Craig Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I met Craig [F]at a church
called Re[Dm]deeming Grace
[F]It's like he understood my[C]
"I don't want to be here" face
I felt out of place and I [Db]smelled
[F]like beer
But he just [G]shook my hand,
said "I'm [C]glad you're here"
He says "we'll all be judged"
But he was [F]never judgemental
[G]And even t[C]hough my song
s don't belong in no hymna
He'd quote me my lyrics,
[F]slap me on the back
Said [G]"Man you've got a gift!
How you [C]write like that?"

[Verse 2]
Yeah I [Am]know, he sounds [G]cool right?
Not your [C]typical kid [F]from
Sunday School, right?
I [Am]still ain't figured out church [G]yet
But [F]Craig, [C]I get
Nah he can't walk [F]on water,
turn the [G]Napa Valley [C]red
But [Em]he just mi[C]ght be[F] tight
with a [G]man that did
[Am]Now he's not t[C]he light of th[F]e world
But I wish that [G]mine was bright [C]as his
Yeah [Em]he just m[C]ight b[F]e tight with a
[G]man [C]that[F]
[G][C][G]
[C]is

[Verse 3]
When [C]you lose a record [F]deal,
yeah all the perks fade fast
[G]Dealership said,
"We're going to need to get that [C]mini- van back"
So we were [Em]down [C]to one car
And [F]broke as I felt
My [G]wife and six kids and only
[C]five seat belts
I needed help [F]but couldn't
admit I was struggling
Said, [G]"Craig, it's all good"
But he [C]knew it all wasn't
A [Em]"Hey man I'm [F]praying for you"
would've been sufficient but nah
[G]He took roadside assis[C]tance
to a whole other level
To sacrificial heights

[Verse 4]
Showed [C]up at the ballpark after
my son's game one night
In two cars, with his wife Laura
watching from the other
[F]I said "What in t[Bb]he world are y'all doi[F]ng here,
brother?"
He just [C]laughed inside that old
Chrysler Town and Country van
With the [Em]keys, and a title,
and a pen in his [C]hand
Said "Man, all you got to do is
sign and it's yours"
I said [F]"No, no way"
But he [Dm]wouldn't [F]take "no"
for [Fm]an answer
He said "Please do
[Bb]Somebody did t[C]his for me once,[G]
just let me do this for you"
We argued about it for a little while
Then I teared up,
and Craig smiled

[Verse 5]
[Am]Yeah I know, he sounds [G]cool right?
Not your [C]typical kid [F]from
Sunday school, right?
Nah [C]he can't walk [F]on water,
or turn the [G]Napa Valley [C]red
But he just might [F]be tight with a [G]man that did
[C]Now he's not the light of [F]the world
But I wish that [G]mine was bright [C]as his
Yeah he just might [F]be tight with a
[G]man that [C]is
[F][G][C]
[F]

[Verse 6]
[G]
[C]My pride was way too ashamed to be ad
[F]equately grateful at the moment
But I [G]signed the dotted line,
and I [C]drove the kids home
And when the cop [Em]pulled up be[C]side us
At the [F]light, they didn't have to duck
[G]Because thanks to Craig
[C]They were all buckled up[F]
[G][C][F]
[G][C]
