Intro

Verse 1
              Bm         D      G / D
It's not a flag on a field
              Bm           D      G / D
It's not a sign in my yard
          Bm            D      
Not a cause that I join
          G                D
Not a phrase on a coin
           Bm            D              G / D
It's the change in my heart
(no musical accompaniment) 
Mercy and grace and compassion
They're only words without action


Chorus 1

         Bm                D        G               D
CUZ THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THIS WORLD

Verse 2
(no musical accompaniment)
Might be the pain that you share
                     Bm              D         G / D
Might be the time that you spend
           Bm                D      
Or the war you don't fight
             G                      D
Backing down from your pride
          Bm  D          G / D
After all        in the end

Bridge
      G
My life wasn't changed by an argument
        Bm
That never would have never been enough
       G                                                E7
My life was changed by the evidence of love
         Bm     D               G / D
Your hands   that were open 
             Bm      D               
Reaching out to my broken heart
