Middle 8

Eb           F                   C7
 Did anybody say it was gonna be easy
Eb      F                         Gsus4 G
 Nobody said that you couldn’t complain
Eb              F                       C
 The God of the world tried to drive me crazy
A
   Even Peter denied Him
A
  Standin’ right beside Him
A
  Took Him out and falsely tried Him
A
  Eventually crucified Him
C                                  E
 Who am I to say I wouldn’t do the same?
