      [Intro] 
Em   C    G   D   Em   C   D   

[Verse 1]
   Em         C               G           D
  Was twenty-seven surviving my return of Saturn
  Em       C                    D
  A long vacation, didn't sound so bad
    Em        C            G                   D
  Was full of secrets locked up tight like iron mountain
 Em         C               D
   Running on empty so out of gas

[Pre-Chorus 1]
C                   Em
  Thought I wasn't enough
                  G
Found I wasn't so tough
                        D
Laying on the bathroom floor
C                               Em
  We were living on a fault line
                             G
And I felt the fault was all mine
                     D
Couldn't take it anymore

[Chorus]
C       G        D
By the grace of God (There was no other way)
  C       G         D
I picked myself back up (I knew I had to say)
  C        G       D                    C
I put one foot in front of the other and I
              G           D         Em  C
Looked in the mirror and decided to stay
                 G             D        D  Em  C   G  D
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way
                      
[Verse 2]
 Em         C                   G                D
  I thank my sister for keeping my head above the water
 Em         C                  D
   When the truth was like swallowin' sand
     Em        C           G               D 
  Now, every morning, oh there is no more mourning Oh I
    Em          C      D
  Can finally see myself again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
C                   Em
  I know I am enough, 
               G
Possible to be loved
                 D   
It was not about  me
C                    Em                     
  Now I have to rise above
                          G
Let the Universe call the bluff
                           D
Yeah, the truth'll set you free

[Chorus]
C       G        D
By the grace of God (There was no other way)
  C       G         D
I picked myself back up (I knew I had to say)
  C        G       D                    C
I put one foot in front of the other and I
              G           D         Em  C
Looked in the mirror and decided to stay
                 G             D        Em       
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way  

[Bridge]
         Em   C
Of that way, no 
     G     D
That way, no
Em                  C
Not in the name (Of love)
D    
 In the name of love 
     Em7   C        G   D
That way (No) that way, no
G               D
I am not giving up

[Breakdown]
C       G        D
By the grace of God 
  C        G         D 
I picked myself back up 
  C         G       D                    C
I put one foot in front of the other and I
                       D         
Looked in the mirror (Looked in the mirror)

C                       D
I looked in the mirror (Looked in the mirror)

[Chorus]
C       G        D
By the grace of God (There was no other way)
  C       G         D
I picked myself back up (I knew I had to say)
  C        G       D                    C
I put one foot in front of the other and I
              G           D         Em  C
Looked in the mirror and decided to stay
                 G             D        D  Em  C   G (strum once)
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way
