My friend Richard figured this out. Listen to the song to get the

rhythm.

Intro (play twice): G Gmaj7 Em C6

G Gmaj7 Em C6 (single strum last

two chords)

Verse 1:

G Gmaj7 Em C6

I wear my seatbelt in the car / I buckle up for safety

G Gmaj7 C6

I run for cover from the storm

G Gmaj7

Em C6

I wear a Band-Aid on my knee / I look both ways when crossing

G Gmaj7 C6

And I flee any danger I can see

Lead-in 1:

D C6

And if I try each day to save my life in every way I can

D Am C6

How could I understand the way You died for me?

Chorus 1:

A E7

'Cause I don't know if I could even if I think I would

D

If I had to die for someone

A

If I had to die for someone else

A E7

How could I ever give my life to set the guilty free

D

When I cannot imagine

A Gbm G Gmaj7 Em

If I had to die for someone else like me

C G Gmaj7 C6 (2 strums)

Someone else like me

Verse 2:

I keep away from falling rocks and I don't play with matches

I lock the door, I don't know why

It seems to me, I'm much to old to wear a scarf out in the cold

But I want to live until I die

Lead-in 2:

I guess I love my life I little more than I should love it

And if I had to, I don't know if I could lay it down

Chorus 2:

A E7

'Cause I don't know if I could even if I think I would

D

If I had to die for someone

A

If I had to die for someone else

A E7

How could I ever give my life to set the guilty free

D

When I cannot imagine

A Gbm

If I had to die for someone else like me

Bridge:

E7 D Gbm

And I am glad that You are not at all like me

E G

'Cause You laid down Your life

Gbm

And did it willingly

E D

It still amazes me to know

C

It's me that You were thinking of

D G Gmaj7 Em

C6 (play twice)

No one else could have a greater love

G Gmaj7 Em C6 G Gmaj7 C6

A greater love

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 3:

A E7

'Cause I don't know if I could even if I think I would

D

If I had to die for someone

A

If I had to die for someone else

A E7

How could I ever give my life to set the guilty free

D

When I cannot imagine

A Gbm A E7

If I had to die for someone else like me

D

If I had to die for someone

A A E7

Could I die for someone?

D

If I had to die for someone

A A E7

Could I die for someone?
