Intro: C Csus2 C Csus2 C G C
1 [C]Her parents never took the y[Csus2]oung girl to c[C]hurch
2 Her daddy drank all day and momma did drugs
3 And like it always does the bad just got worse
4 The first day of sunday school the teacher walked in
Never sp[Dm]oke of His [C]name; never rea[Am]d her His w[G]ord
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs
With every slap and every curse
And a small little girl stared at a picture of Him
[C]Two non believers walkin l[Csus2]ost through this w[C]orld
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
She said I know that man up there on that cross
Took their [Dm]baby with th[C]em, what a [Am]sad little g[G]irl
While mom fell asleep and her daddy went out.
pulled a gun on her mom and then took his life
I don't know His name but I know He got off
CHORUS
1 And the [G/A]drink - [Am]ing and the f[G/B]ight - i[F]ng
2 Then some people from the ci - ty
3 He was there in my old house
j[C]ust got worse every n[G]ight
took the girl far away
and held me close to His side
Behind t[G/A]heir c[Am]ouch she'd be [G/B]hid - i[F]ng
Too a new mom and a new dad
AsI hid there our couch
[C] Oh what a sad little [G]life
kisses and hugs everyday
the night that my parents died
play intro again, and to end the song
