Strong Convictions

Gsus2    G5     F C
G5   Gsus2    Bb     C F
G5   Gsus2    G5     F C
G5   Gsus2    Bb C D C F

[Verse 1]
G5  Gsus2               G5 
Western world where the strong 
      F  C
survive
        Bb          F         Dm 
And the meek will inherit the 
   C
dregs
G5  Gsus2         F        G5
Living now in the twilight time
         Bb             F         
Will the world hear the answer it 
Dm   C
begs

[Verse 2]
G5 Gsus2    G5       G5 G5
Secular and sacred blur
    Bb       F         Dm   C
Without even raising a flag
G5  Gsus2    F       G5
When so many masters call
          Bb          C           
Is it the tail or the dog that 
  F
will wag?
Bb                 Bb       D D#  D
With some among us weak at the knees
Bb                  F          
And many others who do as they 
Bb    C  D C
please
G5 Gsus2       G5     F  C
There still remains a witness
G5 Gsus2         Bb        F
The few who will stand and say

[Chorus]
         A7                C      
I've got strong convictions 'bout 
    D          A7    C G
the way that I live
         A7            C         
I've got no concessions that I'm 
D          A7    F G
willing ot give
Continúa después del anuncio
A7                C               
Strong convictions that are worth 
 D   A7    C E D C G
living by
F                 C          G   
Strong convictions 'till the day I 
  D
die

[Verse 3]
G5 Gsus2            G5        F  C
It's so hard seeing black and white
     Bb        F           Dm   C
When so much appears to be gray
G5 Gsus2             F   G5
With no faith in the absolute
        Bb         C             
It's no wonder the standard will 
F
stray
Bb                     Bb       D
With bold convictions  leading 
 D#  D
the way
Bb            F         Bb    C 
With those who have them willing to 
D  C
say
G5 Gsus2   G5       F  C
There is a new horizon
G5  Gsus2        Bb     F
I can say as for me and mine

[Chorus]
         A7                C      
I've got strong convictions 'bout 
    D          A7    C G
the way that I live
         A7            C         
I've got no concessions that I'm 
D          A7    F G
willing ot give
A7                C               
Strong convictions that are worth 
 D   A7    C E D C G
living by
F                 C          G   
Strong convictions 'till the day 
  A5
I die

[Bridge]
Bbsus2                     C
Pressure makes the perfect diamond
F                           C
Measure of the saints refining
Bb                                
Don't ever want to stray, I really
         C
 want to stay
F     C          F   G     A
Steadfast and immovable in Him
