I Can't Save Myself

Tom: Eb

[Intro] G

G
No one can accuse me on not trying
Em
To make the most of this hand I've been dealt
G
No one can accuse me of not trying
Em
To move past all the pain and fear I've felt
C                    Em
Turns out in the end that all my best attempts
G                                    D
Could never keep my weary heart from drowning

C
I can't save myself
Em
I can't save myself
    G
But coming to my rescue
   D
Is what you do so well
    C
And when my strength has failed
    Em
The story I will tell
            G
Is how your love refused
                  D
To leave me on my own
                     C
When I couldn't save myself
Em    G     D
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

     G
I'm sure you've spent a lot of time just waiting
    Em
For me to wave the flag and just give up
    G
And patiently you've waited with sweet mercy
Em
Knowing my best wasn't good enough
C
I don't know why you stay
        Em
Why you love me this way
  G                               D         D
I sure want you to know that I am grateful, grateful

C
I can't save myself
Em
I can't save myself
    G
But coming to my rescue
   D
Is what you do so well
    C
And when my strength has failed
    Em
The story I will tell
            G
Is how your love refused
                  D
To leave me on my own
                     C
When I couldn't save myself
Em     G      D
Oh oh, oh, oh oh

C                    Em
Turns out in the end all my best attempts
G                                    D
Could never keep my weary heart from drowning
  C
I don't know why you stay
        Em
Why you love me this way
  G                               D         D
I sure want you to know that I am grateful, grateful

C
I can't save myself
Em
I can't save myself
     G
But coming to my rescue
   D
Is what you do so well
    C
And when my strength has failed
     Em
The story I will tell
            G
Is how your love refused
                  D
To leave me on my own
                     C
When I couldn't save myself
Em     G       D
Oh oh, oh, oh oh
                     C
When I couldn't save myself
Em     G       D
Oh oh, oh, oh oh

    G        D          Em G
So turn your eyes upon Je-sus
     C           Am        D
Look full in his wonderful face
        G                         C          Em
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
       G            D         G
In the light of his glory and grace
