Living in the same town For all these years
G#mEF#
Doing the same old things
BF#G#m
Hanging with the same crowd
EF#B
And it’s starting to get crippl - ing
BF#G#m
You’ve never felt in place
G#mEF#
And you tell yourself it’s all o - kay
BF#G#m
But something’s different today
EF#B
You want to run the opposite way
Chorus 1BF#G#m
And it seems like you’re locked in a cage
G#mEF#
And you need to find a way of escape
BF#G#m
When everyone is setting the pace
EF#B
It’s okay to run the opposite way
Verse 2BF#G#m
The Father sent His Son down The light of men
G#mEF#
The cross He bore was crippl - ing
BF#G#m
Rejected in His own town
EF#B
They couldn’t see the sun shining
BF#G#m
He knelt in the garden and prayed
G#mEF#
Father, let this cup pass from me
BF#G#m
It’s not Your will for me to stay
EF#B
Your will for me is the opposite way
Chorus 2BF#G#m
And it seemed like He was locked in a cage
G#mEF#
And He couldn’t find a way of escape

But through the cross He conquered the grave
EF#B
My Jesus ran the opposite way
InstrumentalBF#G#mG#mEF#BF#G#mEF#BEndingBF#G#m
Oh, and through the cross He conquered the grave
G#mEF#
Oh, He ran the oppo - site way
BF#G#m

EF#B
So you could run the opposite way
