Matthew West – A Friend In The World (Guitar)

A
She always said the world was over rated,

B
And she couldn't take the drama it created.

D
And it's a wonder she didn't wind up jaded,

A
For all the times she'd been let down.

A
Well mom and dad split up when she was four years old,

B
And let the world that she knew start spinning out of control.

D
She grew up feeling a hole in her soul.

D
'cause the was never around. She said; 

A                           B
Why's everybody always leavin'?

B                              D
I just want someone to believe in,

D                          B
And secret who believes in me.

A                                       B
When you can't find a friend in the world,

                    D                                    
A friend in the world, love is reaching out.

A                                       B 
When you can't find a friend in the world,

                    D              A
A friend in the world, you got one now.

A
Well I grew up in the glass house of a preacher,

B
Where every move I ever made was a feacher.

D
And when you don't do what they teach ya,

A
See they always point you out.

A
Yeah, boy  it's just like Toby Mac used to say;

B
"Some people gotta learn the hard way",

D
And when I couldn't out run all the things that I've done,

D
I picked up the phone and my dad said son. 

A
This is where the story gets crazy,

B
and this is the part that's so amazing.

D
you see the girl I talked about 

A
in the first verse became my wife.

A
And there's one last thing I'd like to mention.

B
We owe it all to the author of redemption.

D
Because He reached her life, reached my life,

D
and is reachin' out now take a look around.
