Amy Grant – Ask Me (Guitar)

  D
I see her as a little girl hiding in her room

       F#m
She takes another bath and she sprays her momma's perfume

     D
To try to wipe away the scent he left behind

 F#m
But it haunts her mind.

        D
You see she's his little rag, nothing more than just a waif

                F#m
And he's mopping up his need, she is tired and afraid

D                                                                F#m   E
Maybe she'll find a way through these awful years to disappear.

A
Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heaven

D                                    E
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?

A
Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heavens

D                               E                     D
I see no mercy and no one down here's naming names

E
    Nobody's naming names.

                  D
Now she's looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face

               F#m
No more frightened little girl, like she's gone without a trace

D
    Still she leaves the light burning in the hall

F#m
       It's hard to sleep at all.

              D
Still she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse

 F#m
Deep inside she's listening for a creaking in the house

       D
But no one's left to harm her, she's finally safe and sound

F#m                                     E        D
       There's a peace she's found.

A
Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heaven

D                                     E
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?

A
Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heavens

D                                   E
She said His mercy is bringing her life again.

A
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven (How do you know?)

D                                     E
Where did He go in the middle of her shame (Where did He go?)

A
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens (How do you know?)

D                                  E
She said his mercy is bringing her life again

D             E
     She's coming to life again.

D                        F#m
        He's in the middle of her pain, In the middle of her shame

D                                              F#m      B7sus
Mercy brings life, He's in the middle, Mercy in the middle.

      A
So ask me how I know

     D                         E
