Intro: C5  A5  G5

Verse 1:
C5
Lately she's been thinking what her daddy said
A5
When you're winning you got more friends
     G5
But are they your friends?  If you fall they're gone,
F5                            G5
Something about those kinda people seems wrong
C5
Who's gonna be there when that phone call knocks her down
A5
All of the steeples, but she can't hear a bell sound
G5
Jumps on a bus to head downtown,
     F5                              G5
And picks up the paper that's been blowing around (It says)


Chorus:
C5
When your heart breaks He'll hurt for you
A5
Dreams are out of reach, He'll pull you through
F5                                          G5
When you lose hope all you gotta do is get on your knees again
C5
Not long now and you're gonna see
A5
No mountain's too high for you or for me
    F5                                      G5
Or fall too far if you can believe and get on your knees,
                C5
On your knees again


Verse 2:
      C5
She folds up the paper and puts it in her bag
A5
Knows she really needs a savior like that
F5
Walking past her church just up the street
       G5
Says "maybe it's time to get on my knees"
       C5
'Cause He was there when no one was around
A5
All of the people, but no one made a sound
G5
Thinks of her brother, who's been feeling down
F5                        G5
Pulls out the paper and reads it aloud

(chorus)

Bridge:
       A5
You've given everything you got
            F5
Still it's hard to believe
A5
Love comes from the inside out
        F5
If you wanna be free
          A5
Ya gotta give your love and never stop
          F5
When you think about giving up
            G5
Get on your knees

(chorus, end with fading bridge)
