There is a walk down from G to Em most of the time
[Intro] GEmCadd9GEmDG
[Verse] GCadd9 pictures on the wall, bible in her hand DCadd9G children never call, she misses her old man GCadd9 Rain on the window, quiet as a tear DCadd9G And if you never felt'em, you'll never know there here
[Chorus] EmCadd9G Someone's cryin' in the hall EmCadd9D Good Lord help us all EmCadd9GCadd9 While we try to stay afloat Em if you would Lord DG send a boat
[Verse] GCadd9 Holes in the wall, bottle by his bed DCadd9G Holes in his past, empty as his head GCadd9 He's younger when he dreams, he's older than his years DCadd9G if if he never wakes up he'll know why he's here
[Chorus] EmCadd9G someones crying in the hall EmCadd9D Good Lord help us all EmCadd9GCadd9 while we try to stay afloat Em if you would Lord DG send a boat
[Instrumental] GEmCG EmCDCGC EmDG
[Verse] GCadd9 Writings on the wall, bruise on his face DCadd9G daddy's come and go, his mama's on a date GCadd9 hes just cold and hungry, playing ain't no fun DCadd9G and if he ever grows up, he'll get him a gun
[Chorus] EmCadd9G someones cryin' in the hall EmCadd9D Good Lord help us all EmCadd9GCadd9 why we try to stay afloat Em if you would Lord DG send a boat
