Verse 1:
C majorC                FF
I met Craig at a church called Redeeming Grace
     G+G               C majorC
Like he understood my "I don't want to be here" face
              FF
I felt out of place and I smelled like beer
       G+G            C majorC
But he just shook my hand, said "I'm glad you're here"
C majorC
He said "we'll all be judged"
      FF
But he was never judgemental
  G+G               C majorC
And even though my songs don't belong in no hymnal
             FF
He'd quote me my lyrics, slap me on the back
    G+G             C majorC
Said "Man you've got a gift! How you write like that?"

Chorus:
A minorAm        G+G
I know, he sounds cool right?
     FF
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
                 G+G
I still ain't figured out church yet
     C majorC
But Craig, I get
           FF        G+G      C majorC
Nah he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red
           FF      G+G     C majorC
But he just might be tight with a man that did
                FF
Yeah he's not the light of the world
        G+G          C majorC
But I wish that mine was bright as his
       FF           G+G    C majorC
Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is


Interlude:
C majorC FF G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

Verse 2:
   C majorC              FF
You lose a record deal, all the perks fade fast
   G+G                      C majorC
Dealership said, "We're going to need to get that mini-van back"
C majorC
So we were down on one car
   FF
And broke as I felt
  G+G              C majorC
My wife and six kids with only five seat belts
              FF
I needed help but couldn't admit, I was strong
    G+G
Said, "Craig, it's all good"
    C majorC
But he knew it all wasn't
                 FF
A augmentedA "Hey man I'm praying for you" would've been sufficient but nah
G+G         C majorC
He took roadside assistance to a
                  E minorEm
Whole other level, to sacrificial heights
E minorEm
Showed up at the ballpark after my son's game one night
E minorEm
In two cars, with his wife Barb watching from the other
FF
Said "What in the world are y'all doing here, brother?"
    C majorC
He just laughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van
     E minorEm            G+G
With the keys, and a title, and a pen in his hand
   C majorC
Said "Man, all you got to do is sign and it's yours"
    A minorAm
I said "No, no way"
    FF             G+G
But he wouldn't take "No" for an answer
G+G
Said "Please do
     C majorC
Somebody did this for me once, just let me do this for you"
G+G
We argued about it for a little while

Then I teared up, and Craig smiled

Chorus:
 A minorAm        G+G
I know, he sounds cool right?
     FF
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
           FF        G+G      C majorC
Nah he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red
           FF      G+G     C majorC
But he just might be tight with a man that did
                FF
Yeah he's not the light of the world
        G+G          C majorC
But I wish that mine was bright as his
       FF           G+G    C majorC
Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is

Verse 3:
C majorC                            FF
My pride was way too ashamed to be adequately grateful at the moment
    G+G               C majorC
But I signed the dotted line, and I drove the kids home
                       FF
And when the cop pulled up beside us at the light, they didn't have to duck
G+G            C majorC
Because thanks to Craig
               FF G+G C majorC FF G+G
They were all buckled up
