Verse 1
(G major) We don't have much here
But (Csus2) you're welcome to it all
The preacher (Dsus4) (D major) told the stranger (Csus2)
(C major) at (Csus2) the door (C major) (G major)
(C major) Come sit (G major) down by this fire
Let the coffee (Csus2) warm you up
I can't see (G major) I've (D major) seen rain (C major) this hard before
(G major) The stranger (E minor) said "I saw (D major) your sign,
as I was (Csus2) walk (C major) ing down the road"
"And I (E minor) figured that a church (D major) might be
the safest (C major) place to (Csus2) (Dsus4) go"
(D major) Well son,
Verse 2
(G major) crosses sure get heavy
And we've (D major) all got one to bear
(C major) And if you're look (E minor) ing for a shelter (D major)
From the storm, (C major)
you'll find one here (Csus2)
They sat (G major) and talked for hours
(D major) There in that empty church (E flatdim)
About (E minor) how life's unfair sometimes (D major)
(C major) Trying to make sense (G major) of how God
(A minor) works (Dsus4)
The preacher said (D major)

Verse 3
"I lost (G major) my son one summer,
And he was (Csus2) only 25
A drunk driver (D major) crossed that
(C major) double (Csus2) yellow (C major) line (G major)
And I prayed so hard to Jesus,
To save (Csus2) my only son
It seems (D major) all I do these days (C major)
(Csus2) is question (C major) why (G major)
Now I stand (E minor) here every Sunday,
(D major) and preach to (C major) everybody else
And I talk (E minor) a lot about forgive (D major) ness,
but I can (C major) 't do it myself" (D major)
(Dsus4) (D major)
Verse 4
Son, crosses (G major) sure get heavy
And we've (D major) all got one to bear
(E minor) I don't know why I'm telling (D major) you all this
Or (C major) if you even care (Csus2)
(C major) They sat (G major) and talked for hours
(D major) There in that empty church (E flatdim)
About (E minor) how life's unfair (D major) sometimes
(C major) Trying to make sense (G major) of how God
(A minor) works

Verse 5
Tears (G major) filled the strangers eyes
He said (C major) "I know (Csus2) I've changed a lot
I might (D major) be hard (C major) for you to recognize
(G major) (C major) But late (G major) one summer night
(C major) I'd had (Csus2) too much to drink
I got behind (D major) the wheel and
changed (C major) both of our lives (G major)
And 'I'm (E minor) sorry' just ain't good
(D major) enough, when you (C major) hurt someone like that
And if (E minor) I could, God (D major) knows I'd give
my life (C major) to bring him (D major) back"
Verse 6
Preacher, crosses (G major) sure get heavy
And (D major) we've all got one to bear
And I'm here (E minor) to ask forgive (D major) ness
(C major) If you even care
They sat (G major) and talked for hours
(D major) There in that empty church (E flatdim)
About (E minor) how life's unfair (D major) sometimes
Try (C major) ing to make sense (G major) of how
God (A minor) works
