I have not seen any interpretations of this song on the net that are correct so I thought I would take it upon myself.

Intro: E E7/A E (4x)
Verse: E E7/A E E6/9 You know I ran across an old box of letters A2 Am E E7/A E When I was bagging up some clothes for Good Will E E7/A E E6/9 And you know I had to laugh that the same old struggles A2 Am E E7/A E that plagued me then are plaguing me still E E7/A E E6/9 I know the road is long from the ground to glory A2 Am E E7/A E But a boy can hope he's getting some place E E7/A E E6/9 But you see I'm running from the very clothes I'm wearing A2 Am E E7/A E And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase
Prechorus: D2 A2 E No there is none righteous D2 A2 E Not one who understands D2 A2 E D2 There is none who seek God no not one A2 I said no not one
Chorus: E F#/E D2 A2 E I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own
Verse:(same as above)
Cause we're all still born and dead in our transgressions And we're shackled up to the sin we hold so dear So what part can I play In the work of redemption Cause i can't refuse I cannot add a thing
Prechorus:(same as above) Cause I am just like Lazarus I can hear Your voice I stand and rub my eyes and walk to You Because I have no choice
Chorus:(same as above just twice as long)
Cause I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own I'm so thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own
Bridge:(harmonica plays bridge over this guitar part) D2 A2 E (4x)
Prechorus:(same as above) It's by grace I have been saved through faith that's not my own It is the gift of God and not by works lest anyone should boast
Chorus:(once without guitar) Chorus:(with guitar)
Outro: D2 A2 E (4x) (end with one hard downstroke on E)
That's it listen to the cd for some of the timing and strum patterns This is a great song by one of the great Christian bands of our day. Enjoy
