Intro: Db Bbm Ab (twice)
Verse
[Db]Her Parents never took the young girl to church
Never spoke of his name, never [Bbm]read her his [Ab]word
[Db]Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world
Took their baby with them what a [Bbm]sad little [Ab]girl
Verse
[Db]Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play or give [Bbm]kisses and [Ab]hugs
[Db]She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
while her mom fell asleep and her [Bbm]daddy went [Ab]out
Bridge
and the [Ab]drink[Bbm]ing and the [Ab]fight[Gb]ing
[Db]just got worse every [Ab]night
behind [Ab]their [Bbm]couch she'd be [Ab]hid[Gb]ing
[Db]oh what a sad little [Ab]life
Repeat Intro: Db Bbm Ab
Verse
[Db]And like it always does the bad just got worse
with every slap and [Bbm]every [Ab]curse
[Db]until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
used a gun on her mom and [Bbm]then took his [Ab]life
Bridge
and some [Ab]peo[Bbm]ple from a [Ab]cit[Gb]y
[Db]took the girl far [Ab]away
to a [Ab]new [Bbm]mom and a [Ab]new [Gb]dad
[Db]kisses and hugs every [Ab]day
Repeat Intro: Db Bbm Ab
Verse
[Db]her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
and a small little girl stared at a [Bbm]picture of [Ab]him
[Db]she said I know that man up there on that cross
I don't know his name but I [Bbm]know he got [Ab]off
Bridge
cause he was [Ab]there [Bbm]in my [Ab]old [Gb]house
[Db]and held me close to his [Ab]side
as I [Ab]hid [Bbm]there behind [Ab]our [Gb]couch
[Db]the night that my parents [Ab]died
Outro: Repeat Intro
