[Verse2]
The Father sent His S[B]Son down[F#]down [G#m] The light of men
The cross He bore was [G#m]cripp[E]crippl - [F#]ing
Rejected in His [B]own town[F#]town [G#m]
They couldn’t see the [E]sun [F#]shin[B]shining
He knelt in the g[B]garden [F#]and p[G#m]prayed
Father, let this cup [G#m]pass f[E]from [F#]me
It’s not Your will [B]for [F#]me to s[G#m]stay
Your will for me is the [E]oppo[F#]opposite [B]way
[Chorus2]
And it seemed like He was l[B]locked [F#]in a [G#m]cage
And He couldn’t find a [G#m]way [E]of es[F#]escape
But through the cross He [B]conq[F#]conquered the [G#m]grave
My Jesus ran the [E]oppo[F#]opposite w[B]way
[Instrumental]
[B] [F#] [G#m] [G#m] [E] [F#]
[B] [F#] [G#m] [E] [F#] [B]
[Ending]
Oh, and through the cross He [B]conq[F#]conquered the [G#m]grave
Oh, He ran the [G#m]oppo - [E]site [F#]way
Yeah, through the cross He [B]conq[F#]conquered the [G#m]grave
So you could run the [E]oppo[F#]opposite w[B]way
