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; Pre-chorus: A B Why's everybody always leavin'? B D I just want someone to believe in, D B And secret who believes in me. Chorus: 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. Na na na na na na na. E:8--7--5---7--8--7--5 Na na na na na na na. E:8--7--5---7--8--7--7 Na na na na na na na. E:8--7--5---7--8--7--5 Verse 2: 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. (Repeat chorus) Verse 3: 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.
