I think it's important to mention that Cory plays with funky open chords (see below),
but this is the "easier" way to play and get pretty much the same result.
None of the others really sound right...
Capo 4 for the solo acoustic version (when Cory uses no capo)
or Capo 5 (when he's on capo 1 like the live band version).

[Verse 1]
Am7 G F
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
Am7 G F
You have been so, so good to me
Am7 G F
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
Am7 G F
You have been so, so kind to me (2x)
[Chorus]
Am7 G F C
Oh the overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God
Am7 G F C
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'till I'm found, leaves the ninety nine
Am7 G F C
I couldn't earn it I don't deserve it Still, You give yourself away
Am7 G F C
Oh the overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God
[Verse 2]
Am7 G F
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
Am7 G F
You have been so, so good to me
Am7 G F
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
Am7 G F
You have been so, so kind to me
[Chorus]
Am7 G F C
Oh the overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God
Am7 G F C
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'till I'm found, leaves the ninety nine
Am7 G F C
I couldn't earn it I don't deserve it Still, You give yourself away
Am7 G F C
Oh the overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God
[Bridge]
(Play softly) 2x
Am7 G F C
There's no shadow You won't light up, mountain You won't climb up, coming after me
Am7 G F C
There's no wall You won't kick down, no lie You won't tear down, coming after me
(Play more loudly) 2x
Am7 G F C
There's no shadow You won't light up, mountain You won't climb up, coming after me
Am7 G F C
There's no wall You won't kick down, no lie You won't tear down, coming after me
[Chorus]
Am7 G F C
Oh the overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God
Am7 G F C
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'till I'm found, leaves the ninety nine
Am7 G F C
I couldn't earn it I don't deserve it Still, You give yourself away
Am7 G F C
Oh the overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God
