F# C#
I'm gonna live like a believer
F# C#
Turn my back on the deceiver

I'm gonna live what I believe
F# C#
I have decided
F# C#
Being good is just a fable

I just can't 'cause I'm not able

There's a wealth of things that I profess
F# C#
I said that I believed
F# C#
But deep inside I never changed
G#7
I guess I'd been deceived
C# G#
'Cause a voice inside kept telling me
F# C#
That I'd change by and by
F# C#
But the spirit made it clear to me
G#
That kind of life's a lie

So forget the game of being good
F# C#
And your self-righteous pain
F# C#
'Cause the only good inside your heart
G#7
Is the good that Jesus brings
C# G#
And when the world begins to see you change
F# C#
Don't expect them to applaud
F# C#
Just keep your eyes on him and tell yourself
G#
I've become the work of God
C#
I have decided
F# C#
I'm gonna live like a believer

Turn my back on the deceiver

Being good is just a fable
