C    D
G  C  D  (4x)


Verse 1:
G                  C             D
Well, I was born a sickly little child
G                C        D
Nearly died just after my birth
G                 C          D
For five years, I fought the illness
   G                 C           D
My mother prayed and prayed, for what it's worth

Verse 2:
G            C          D
That time we travelled along
G            C  D
Back home to Ireland
G                   C         D
I took sick and the doctors admit
              G                    C             D
I should have died right there and then by their hands


Verse 3:
G                   C   D
Mother called it an overdose
G                 C   D
They called it an oversight
G                    C           D
Either way, I should not have survived
    G                           C      D         G     C  D
But since then, I've never been sick a day in my life


Chorus:
C
Call it divine purpose
D
Call it faith
C
Watch Mass on Channel 56
         D
And that way you'll never be late
             G          C  D  G
And god will thank you
G   D    G          C  D  G    C  D
God will thank you


Verse 4:
G                   C            D
Well, I've seen the heavens open up
G             C      D
I've seen the angels fly
G               C        D
Well, I've seen children killed
G                       C    D
And I've seen grown men cry


Verse 5:
G                C       D
I know all about (Noah's ark
G                   C       D
Rain's been falling all the while
G                 C        D
And I heard about Adam and Eve
      G                 C           D    G      C  D
But I still believe she never got a fair trial


Chorus:
C
Call it divine purpose
D
Say it's all true
C
Well, they never brought anything back from Roswell
   D
So who are you gonna pray to
             G          C  D  G
And god will thank you
C   D    G          C  D  G    C  D
God will thank you


Verse 6:
G                C        D
So, maybe I only read the bible
G                       C       D
When I'm staying at the Holiday Inn
G               C          D
I see church on Easter and Christmas
G                         C          D
But every other Sunday, I just can't fit it in


Verse 7:
G                     C    D
But I'm coming from a true place
G                  C   D
I'm shining like a new light
G            C         D
I'm thanking god every day
    G            C    D     G     C  D
For everything I have in my life


Chorus:
C
Call it divine purpose
D
Call it faith
C
Maybe you don't believe in god
            D
Because the Big Bang theory really holds more weight
             G          C  D  G
And god will thank you
C   D    G          C  D  G    C  D
God will thank you
C   D    G          C  D  G
God will thank you
C   D    G          C  D  G
God will thank you
