Verse 1
B F# G#m
Living in the same town for all these years
E F# B F# G#m
Doing the same old things hanging with the same crowd
E F# B
And it's starting to get crippling
B F# G#m
You've never felt in place

And you tell yourself it's all okay
B F# G#m
But something's diff'rent today
E F# B
You want to run the opposite way
Chorus 1

And it seems like you are locked in a cage

And you need to find a way of escape
B2 F# G#m7
When ev'ryone's setting the pace
E2 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
E F#
The cross He bore was crippling
B F# G#m
Rejected in His own town
E F# B
And they couldn't see the sun shining
B F# G#m
He knelt in the garden and prayed
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's the opposite way
Chorus 2

And it seemed like He was locked in a cage
E F#
And He couldn't find a way of escape

But through the cross He conquered the grave

My Jesus ran the the opposite way
Bridge
B F# G#m E F# B F# G#m E F# B
Oh
B F# G#m
Oh and through the cross He conquered the grave

Oh He ran the opposite way

And through the cross He conquered the grave

So you could run the opposite way
