[Verse 1]
D
Poor fisherman
D5
Rich fisherman
G            A      D
Poor fisherman again

D
One miracle
D5
Imposible
G             A         D
Nets busting full and then

Em             A         D
Down on his knees humiliation
Em             A         D
Doesn’t seem like much of a salvation
Em             A         D
Brings to mind the thought-provoking question
                   G
That's why I'm asking

[Chorus]
                 A       D
Why did Peter say Go away?
                 G A                        D
What am I to learn from these forgotten words?
                 G A                        D
Why did Jesus call a heart that was afraid?
              G A       D
Why did Peter say go away?

[Verse 2]
D
Bow every head
D5
Close every eye
G            A      D
Quietly reply with no one watching

D
If we said it well
D5
Then you won’t go to hell
G            A      D
Check one “go and tell” and clear our conscience

Em             A         D
But what if we don’t tell the price of glory?
Em             A         D
Isn’t that like hiding half the story?
Em             A         D
Are we too afraid the truth is boring?
                  G
And I'm still wondering:

[Chorus]
                 A       D
Why did Peter say Go away?
                 G A                        D
What am I to learn from these forgotten words?
                 G A                        D
Why did Jesus call a heart that was afraid?
              G A       D
Why did Peter say go away?


[Bridge]
Em  D      Em          G
God gives grace to the humble
Em  D      Em          A
And God gives the earth to meek
Em  D      Em          G
And we want to run into the kingdom
A
with our head held high
       G          A
On our own two feet

Em  D      Em          G
God gives grace to the humble
Em  D      Em          A
And God gives the earth to meek
Em  D      Em          G
And we want to run into the kingdom
A
with our head held high
       G          A
On our own two feet

[Chorus]
G                         A       D
And I can still hear Peter say Go away
               G     D
From these words we learn
G                    D              A
Just what it means to turn from our ways
                    G
Cause Jesus loves a heart
          A             D
That hangs its head in shame
                G           A    D
So he can take our sin and say, Go away
