Capo 1

[Intro]
G Em G Em

[Verse 1]
G Em
He was sitting on the front porch of a half-way house
C G
Chainin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee
G Em
I was walkin' by on my way home
C G
Stopped and said, hello, how are ya
Em A7
He looked at me and said, I've seen better days
C D
I looked at him and said, there's a better way

[Chorus 1]
G
Three nails and a cross
C G
Equal forgiveness
G Em
Just like you, I was lost
A7 Am7 D
And that's hell to have to live with
Em Baug
I've sat on the front porch where you're sittin' now
Em7 A7
I kept lookin' deep inside 'til I figured out
G D G
Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness

[Interlude]
G Em G Em

[Verse 2]
G Em
She was sittin' on her bed crying crocodiles
C G
Sixteen ain't a good age to be pregnant
G Em
And she thinks mom and dad won't love her anymore
C G
Like the boy who swore he always would but doesn't
Em A7
She turns and sees that Bible laying by her bed
C D
And she crumbles to her knees as she bows her head

[Chorus 2]
G
Three nails and a cross
C G
Equal forgiveness
G Em
Lord help me 'cause I'm lost
A7 Am7 D
And that's hell to have to live with
Em Baug
I need you more than ever now, without a doubt
Em7 A7
I've made a big mistake, can you help me out
G D Em A7
Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
G D G
Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness

[Outro]
