Intro: G5 D2  Am7  G/B C2  G5 D2  Am7  
 
G5                   D2 
  Walking down the road this life is on 
Am7              G/B C2 
   The narrow path I    try to stay 
G5              D2             Am7 
   But I must confess I have a tendency to stray 
G5               D2 
    I?d love to call it a mistake 
Am7          G/B   C2 
    A mo-men ? tar - y lapse of faith 
G5               D2          Am7   G/B      C     
       G/B 
    But the truth is sometimes I   feel like I'm be-ing dragged away 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Am7                  G/B 
   By the other side   that people never see 
F2                              C  
   A war is on between the good and bad inside of me 
 
 
Am7           G           Em7         D 
Why do I   do all the things that I  do 
          G           D            C2 
When I want to do what is right 
Am7          Em7             D    C2 
  Change this wicked heart of mine 
        G5             D2         Am7      Intro-chords 
Let me walk with you in the new life 
 
 
G5             D2 
  So what will ever put an end 
Am7         G/B C2 
    To my re-cur - ring bout with sin 
G5             D2             Am7 
   It seems I'm always at a loss for a way to win 
G5               D2 
   When what I really need to do 
Am7  G/B       C2 
   Is to   con - front it with the truth 
G5              D2                      Am7    
G/B            C        G/B 
   And let Your words of life sink in   and make my mind brand   new 
 
Pre-Chorus 2 
Am7                    G/B 
     A transformation     that happens over time 
F2                       C  
     Is the product of a renewed mind 
 
Bridge 
F5         C/E F5  C/E  F5           C/E  
   Create in   me   a   clean heart 
F5 C/E F5    G    Am7/G      G Am7/G 
Place Your Spirit deep inside 
F5      C/E F5  C/E  F5        
    Capture  e ? ver - y   thought 
C/E F5    C/E F5  C2 
       'Til there's no    place left to hide 
Am7           D                 Am7 G  Em  D  G D  / C /  
     No place    to hide from You. 
G/C  C 
 
 
Am7           G           Em7         D 
Why do I   do all the things that I  do 
          G           D            C2 
When I want to do what is right 
Am7          Em7             D    C2 
  Change this wicked heart of mine 
        G5             D2         Am7 
Let me walk with you in the new life 
Am7           G           Em7         D 
Why do I   do all the things that I  do 
          G           D            C2 
When I want to do what is right 
Am7          Em7              D      C2 
  Change my heart renew my mind 
         G5             D2         Am7  
Let me walk with you in the new life
