[C]I met Craig at a church called [F]Redeeming Grace Like he [G]understood my “I don’t want to [C]be here” face I felt out of place and I [F]smelled like beer But he just [G]shook my hand, said “I’m [C]glad you’re here” [C]He said “we’ll all be judged” But he was [F]never judgemental And [G]even though my songs don’t [C]belong in no hymnal He’d quote me my lyrics, [F]slap me on the back Said [G]”Man you’ve got a gift! How [C]you write like that?”

[Am]I know, he sounds [G]cool right? Not your [F]typical kid from Sunday School, right? I still ain’t figured out church [G]yet But [C]Craig, I get, nah he can’t walk on [F]water, turn the [G]Napa Valley r[C]ed But he just might be [F]tight with a [G]man that [C]did Yeah he’s not the light of the [F]world But I wish that [G]mine was bright as [C]his Yeah he just [F]might be tight with a m[G]an that i[C]s
