[Intro]
C G C G C G D x2

[Verse 1]
Em G D G
Deep in your blood or a voice in your head
C G D
On a dark lonesome highway that finds you instead
Em G D G
So certain it knows you, you can't turn away
C G D
Something or someone has found you today

[Chorus]
C G C G
Genius to Jesus, maybe He saved us
C G D Am
But who would believe us, I can't really say
C G C G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling or falling
C G D C
You follow it knowing there's no other way, there's no other way

[Verse 2]
Em G D G
They're Zealots and preachers and readers of dreams
C G D
The righteous gel out of stand, the safe drives to sin
Em G D G
The lonely and lost are just waiting to hear
C G D
Any moment their purpose will be perfectly clear

[Chorus]
C G C G
And then life would mean more, than their name on their door
C G D Am
And that far distant shore that's so near
C G C G
They'd hear the calling, the stumbling and falling
C G D Bm C
They'd follow it knowing there's nothing to fear, nothing to fear

[Verse 3]
Em G D G
I don't remember a voice on a dark lonesome road
C G D
When I started the journey so long ago
Em G D G
I was only just trying to outrun the noise
C G D
There was never a question of having a choice

[Chorus]
C G C G
Jesus to genius maybe they've seen me
C G D Am
But who would believe me, I can't really say
G C C G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling
C G D
I followed it knowing there's no other way
C G C G
Jesus to genius, maybe He seen me
C G D Am
But who would believe me, I can't really say
