[Verse 1]
His [Am]mother
took her last breath and passed away
Death has a way of teaching
the lesson it has it's day
[Dm]An d dad didn't stay l[Am]eft before
[C]Jack turned [Dm]eight
Now
Jack has no one to [Am]love
so he turns away
Deceased mother and an invisible father
Why bother he constantly
says I oughta be dead
[C]His heart grows harder [Bb]and
darker and darker
[Am]Says he'll be remembered for
his premature departure
It's a long fall from the
roof he's standing on
Luck was as tough as
the concrete he landed on
[Dm]A life with promise ended
in question[Am]s
Inside [C]his bedroom,
he left this letter [Bb]beg ging for attention, it read
[Am]Petty me please, have pity on me I'm missing
the things that make my living complete
[Dm]Please, somebody feel [Am]sorry for me
When [Dm]I'm gone, you'll be sorry,
[Am]you'll see[Dm]
[Am]Katie's middle -aged and overweight,
teeters on obesity
She hopes against hope that when she eats,
she can be [Dm]free to forget
But it's in[C]grained in her mind
and ain't a [Dm]place to hide
Heartbreaks inside,
the past [Am]shakes her life
Remembers when her mother
was punched
And every touch that was followed by hush
[C]Alcoholic stepfather
[Bb]with wandering hands
She [Am]was just a kid, it wasn't her fault,
she doesn't understand
He beat her mama conscious [C]and
locked the [Am]door behind him
Took
Katie's innocence too,
but nobody stopped [Dm]him
Blames herself to this [Am]day
and over[C]eats to escape
[Dm]Says she has nothing to [Am]give, she
lost it when she was eight
And free as a bird but [C]thinks
she's [Am]caged
Mom's long gone but the memories
don't seem to be fading
[C]Hear her voice over[Bb]take, play her hiss
[Am]The last words on her lips were this
Her last words were this
Petty me please, have pity on me
I'm missing the things that
make my living complete
[Dm]Please somebody feel[Am] sorry for me
When [Dm]I'm gone you'll be sorry,
you'll see
[Am]Petty me please, have pity on me
Do you really think this is how
I wanted to be?
A broken hearted please
feel sorry for me
When I'm [Dm]gone you'll be [Am]sorry,
wait [C]an d see
It's the [Am]stockbroker that unfortunately
lost a fortune
Adolescent boy crying cause he
lost [Dm]his girlfriend
It's the janitor with [Am]six mouths to [Dm]feed
And a wife that says she
[C]doesn't need [Am]him
And wants to leave him
It's the young mom whose
baby stopped breathing
The father that lost his son cause he
caught his dad cheating
[C]Or mom
It's the
Viet[Bb]nam vet with nothing
but re[Am]grets
Saw nothing but death
Lost [Dm]his brothers [Am]an d his legs
It's the homeless man with no socks
Sleeping in a cardboard box
Wishing the winter ends and kids
throwing [Dm]rocks would stop
These are the people that [Am]need you
[Dm]The wall is up but it's so easy
to [Am]see through
Democrat souls who need to
be consoled need to be told
I'm right here if you need
me to [Dm]hold you
Fragile warriors searching
for companionship
And through your love let them see
Christ with [Am]his hand on them
Pity them please, have pity on these
They're missing the things that
made their living complete
[Dm]They're lost with no hope,
tossed to and fro
They bear the cross of loss to the broke
[Am]Pity them please, have pity on these
They're missing the things that
make their living complete
Their com[C]pletion [Bb]lies in
Jesus
[F]Love them like
[Am]Christ and you'll see
Him
