Catchin’ and releasin’ Didn’t feel it creepin’

Built that church from the sand to the steeple

I didn’t know him except by his journalin' hand

F#m                  A
If you can find him, you can love him

But girl, you got to be honest about him

F#m                        A                           B     D
Or you’ll be fighting them weeds for the rest of your days

But that's all right, I’ll prove my worth

D                         A     E
A little bit right-but my family, you know, they set me free

D                           A         E                 Bm
