Matthew West – A Friend In The World (Ukulele)

G
She always said the world was over rated,

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

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

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

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

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

C
She grew up feeling a hole in her soul.

C
'cause the was never around. She said; 

G                           A
Why's everybody always leavin'?

A                              C
I just want someone to believe in,

C                          A
And secret who believes in me.

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

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

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

                    C              G
A friend in the world, you got one now.

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

A
Where every move I ever made was a feacher.

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

G
See they always point you out.

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

A
"Some people gotta learn the hard way",

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

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

G
This is where the story gets crazy,

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

C
you see the girl I talked about 

G
in the first verse became my wife.

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

A
We owe it all to the author of redemption.

C
Because He reached her life, reached my life,

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