Vamp 1 (4x):
  Fm7	           Db2        Ab/C     Db2
[ /  /  /  /  /  /  /  / ][ /  /  /  /  /  /  /  / ]

         Fm
If I was driven
       Bb            Fm     Ab/Eb
Driven ahead by some noble ideal
             Bb/D   Db
Who took the wheel?
C        Fm
If I was given
        Bb              Fm       Ab/Eb
Given a glimpse of some glorious road
            C/E
When was it sold?
Bb/D
So caught up in the chase
C7/E
I keep forgetting my place

Chorus:
Fm7       Bb7
Just as I am
     Db               Fm
I am stiff-necked and proud
Bb/D
Jesus is for losers
C7/E
Why do I still play to the crowd?
Fm7       Bb7
Just as I am
         Db       Fm
Pass the compass, please
Bb/D
Jesus is for losers
C7/E
I'm off about a hundred degrees

VAMP 1 (4x)

If I was groping
Groping around for some ladder to fame
I am ashamed
If I was hoping
Hoping respect would make a sturdy footstool
I am a fool
Bone-weary every climb
Blindsided every time

Chorus:
Just as I am
I am needy and dry
Jesus is for losers
The self-made need not apply
Just as I am
In a desert crawl
Lord, I'm so thirsty
Take me to the waterfall

VAMP 1 (4x)

And if you're certain
Certain your life is some cosmic mistake
Why do you shake?
And if you're certain
Certain that faith is some know-nothing mask
Why do you still ask?
They don't grade here on a curve
We both know what we deserve

Chorus:
Just as you are
Just a wretch like me
Jesus is for losers
Grace from the blood of a tree
Just as we are
At a total loss
Jesus is for losers
Broken at the foot of the cross
Just as I am
Pass the compass, please
Jesus is for losers
I'm off about a hundred degrees
Just as I am
In a desert crawl
Lord, I'm so thirsty
Take me to the waterfall

VAMP 1 (4x)

This is a lot easier if you capo one fret
and transpose down a half step.
