Risk On Me Chords

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
Am    G C
Am   F   C
 
[Verse 1]
Am                         G C
Why'd You ever take a risk on me?
Am                          
I didn't know my own heart, 
        F           C
didn't know my greed
          Am                       G C
You left house and home to a slave unfreed
     Am                    F      C
Oh, why'd You ever take a risk on me?
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                 G   C
Brother took the most, but the most he made
Am                             F         C
Multiplied five-fold with the gold You gave
Am                           G   C
Sister no thought did the very same
         Am                        F     C
And took two, made two in her Master's name
 
[Chorus]
F                     G  C
I was tired of thinking on
       G         F
Your reasonless escape
F               C
A trust so far unknown,
    E      Am   G   F
so foreign made to me
 
[instrumental]
C   Fm
Am   G  C
Am   F      C
 
[Verse 3]
      Am                               G  C
I set out in of the night as the fear set in
             Am
And pulled ground from the ground
          F            C
 'til my two hands quit
                Am                G  C
There was not a soul to see where I hid
              Am           F 
Every single ounce, every single cent
       C 
You'd given
 
[Chorus]
F                   G  C
I was tired of thinking on
       G    C    F
Your reasonless escape
F               C
A trust so far unknown,
    E      Am   G   F 
so foreign made to me

[Bridge]
      C       C 
When He returns,
   F            C 
He calls for my brother
        C 
When He returns,
   F              C
He calls for her, too
         C    G    Am
And with joy in His eyes,
   F                   C
He sees their faithful work
            F    C    F   C
And says, "Well done, my child,
       G          C
come rejoice with Me
F     C    F    C
Well done, my child,
        G         Am
come rejoice with Me"
 
[Outro]
Am      G  C
Am     F   C
 
Am                           G  C
Hung my head when He called my name
     Am                    F     C
Knew I'd done nothing but cowering
     Am                           G  C
And took Him to the pit as I hid my face
          Am                    F        C
And gave back to Him the only chance He gave
            Am                    F       C 
Oh, I gave back to Him the only chance He gave
