Esus Em7
Her parents never took the young girl to church,
Esus
Never spoke of His name,
Em7
Never read her His word.
Esus Em7
Two non-believers walking lost in this world,
Esus
Took their baby with them,
Em7
What a sad little girl.
Esus Em7
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs.
Esus
Never wanted to play,
Esus Em7 Esus
Or give kisses and hugs.
Esus Em7
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch,
Esus
While her mom fell asleep,
Em7
And her daddy went out.

Chorus 1
A Emin
And the drinking and the fighting,
Emin
Just got worse every night.
A Emin
Behind their couch, she'd be hiding:
Emin
Oh, what a sad little life.
--------------PLAY THROUGH INTRO--------------
Esus Em7
And like it always does, the bad just got worse,
Esus
With every slap,
Em7
And every curse.
Esus Em7
Until her daddy, in a drunk rage one night,
Esus
Used a gun on her mom,
Em7
And then took his life.
A Emin
And some people from the city,
Emin
Took the girl far away.
A Emin
To a new mom and a new dad:
Emin
Kisses and hugs every day.
-------------PLAY THROUGH INTRO---------------
Quietly!
Esus Esus
Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in,
Em7
And a small little girl,
Em7 Esus
Stared a picture of Him.
Esus Esus
She said I know that man up there on that cross,
Em7
I don't know His name,
Esus
But I know He got off.
A Emin
'Cause he was there in my old house
Emin
And held me close to His side.
A Emin
As I hid there, behind our couch,
Emin
The night that my parents died.
-------LAST TIME THROUGH INTRO (Retard last measure)------------
