Verse 1:
A
She always said the world was over rated,
B
And she couldn't take the drama it created.
D
And it's a wonder she didn't wind up jaded,
A
For all the times she'd been let down.
A
Well mom and dad split up when she was four years old,
B
And let the world that she knew start spinning out of control.
D
She grew up feeling a hole in her soul.
D
'cause the was never around. She said;
Pre-chorus:
A B
Why's everybody always leavin'?
B D
I just want someone to believe in,
D B
And secret who believes in me.
Chorus:
A B
When you can't find a friend in the world,
D
A friend in the world, love is reaching out.

See they always point you out.
A
Yeah, boy it's just like Toby Mac used to say;

D
And when I couldn't out run all the things that I've done,
D
I picked up the phone and my dad said son.

This is where the story gets crazy,
B
and this is the part that's so amazing.

A
And there's one last thing I'd like to mention.
