[Verse 1]
He has anxi[F]ety, he's got the best of him
[Am]His condition is worsening
[F]Since we was last conversing
[G]I'm with him now, he ain't doing well
But this [F]I'm certain
This song's for every[Am]body who [G]knows
What [C]I'm going [G]through
[Em]If you understand what
I'm [G]talking [Am]about
Then this [C]song's for you [Em]too
[Am]I'm upside down
[F]And [Am]I'm needing you
[G]But I know
You'll be coming [Em]through
I'm in the fight of my [G]life
[Am]I hear you come to make it rig[G]ht
[Am]Lord, as [F]long as I could remember,
you've been my [Am]best friend
[G]Even as a little kid,
I'm talking way back then
[Em]I've always had this connection with you
[G]I was m[Am]esmerized, I just always knew
That [F]you'd be the one to come
and [Am]change my life
I mean, [G]save my life
in the darkest hours of my [Am]life
That I've [Em]ever seen
And I was down and out,
[G]and I was los[Am]t in between
And I was just about to give up on myself
Until you [F]sent me a [Am]friend
And you [G]talk to me through
him again and again
and I [Em]really needed those talks.
I would be out[Am]lined in chalk
He restored my faith
and now you're all that I want
cuz I've been really depressed
[G]I just gotta get this off my chest.
[Em]I can't function
cuz I'm super stressed.
[G]I nee[Am]d you in my life
cuz I'm such a mess
[F]Lord you promised me[Am]
[G]that if I followed you you walk with me
[Em]But when I looked at the
hardest times [G]in my life
[Am]I only see one set of footprints,
[G]please tell me [Am]why
[F]When I needed you the [Am]most,
[G]you weren't there for me
I was alone, [Em]he replied,
I was [Am]always there [G]with you
When [Am]you see one set of prints,
that's when I carried you
There are people dying in this world
[G]Parents los[Am]ing their little boys and girls
An[G]d I'm over here c[Em]ry
ing about anxi[Am]ety
He's the monster that lives inside of me
And I feel so damn selfish,
but I can't help it, I feel so [Em]helpless
And I'm losing myself,
[Am]cause I really need help,
if nothing [Em]else
[Am]I just rea[F]lly need someone,
[G]to just give me a hug,
or something
[Em]I'm scared to watch my own kids,
[Am]cause I never know when it's gonna kick[G]
[Am]Out of nowhere, snap[F], there it is,[Am]
[G]I can't keep living like t[Em]his
Lord, you please [G]fix it?
[Am]Why does this keep happening to me?
What is this?
[F]Lord, you promised me[Am]
[G]That if I followed you,
you'd walk with me
[Em]But when I looked at the
hardest times [G]in my life
[Am]I only see one set of footprints
[G]Please tell me [Am]why
When I [F]needed you the [Am]most
[G]You weren't there for me
I was alone
[Em]He replied, I was always there w[G]ith you
When [Am]you see one set of prints
That's when I carried you
[F]I'll do anything to be [Am]me again
[G]who I used to be my old friend
[Em]I guess everybody ch[G]anges,
[Am]but these changes leave
me with sad faces
And [F]scars across [Am]my heart
[G]that kind of stuff tears me [Am]apart. [Em]I
Just want my old [G]life back [Am]when I was
happy before these anxiety attacks
Will I [F]ever be the [Am]same [G]so when [Dm]you
I [G]put my faith and I [Em]live in your name
I pray you [Am]rescue me.
I need you now.
There's nothing left to me
cuz the devil's [F]constantly
Test[Am]ing me s[G]ince I gave you
my heart and the rest of me
[Em]I know you love me and
you for[G]gave me
[Am]you're who made me.
Please [Em]save [F]me
Lord you promised [Am]me
[G]that if I [Dm]followed you [G]you walk with me
[Em]But when I looked at the
hardest times [G]in my life,
[Am]I only see one set of footprints
Please [G]tell me [Am]why
when I [F]needed you the [Am]most
[G]you weren't there for me.
I was alone
[Em]He replied I was always there wi[G]th you
when [Am]you see one set of prints.
That's when I carried [F]you[G][Em][G][Am]
Lord [Em]you gotta help my man.
I'm praying [Am]for him daily.
He ain't seen but it just
seemed as if he going crazy
