[Intro]
[F]

[Verse 1]
[C]We were sitting there nervous trying
[Dm]to keep our eyes from making contact
[C]You were laying there looking worse
[Dm]than you had looked the previous Sunday
[C]I was trying to imagine how it felt for you and you released it

[Chorus 1]
[F]Tried to put myself inside your shoes and felt like that was selfish
[C]I don't know what it looks like where
you are but I mean it must look better
Than just laying around and counting down until you meet your Maker
I imagine that He held your hand and

[Verse 2]
[F]showed you that you're far from perfect
[C]That every single person he created
[Dm]has been a screw up you can't help it
[C]Might as well [Dm]just take that blame
[C]take off your shoes start getting comfy

[Chorus 2]
[F]There is nothing but forgiveness
[C]here the journey's over glad you met me
[F]There is nothing but deliverance here pure and logic than you could be
[C]And all the judgement that He yelled
about is more about yourself than you'd think

[Verse 3]
[F]I'm a 7 page laundry list of sinful deeds I swore were not me
[C]And I felt you're the shadow of my death still scares the soul out me
[Dm]I couldn't even wrap my head around
[C]how I could find [Dm]a throne for judging
[C]Still I sat there quietly, resenting you, resenting daddy

[Chorus 3]
[F]And all that I can do is hope and
[C]hope and hope that the Lord will treat me
[F]The way that I believe he treated
[C]you when you left this earth and body
