• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Intro:

 G  D/F#  C/E  (2x)

Verse 1:

    G                    C
On any given Sunday the saints are in the pews
      D                               Gsus                 G
they sing a song and say amen as the preacher brings good news
      G                           C
they gather ’round the altar and call on Jesus’ name
    D
He never fails to meet them there, lives are always changed

Chorus:

       G
But on any given Thursday night,
        C
down a creaky flight of stairs
          D
through a door that never shuts just right
         C                  G
and some worn-out folding chairs
           Em                          C
there’s a different kind of desperate most folks never see
            D
and if you think what happens upstairs is amazing,
                Am                 D/F#         G
wait until you see what He’s been doing in the basеment

Verse 2:

G                              C
There ain’t a lot of shouting, much lеss suits and ties
       D                              Gsus              G
cheap coffee and the smell of smoke - some coming off a high
G                              C
'Hello, my name is so-and-so. Hello, Im' glad you came'
     D
and just like that, this worn-out room becomes a holy place

Chorus:

       G
'Cos on any given Thursday night,
        C
down a creaky flight of stairs
          D
through a door that never shuts just right
         C                  G
and some worn-out folding chairs
           Em                          C
there’s a different kind of desperate most folks never see
            D
and if you think what happens upstairs is amazing,
                Am                 D/F#         G
wait until you see what He’s been doing in the basеment

Interlude:

G   D/F#

Bridge:

          Em                           Bm
If you’ve never seen a miracle, I can tell you where they meet
   C                              Am
I know at least a dozen, and you know one now
     D
’cos you know me

Chorus:

   G
On any given Thursday night,
        C
down a creaky flight of stairs
          D
through a door that never shuts just right
         C                  G
and some worn-out folding chairs
           Em                          C
there’s a different kind of desperate most folks never see
            D
and if you think what happens upstairs is amazing,
              Am                            D
Yeah, we all know what happens upstairs is amazing
                Am                 D            G    D/F#   C/E
wait until you see what He’s been doing in the basеment
                        G    D/F#   C/E
What He's doing in the basement
