Chords for Things We Leave Behind - Michael Card & Scott Roley

_ It is a great privilege to have tonight _ _ my best friend, Scott Rowley, to play for us.
Give him a good welcome. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ This is a song [F] we wrote together a long time ago.
How many [Ab] years?
_ _ _ Fifteen.
[F] Yeah, a long time.
Almost twenty. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _
I had hair [Eb] when we wrote [Bbm] this song.
[Ab] _ _ And I was fifty [Fm] pounds lighter.
[Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] There sits [Db]
Simon, _ [F] foolish [Fm] and wise, [Ab] _ proudly he's [Db] tending his [F] nets.
_ [Db] _
[Ab] _ _ _ Jesus [Bbm] calls and the [F] boats [Fm] drift away, _ [F] and all [Fm] that he owns he forgets.
[Eb] _
_ _ [Db] But more than the nets he [Ab] _ abandoned that day, [Db] he found that his pride [Ab] was soon drifting [Gm] away.
[Fm] And it's hard to [Ab] imagine [Db] the freedom [Fm] we find from things [Bb] we [Ab] leave _ behind.
[Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _ _
Matthew [Db] was mindful [Eb] of taking [Db] the tax, _ [Ab] _
impressing [F] the people to [Eb] pay.
_ [Db] _ [Ab] _ And hearing [Fm] the call, [F] he responded in [Bbm] faith, [Fm] and followed [Bbm] the light and the [Fm] way.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Db] And leaving the people [Ab] so puzzled, he found [Db] the greed in his heart [Ab] was no longer around.
[Gm] And [Fm] it's hard to [Ab] imagine [Db] the freedom we [Cm] find [Bbm] from the things [Eb] we leave [Ab]
behind.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ Every [C] heart needs to be set free [F] from possessions [Fm] that hold them [C] so tight.
[Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
Freedom's not [Bb] found in the things that [Db] we own.
_ [Cm] _
_ [Bbm] It's the power to do what is [Eb] right. _ _
_ [Fm] With Jesus our only [F] possession, _ _ _ [Cm] and the giving becomes our [Bb] delight. _ _
_ _ [Eb] We can't imagine the [Ab] freedom [Db] we find _ [Cm] from _ [Bbm]
the [Eb] things we [Ab] leave behind.
[Fm] _ We [Eb] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [F] show a love for the world in [Fm] our lives, [Ab] by _ [F] worshiping goods we possess.
_ _ _ _ [Ab]
But Jesus [Bbm] said, lay all [F] your treasures _ [Fm] aside, and love [Bbm] God above all [Db] the rest.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db]
When we say no to [Ab] the things of the world, [Db] we open our hearts [Ab] to the love of [Gm] the Lord.
And [Fm] it's hard to imagine the freedom we find [Bbm] from the things [Eb] we [Ab] leave behind.
_ [Cm] Oh, and [Fm] it's hard to [Ab] imagine [Bbm] the freedom [Fm] we find [Bbm] from the things [Eb] that we leave [Ab]
behind.
