-Acoustic Guitar-
C G F X2
-Verse 1-
C       G        F
Well I know the road your on
C    G                  F
And where it's leading to
C      G        F
There ain't no comming back
C   G           F
If you make it through
Am               G   F
Well it'll cost you everything
Am    G          F
With nothing to show for it
C    G                     F
But if you want it better child
C     G                F
Well here's chance to go for it

-Chorus-
                  C   G F
The best thing in life
              C   G F
Is definately free
                  C   G F
The best thing in life
                    C G F
Is good for you and me

-Verse 2-
One thing's for certain
I have been taught
The key to heaven
Just can't be bought
'Cause the standard is perfection
And we're all short of it
But in came Jesus
And he was above it

-Chorus-

-Bridge-
Am                 G             F  Riff
Jesus on the cross paid the penalty
Am                G          F  Riff
Offers back to us life eternaly
Am                  G                 F  Riff
The choice is up to you just remember this
Am                         G           F
No matter what you've done Jesus he forgives
