[C]
[G] [Em]
[G] I've got a hammer and an awkward nail that won't go down
[Em] I can try real hard but still it won't go down
[G] Could you help me do it Jesus?
Tell me how to do it Jesus?
I don't know how
The shadow in the corner is a stray cat that we have found
[Em]
I've paid a thousand bucks once to keep that cat around
[G] [D]
[G] Now it's lying on the pavement and the kids are crying to [C] save it
But I don't [G] know how
[D] Did you straighten that nail with a magic tip?
[G] Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules?
Jesus, [D] Jesus
What's amazing to me about a man [G] like you is that you've raised the dead but had to suffer too Jesus
I've [D]
[G] got a mountain up ahead and a few I've left behind
[Em]
And I'm getting kinda scared of what I'm gonna find
Were [G] you scared to do it Jesus?
Tell [C] me how you [G] did it Jesus?
I don't know how

[G] The prison is a place that my future will define
I [Em] want to slow things down and take a little time
Could [C] you help me do it [G] Jesus?
I want to [C] live a little Jesus
I don't [G] know how
