Legacy

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me,

and I (G)enjoy an (D)accolade,

like the (Em7)rest.

(Csus2)And you could (G)take my picture and (B)hang it in a (Em)gallery of all the (A)"who's whos" and (Cm6)"so and sos" that (G)used to be the (Bbdim7)best at (Am)such and such;

it wouldn't (D)matter much.

(Gsus)I won't (G)lie;

it feels (Gsus)alright to see your name in lights.

We all (G)need an "Atta (D)boy" or "Atta (C)(G)girl."

But in the end, I'd like to (B)hang my hat on (Em)more besides the (A)temporary trappings of this (C)world.

I wanna leave a (G)legacy.

How will they (D)remember me?

Did I (C)choose to (Em)love?

Did I (C)point to You enough to make a (G)mark on things?

I wanna leave an (B)offering.

(Em)A child of (C)mercy and grace who (G)blessed Your name (Am)unapologetic'lly,

(Dsus)and leave that kind of (Csus2)(G)legacy.

(Csus2)Don't (G)have to look too (Csus2)far or too (G)long a while (Csus2)to make a (G)lengthy list of (D)all that I (C)enjoy.

(Csus2)It's an (G)accumulating (B)trinket and a (Em)treasure pile where (A)moth and rust,

(Cm6)thieves and such will (G)soon enough (Csus2)destroy.

I wanna leave a

(Eb)Not welltraveled, not (Cm)(Bb)wellread, (Eb)not welltodo or (Cm)wellbred.

(F)I just wanna hear (Dm)instead,

(C)"Well (F)done, good and (Dm)faithful one."

(C)Hey,

(Em)yeah, yeah, yeah.

(Csus2)I wanna leave a (G)legacy.

How will they (D)remember me?

Did I (C)choose to (Em)love?

Did I (C)point to You enough to make a (G)mark on things?

I wanna leave an (B)offering.

(Em)A child of (C)mercy and grace who (G)blessed Your name (Am)unapologetic'lly,

(Dsus)and leave that kind of (Csus2)(G)legacy.

(G5)I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me.
