Intro: C  Am  G

Verse 1:
C
Lately she's been thinking what her daddy said
Am
When you're winning you got more friends
     G
But are they your friends?  If you fall they're gone,
F                            G
Something about those kinda people seems wrong
C
Who's gonna be there when that phone call knocks her down
Am
All of the steeples, but she can't hear a bell sound
G
Jumps on a bus to head downtown,
     F                              G
And picks up the paper that's been blowing around (It says)


Chorus:
C
When your heart breaks He'll hurt for you
Am
Dreams are out of reach, He'll pull you through
F                                          G
When you lose hope all you gotta do is get on your knees again
C
Not long now and you're gonna see
Am
No mountain's too high for you or for me
    F                                      G
Or fall too far if you can believe and get on your knees,
                C
On your knees again


Verse 2:
      C
She folds up the paper and puts it in her bag
Am
Knows she really needs a savior like that
F
Walking past her church just up the street
       G
Says "maybe it's time to get on my knees"
       C
'Cause He was there when no one was around
Am
All of the people, but no one made a sound
G
Thinks of her brother, who's been feeling down
F                        G
Pulls out the paper and reads it aloud

(chorus)

Bridge:
       Am
You've given everything you got
            F
Still it's hard to believe
Am
Love comes from the inside out
        F
If you wanna be free
          Am
Ya gotta give your love and never stop
          F
When you think about giving up
            G
Get on your knees

(chorus, end with fading bridge)
