*Please note that this is not the exact key that Molly does the song in, but it's very close to it and
much easier*
[Verse]
G
Everything's gonna be alright
D
She whispers to herself
Am
She was only 6 years old that night
C
As she hid behind that shelf
G
Cuz daddy had a little too much to drink
D Am
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt
C
But she still felt the pain
G
Well 10 years they came and went
D
And dad was gone
Am
So she looked for love in other men
C
And tried to act strong.
G D
Oh broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see
Am C (Once)
Cuz she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something
[Bridge]
G
And as she sat there on her bed
D
thinkin bout what those girls said
Am
tears streamed down her eyes
C (Once. Pause)
She cried
[Chorus]
G
If there's a God out there
D
Please hear my prayer.
Am
I'm lost and I'm scared
C G
and I've got no where else to go
D
I've come a long, long way
Am C (Once. Pause.)
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther ...
G D
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
G Am C
To your daughter.
[Verse]
G
Well her path started to change
D
She reached out and grabbed God's grace
Am C (Once)
And finally, she saw a light
(No chord)
Until that night where
G
She decided one drink was alright
D
and one thing led to another
Am
Well next thing you know, 9 months go by
C
she's a mother.
[Bridge]
G
And as she laid there in that bed
D
Stroking that small angel's head
Am
Tears streamed down her eyes
C (Once. Pause)
She cried
[Chorus]
G
If there's a God out there
D
Please here my prayer.
Am
I'm lost and I'm scared
C G
and I've got no where else to run
D
I've come a long, long way
Am C (Once. Pause)
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother
G D
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
G Am C
To your daughter.
[Verse]
G D
Well that baby grew into a boy
Am C
Who became her pride and joy
G
He loved her like no man could
D Am (Once. Pause)
And her heart felt peace, cuz she finally understood
C
God's love.
[Bridge]
G
And as she laid there in that bed
D
99 years old
Am
She grabbed her son's hand and said
C (Once. Pause)
There's something you must know...
[Chorus]
G
There is a God up there
D
Who heard my prayer
Am
I was lost and afraid
C G
And I had no where else to go.
D Am
I had know clue, what to do
C (Once. Pause)
And then He sent me you.
G
So if you're lost and afraid
D
and you feel so alone
Am
don't worry child
C (Once)
cuz there's a Father who will love you as His own
G Am C
Just like he loved his daughter.
G Am C
Like he loved His daughter.
(End on G)
