Verse 1
                 B  F#/A#              E/G#   B F#       E
If it were up to me      there'd be an easier road than Calvary
                 B  F#/A#      E/G#       B F#       E
If it were up to me      You would have escaped the suffering
              G#m         F#sus4                       E
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
   C#m               E         B             F#sus4  C#m
I used to think that life was all about the dream
     E                  B
But love is a mess and life is a death
         F#sus4           C#m
And you can't escape the cost
       E                  B     F#       E
Yeah, love is a mess, the story of the cross

If it were up to me       life would be more like the movies
                 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

[Chorus]
