[Verse 1]
[D]Tha[Dsus4]t steel[D][Dsus4]
[D]was cold and hard
when they [G]slapped him on my wrist
[D]Seventeen headed straight to jail,
[A]drunk on half a fifth
But [D]daddy drove down to the jailhouse
Said, I [G]ain't gonna bail you out
Between these [D]steel bars
and mama's broken heart
Here's [A]something you can [G]think [D]about
He said, [G]an idiot man by
his own two hands
Bring a [D]hurricane on himself
Got [G]too much pride
to lift his eyes up to [A]heaven[D][G][D][A][G][D]
I went to my best friend's funeral
He left a [G]wife and two young kids
I [D]guess his reasons for dyin'
Got big[A]ger than his reason to live
That [D]preacher's voice faded
Into [G]rain and tears that day
Until [D]all I heard were my
daddy's words
As we [A]gathered [G]around the [D]grave
He said, [G]a minion man by
his own two hands
Bring a [D]hurtin' on himself
Got too [G]much pride to lift his eyes
up to [A]heaven for a little help
Now [D]everybody needs forgiveness
But even a good man [G]fails
The [D]good Lord's building mansions
The [A]devil's just [G]driving [D]nails
I heard [G]a s[D]tory about a carpenter
And a [A]tear rolled down my face
I [D]saw that cross and God's only son
With his hands nailed to [G]the wood
And I [D]thought of the years
it brought me here
When I [A]fi nally un[G]derstood
[D]How a min[G]i man by his own two hands
Bring a [D]hurtin' on himself
The [G]greatest gift that a man can give
Is dy[A]in' for someone else
Now [D]everybody gets forgiveness
Cause even a good [G]man fails
The [D]good Lord's building mansions
The [A]devil's just [G]driving [D]nails
Yeah, the good Lord's building mansions
The [A]devil's just [G]driving [D]nails[Dsus4]
You
