I got the lyrics from her video of the original song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35say5G5cz8
I know that the A# is kinda scary, so I change it up a bit, like this... e|-1-| B|-3-| G|-3-| D|-3-| A|-x-| E|-x-|
Play the A shape with your middle, ring, and pinky fingers one fret up, and add the pointer to the first fret of the e string... be sure to mute the top two strings with your thumb. (I also do this with B because barre chords are scary...)
F "Everything's gonna be alright." C She whispers to herself. Dm She was only 6 years old that night. A# As she hid behind that shelf. F Cause daddy had a little too much to drink. CDm And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt. A# But she still felt the pain...
F Well 10 years they came and went, C and dad was gone. Dm So she looked for love in other men. A# And tried to act strong.
FC Broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see. DmA# Cause she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something.
F And as she sat there on that bed, C thinking bout what those girls said, Dm tears streamed down her eyes. A# She cried...
F "If there's a God out there C Please hear my prayer. Dm I'm lost and I'm scared, A#F and I've got nowhere else to go. C I've come a long, long way. DmA# But I'm not sure I can make it much farther... FC So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand. DmA# To your daughter."
F Well her path started to change. C She reached out and grabbed God's grace. DmA# And finally, she saw a light. F Until that night... Where she decided one drink was alright, C and one thing led to another. Dm Next thing you know, 9 months go by, A# she's a mother.
F And as she laid there in that bed. C Stroking that small angel's head. Dm Tears streamed down her eyes. A# She cried...
F "If there's a God out there C Please hear my prayer. Dm I'm lost and I'm scared, A#F and I've got nowhere else to run. C I've come a long, long way. DmA# But I'm not sure I can be the best mother... FC So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand. DmA# To your daughter."
FC Well that baby grew into a boy. DmA# Who became her pride and joy. F He loved her like no man could. CDm And her heart felt peace, cause she finally understood. A# God's love.
F And as she laid there in that bed, C 99 years old. Dm She grabbed her son's hand and said. A# "There's something you must know..."
F "There is a God up there. C Who heard my prayer. Dm I was lost and afraid. A#F And I had nowhere else to go. CDm I had no clue, what to do A# And then He sent me you."
F So if you're lost and afraid, C and you feel so alone, Dm don't worry child, A# cause there's a Father who will love you as His own. FCDmA# Just like he loved his daughter. FCDmA# Like he loved His daughter.
