Better Than I Thought

INTRO:
[D]

VERSE:
I used to think You were[G] an[A]gry[Bm]
The tone of Your voice is c[G]han[A]gi[Bm]ng
And it sounds more like comp[G]assion
than cont[A]empt[Bm]
It feels more like it's [G]for me than [A]agai[Bm]nst

VERSE 2:
I walked around on a [G]tightrop[A]e[Bm]

Like if I messed up too bad
You might [G]let g[A]o[Bm]
I thought I'd reach the [G]ceiling
of Your gra[A]ce[Bm]
But You've got more mercy[G] than
I've got mista[A]kes[Bm]

CHORUS:
Ha[G]llelu[D]jah, I thou[Bm]ght I kn[A]ew You
But You're so much [G]better than I [D]thought
You're so much b[Bm]etter than
I e[A]ver could have h[G]oped
Imag[D]ined, forese[Bm]en, or f[A]athomed
But You're so much [G]better than I [D]thought
You're so much b[Bm]etter

VERSE 3:
[A]You weren't impressed by th[G]e p[A]ag[Bm]eant
Your pride isn't tied to my[G] tal[A]ent[Bm]
And You don’t ask for so[G]mething
I can't gi[A]ve[Bm]
My God, You're not a [G]fascist,
You're a frie[A]nd[Bm]

CHORUS:
Ha[G]llelu[D]jah, I thou[Bm]ght I kn[A]ew You
But You're so much [G]better than I [D]thought
You're so much b[Bm]etter than
I e[A]ver could have h[G]oped
Imag[D]ined, forese[Bm]en, or f[A]athomed
But You're so much [G]better than I [D]thought
You're so much b[Bm]etter, You're[A] better

[G]     [A]  You're be[Bm]tter, b[D/F#]etter
[G] [A] [Bm] [D/F#]

BRIDGE:
Is this [G]what it feels like to [A]walk in Your freedom
To kno[Bm]w I'm accepted, I'm [D]even believed in
If mercy[G] had limits I [A]would exceed them
But Your gra[Bm]ce isn’t shallow,
it's mor[D]e like the deep end

I thou[G]ght I could earn it th[A]rough striving and tears
But I kn[D]ew the wrong Jesus f[Bm]or so many years
That bu[G]rden is lifting, it's [A]light as a feather
My spi[Bm]rit is healing, I th[A]ought You were good

TAG:
But You're b[G]etter, You're[A] better,
You're b[Bm]etter[D]
Oh You're be[G]tter, You're [A]better,
You're b[Bm]etter[A]

CHORUS:
Ha[G]llelu[D]jah, I thou[Bm]ght I kn[A]ew You
But You're so much [G]better than I [D]thought
You're so much b[Bm]etter than
I e[A]ver could have h[G]oped
Imag[D]ined, forese[Bm]en, or f[A]athomed
But You're so much [G]better than I [D]thought
You're so much b[Bm]etter, You're[A] better

OUTRO:
You’re b[G]etter, You're [D]better,
You're be[Bm]tter[A]
Oh You're b[G]etter, You're [D]better,
You're b[Bm]etter[A]
Than I though[D]t
