Chorus:
C G Am7
Dear Carpenter I′m not doing alright
F G
I've got some new bruises and I can′t count them all
C G/B Am7
You're looking well, can't say the same for myself
F
I′m sorry to barge in
G
I just needed to talk
C G/B Am7
You ran to the door and stopped what You were doing
F G
You didn′t think twice and gave me a seat and said
C G/B
Oh how I've missed you
Am7
I said You don′t know the half
F G
Oh Carpenter, would You fix me?
F
You smiled at me
C G
'Cause I didn't even need to ask
Verse:
C G/B Am7
Dear Carpenter I′m feeling lost in this life
F
I've been through the ringer
G
Don′t know what to believe
C G/B Am7
I always mean well, but make a fool of myself
F G
Now all I have left are just pieces of me
C G/B
My heart has been shattered
Am7
My spirit's been crushed
F G
I'm rough on the edges and it′s probably my fault
C G
But I′ve seen how You work
Am7
You've got five-star reviews
F G
Oh Carpenter, I need You
Chorus:
F
You reached out Your hand
C G
And for a second it didn′t hurt so bad
C G/B Am
You know what they say, you are who you are
F G
You can't change a thing when you′ve fallen so far
C
But You laughed at the thought
G Am
You knew they were wrong
F G
'Cause redemption and mercy just aren't that far off
C G/B Am
Oh, and little did I know this whole time You′d been working
F G
So carefully crafting to make it all fit
C Am
Now I get to live like I'd never been broken
F G
You've restored things in me only a carpenter could fix
F C G
We talked through these things over blueprints and tea
Outro:
F C G
You smiled at me 'cause I didn′t even need to ask
