[Intro]
B F# G#m
G#m E F#
B F# G#m
E F# B
[Verse 1]
B F# G#m
Living in the same town For all these years
G#m E F#
Doing the same old things
B F# G#m
Hanging with the same crowd
E F# B
And it’s starting to get crippl - ing
B F# G#m
You’ve never felt in place
G#m E F#
And you tell yourself it’s all o - kay
B F# G#m
But something’s different today
E F# B
You want to run the opposite way
[Chorus 1]
B F# G#m
And it seems like you’re locked in a cage
G#m E F#
And you need to find a way of escape
B F# G#m
When everyone is setting the pace
E F# B
It’s okay to run the opposite way
[Verse 2]
B F# G#m
The Father sent His Son down The light of men
G#m E F#
The cross He bore was crippl - ing
B F# G#m
Rejected in His own town
E F# B
They couldn’t see the sun shining
B F# G#m
He knelt in the garden and prayed
G#m E F#
Father, let this cup pass from me
B F# G#m
It’s not Your will for me to stay
E F# B
Your will for me is the opposite way
[Chorus 2]
B F# G#m
And it seemed like He was locked in a cage
G#m E F#
And He couldn’t find a way of escape
B F# G#m
But through the cross He conquered the grave
E F# B
My Jesus ran the opposite way
[Instrumental]
B F# G#m
G#m E F#
B F# G#m
E F# B
[Ending]
B F# G#m
Oh, and through the cross He conquered the grave
G#m E F#
Oh, He ran the oppo - site way
B F# G#m
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave
E F# B
So you could run the opposite way
