Did you really make the world in seven days and seven nights?

'Cause I don't know if you exist or if I even care,

    F             C                 F              C
But when I lay me down to sleep I'd like somebody there.


            G            Am                             G
'Cause it's hard to make sense of this all, and it gets harder with each

right".
