VERSE 1
Eb/AbEb/GFmEb
There are times when faith and common sense do not align
Eb/AbEb/GFmEb
When hard core evidence of You is hard to find
Eb/AbEb/GFmEb
And I am silenced in the face of argumenative debate
Eb/AbEb/GFmEb
And it’s a long hill, it’s a lonely climb. Cause they
Gm/C
want proof.
G/B
They want proof of all these mysteries I claim,
F/AAbsus
Cause only fools would want to chant a dead man’s name
CHORUS
Bb
Maybe it’s true, yeah.
EbBbCmAb
I would be a fool for You.
EbBbCmAb
All because You asked me to.
Abm/CbAbm
A simpleton who’s seemingly naive.
BbAbm/Cb
I do believe You came and
DbEb/AbEb/G
Made Yourself a fool for me.
VERSE 2 (same chords)
I admit that in my darkest hours I’ve asked, “What if?”
What if we created some kind of manmade faith like this
Out of good intentions or emotional invention
And after life is through there will be no You.
Cause they want proof of all these miracles I claim,
Cause only fools believe that men can walk on waves.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Ab/CbCm
Unaware of popularity
Abm/CbCm
Unconcerned with dignity
Cm/BbF/A
You made me free.
Ab
That’s proof enough for me.
CHORUS (same chords, different words)
I would be a fool for You.
Only if You asked me to.
A simpleton who’s only thnking of the cause of love.
I will speak Jesus name.
If that makes me craze, they can call me crazed.
I’m happy to be seemingly naive.
I do believe You cam and made Yourself a fool for me.
