Verse 1:
A
She always said the world was over rated,
B
And she couldn't take the drama it created.
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.

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.
THE END
I hpe this helps you out some, God bless
