If it were up to me      there'd be an easier road than Calvary

But You saved me  through what I would have seen as a tragedy



Chorus

                     E           B              F#sus4

I used to think that love should never have to bleed

I used to think that life was all about the dream

But love is a mess and life is a death

And you can't escape the cost

Yeah, love is a mess, the story of the cross

                 B  F#/A# E/G#             B F#       E

If it were up to me       I would choose a storybook ending

                  G#m     F#sus4      E

But I would never see the beauty of reality
