Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Standard Tuning
CAPO 4
* means only strum once

          D MajorD
Everything's gonna be alright
          F#m/C#F#m/C#
She whispers to herself
           E minorEm
She was only 6 years old that night
       G+G
As she hid behind that shelf
               D MajorD
'Cause daddy had a little too much to drink
              F#m/C#F#m/C#
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain
   E minorEm
She felt
            G+G
But she still felt the pain...

          D MajorD
Well 10 years they came and went
      F#m/C#F#m/C#
And dad was gone
             E minorEm
So she looked for love in other men
         G+G
And tried to act strong.
  D MajorD                F#m/C#F#m/C#
Oh, Broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see
    Em.                G+G
'Cause she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something

  D MajorD
And as she sat there on that bed
F#m/C#F#m/C#
Thinking 'bout what those girls said
E minorEm
Tears streamed from her eyes
G+G *
She cried...

       D MajorD
If there is a God out there
F#m/C
Please hear my prayer.
  E minorEm
I'm lost and I'm scared
     G+G
And I've got nowhere else to go
D MajorD           F#m/C#F#m/C#
I've come a long, long way
            E minorEm        G+G *
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther...
       D MajorD    F#m/C#F#m/C#    E minorEm       G+G
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
     D MajorD F#m/C#F#m/C# G+G
To your daughter.

D MajorD
Well her path started to change
  F#m/C#F#m/C#
She reached out and grabbed God's grace
  E minorEm
And finally, she saw a light
      Gsus4Gsus4
Until that night...
     D MajorD
Where she decided one drink was alright
  F#m/C#F#m/C#
And one thing led to another
E minorEm
Next thing you know, 9 months go by
G+G *
She's a mother.

  D MajorD
And as she lay there in that bed
 F#m/C#F#m/C#
Stroking that small angel's head
E minorEm
Tears streamed down her eyes
  G+G *
She cried...

       D MajorD
If there's a God out there
F#m/C#F#m/C#
Please hear my prayer.
  E minorEm
I'm lost and I'm scared
     G+G
And I've got nowhere else to run
D MajorD           F#m/C#F#m/C#
I've come a long, long way
            E minorEm         G+G
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother...
       D MajorD   F#m/C#F#m/C#    E minorEm       G+G
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
    D MajorD F#m/C#F#m/C# G+G
To your daughter.

D MajorD *      F#m/C#F#m/C# *
Well that baby grew into a boy
E minorEm *      G+G *
Who became her pride and joy
D MajorD
He loved her like no man could
F#m/C#F#m/C#                      E minorEm
And her heart felt peace, 'cause she finally understood
   G+G
God's love.

 D MajorD
So as she lay there in that bed
 F#m/C#F#m/C# *
99 years old
  E minorEm *
She grabbed her son's hand and said
    G+G *
There's something you must know...

      D MajorD
There is a God up there
  F#m/C#F#m/C#
Who heard my prayer
   E minorEm
I was lost and afraid
   G+G
And I had nowhere else to go.
D MajorD     F#m/C#F#m/C#    E minorEm
I had no clue, what to do
          G+G
And then He sent me you.

       D MajorD
So if you're lost and afraid
    F#m/C#F#m/C#
And you feel so alone
      E minorEm
Don't worry child
                 G+G *
'Cause there's a Father who will love you as His own
            D MajorD    F#m/C#F#m/C# G+G
Just like he loved his daughter.
         D MajorD F#m/C#F#m/C#  G+G
Like he loved His daughter.
