Intro: A5  B5  D5 A5

A5
She always said the world was overrated
B5
And she couldn't take the drama it created
D5
It's a wonder that she didn't wind up jaded
A5                                        G5
From all the times she's been let down
A5
Well, mom and dad split up when she was four years old
B5
And left the world as she knew it spinning out of control
D5
And she grew up feeling a hole in her soul
A5
'Cause they were never around
F#5                                 B5
She said, "why's everybody always leaving?
                         D5
I just want someone to believe in

And someone who believes in me"

A5
I grew up in the glass house of a preacher
B5
Where every move I ever made was a feature
D5
And when you don't always do what they teach you

A5                                    G5
You see, they always point you out
A5
But it's just like tobyMac used to say,
B5
"Some people gotta learn the hardway"
D5
And when I couldn't outrun all the things I'd done

I picked up the phone and my dad said, "son ?"

This is where the story gets crazy
B5
And this is the part that's so amazing
D5
You see, the girl I sang about in the first verse
A5
Became my wife
A5
And there's one last thing I'd like to mention
B5
We owe it all to the author of redemption
D5
Because He reached her life and He reached my life

And He's reaching out now take a look around
