*Please note that this is not the exact key that Molly does the song in, but it's very close to it and
much easier*
G+G
Everything's gonna be alright
D MajorD
She whispers to herself
A minorAm
She was only 6 years old that night
C majorC
As she hid behind that shelf
G+G
Cuz daddy had a little too much to drink
D MajorD A minorAm
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt
C majorC
But she still felt the pain
G+G
Well 10 years they came and went
D MajorD
And dad was gone
A minorAm
So she looked for love in other men
C majorC
And tried to act strong.
G+G D MajorD
Oh broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see
A minorAm C majorC (Once)
Cuz she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something
G+G
And as she sat there on her bed
D MajorD
thinkin bout what those girls said
A minorAm
tears streamed down her eyes
C majorC (Once. Pause)
She cried
G+G
If there's a God out there
D MajorD
Please hear my prayer.
A minorAm
I'm lost and I'm scared
C majorC G+G
and I've got no where else to go
D MajorD
I've come a long, long way
A minorAm C majorC (Once. Pause.)
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther ...
G+G D MajorD
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
G+G A minorAm C majorC
To your daughter.
G+G
Well her path started to change
D MajorD
She reached out and grabbed God's grace
A minorAm C majorC (Once)
And finally, she saw a light
(No chord)
Until that night where
G+G
She decided one drink was alright
D MajorD
and one thing led to another
A minorAm
Well next thing you know, 9 months go by
C majorC
she's a mother.
G+G
And as she laid there in that bed
D MajorD
Stroking that small angel's head
A minorAm
Tears streamed down her eyes
C majorC (Once. Pause)
She cried
G+G
If there's a God out there
D MajorD
Please here my prayer.
A minorAm
I'm lost and I'm scared
C majorC G+G
and I've got no where else to run
D MajorD
I've come a long, long way
A minorAm C majorC (Once. Pause)
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother
G+G D MajorD
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
G+G A minorAm C majorC
To your daughter.
G+G D MajorD
Well that baby grew into a boy
A minorAm C majorC
Who became her pride and joy
G+G
He loved her like no man could
D MajorD A minorAm (Once. Pause)
And her heart felt peace, cuz she finally understood
C majorC
God's love.
G+G
And as she laid there in that bed
D MajorD
99 years old
A minorAm
She grabbed her son's hand and said
C majorC (Once. Pause)
There's something you must know...
G+G
There is a God up there
D MajorD
Who heard my prayer
A minorAm
I was lost and afraid
C majorC G+G
And I had no where else to go.
D MajorD A minorAm
I had know clue, what to do
C majorC (Once. Pause)
And then He sent me you.
G+G
So if you're lost and afraid
D MajorD
and you feel so alone
A minorAm
don't worry child
C majorC (Once)
cuz there's a Father who will love you as His own
G+G A minorAm C majorC
Just like he loved his daughter.
G+G A minorAm C majorC
Like he loved His daughter.
(End on G+G)
