For The Life Of Me Chords

(ver. 1)
This Beautiful Republic
This Beautiful Republic
4/4, Capo 5th fret

I believe most of the chord changes are correct. Some are a little if-fy, but it's a start.

Intro:
F#m / Bm / | F#m / A / |
F#m / Bm / | G   / / / |

Verse 1 (starting note-D)
                F#m                             A
Was I worth the pain?   You had nothing left to gain
               F#m         G
I know I'm the only one to blame
                  F#m                  A
I'm broken on the floor Staring at the door
             F#m            G
Waiting on a Savior to walk in


Chorus
                D                     A
For the life of me, why'd You bear my chains?
                Bm                        G
For the life of me why'd You walk to Calvary?
                D            A
For the life of me I can't explain
               Bm                      G                        F#m
The reason You died and the reason You came was for the life of me


Verse 2
                   F#m                    A
What do You see in me?  I'm a leper not a king
                  F#m             G
A mess that's undeserving of Your name
                  F#m                          A
I've disappointed You   Like a rose that never blooms
              F#m              G
Failing to display my heart to You


Chorus
                D                     A
For the life of me, why'd You bear my chains?
                Bm                        G
For the life of me why'd You walk to Calvary?
                D            A
For the life of me I can't explain
               Bm                      G                        F#m G D F#m G
The reason You died and the reason You came was for the life of me 


Bridge

                   F#m     Bm
Lord, let me be so bright
                F#m              Bm
I escape every shadow using Your light
                   F#m     Bm
Are You waiting to see
            G
That I will show… 

Chorus
             D                     A 
Your life in me? why'd You bear my chains?
                Bm                        G
For the life of me why'd You walk to Calvary?
                D            A
For the life of me I can't explain
               Bm                      G                            
The reason You died and the reason You came was

                D                A
For the life of me you’d bear my chains?
                Bm                        G
For the life of me you'd You walk to Calvary?
                D            A
For the life of me I can't explain
               Bm                      G                        D  G D
The reason You died and the reason You came was for the life of me
        G       D A G A D
for the life of me.
