A Friend In The World Matthew West
Lyrics and guitar chords
A
She always said the world was overratedB
And she couldn't take the drama it createdD
It's a wonder that she didn't wind up jadedA
From all the times she's been let down G
A
Well, mom and dad split up when she was four years oldB
And left the world as she knew it spinning out of controlD
And she grew up feeling a hole in her soulA
'Cause they were never aroundF#m
She said, "why's everybody always leBm
aving?I just want someone to be
D
lieve inAnd someone who believes in me"

I grew up in the glass house of a preacherB
Where every move I ever made was a featureD
And when you don't always do what they teach youA
You see, they always point you out G
A
But it's just like tobyMac used to say,B
"Some people gotta learn the hardway"D
And when I couldn't outrun all the things I'd doneI picked up the phone and my dad said, "son …"
When you

This is where the story gets crazyB
And this is the part that's so amazingD
You see, the girl I sang about in the first verseA
Became my wifeA
And there's one last thing I'd like to mentionB
We owe it all to the author of redemptionD
Because He reached her life and He reached my lifeAnd He's reaching out now take a look around
