I've been shot down, talked about 
            A             D 
Some people scandalize my name 
    A         E                            A     D A  E 
But here I am talking about Jesus just the same 

          A             E 
I've been knocked down, kicked around 
           A               D 
But like a moth drawn to a flame 
A         E                            A     D A  E 
Here I am talking about Jesus just the same 

            D 
I've been rebuked for the things I've said 
        A 
For the songs I've written and the life I've led 
              E 
They say they don't understand me but, I'm not surprised 

Because you can't see nothing when you close your eyes 

             A              E 
They say I'm sinful and backslidden 
            A              D 
That I have left to follow fame 
    A         E                            A    D A  E 
But here I am talking about Jesus just the same 

          D 
You wanna talk about my life, hey listen to me 
             A 
You got your facts all backwards, 1, 2, 3 
              E 
And spreading rumors and gossip is a real bad game 

The only name to spread is Jesus name

Here I am talking about Jesus brother 
A         D             E 
Here I am talking about Jesus sister 
A         D             E              A    D A  A7
