INTRO:  C(add 9)     C(9)  F5  C(add 9)  F5   G5

  A5                  F5
I met God's Will on a Halloween night
       C5                   G5
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
A5                F5              G5
It hid the braces on his legs at first
A5                             F5
His smile was as bright as the August sun
C5       G5       A5   C5
When he looked at me
        F5                             C5
As he struggled down the driveway, it almost
        G5
Made me hurt

           F5         C5
Will don't walk too good
           F5         C5
Will don't talk too good
         F5                  C5
He won't do the things that the other kids do,
        G5
In our neighborhood

[CHORUS]
               C5                F5
I've been searchin', wonderin', thinking?
          C5              F5
Lost and lookin' all my life
           C5             A5
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
      F5                  G5
I've wrestled wrong and right
         F5             C5
He was a boy without a father
        A5           F5
And his mother's miracle
          A5                G5
I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'
C5                   F5
I guess I would be still
D5               G5
Yeah, that was until
       F5  C5    F5  G5
I knew God's Will

A5                 F5
Will's mom had to work two jobs
     C5                              G5
We'd watch him when she had to work late
A5                               F5
And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed
                   G5
Since I don't know when
A5                       F5
Hey Jude was his favorite song
C5             G5     A5    C5
At dinner he'd ask to pray
              F5                         C5          G5
And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
            F5
Before they moved to California
            C5
His mother said, they didn't think he'd live
        A5                   C5
And she said each day that I have him ,
           F5
well it's just another gift
      F5                               A5
And I never got to tell her, that the boy
       G5     F5
Showed me the truth
          D5
In crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written
B5 flat           G5
Me and God love you
          C5                   F5 
I've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jaded
C5                  F5
I guess I would be still
D5               G5
Yeah that was until...
  A5                   F5
I met God's Will on a Halloween night
        C5                   G5      C5
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
