CAPO 4
* means only strum once

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

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

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

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

D
Well her path started to change
    F#m/C#
She reached out and grabbed God's grace
    Em
And finally, she saw a light
           Gsus4
Until that night...
          D
Where she decided one drink was alright
    F#m/C#
And one thing led to another
Em
Next thing you know, 9 months go by
G *
She's a mother.

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

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

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

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

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

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