[Verse 1]
Years [Em]ago she
[G]read a let[C]ter from the [G]teacher
Sen[Em]t home with her
[C]third grade [Am]son
[Em]Tested on some [G]reading,
he [C]had been caught [G]cheating
[Asus4]Why, she [A]said,
you told [C]me to make good grades
[Asus4]He said, she[A] tried to explai[C]n
Son, the way we [Am]go about
[C]it mat[Dsus4]ters
[D]It's the testimony [Am]of th[D]e heart
Yes, the way we [Am]go about i[C]t matt[D]ers
[Dsus4]It's the [D]proof of [Em]who
[F]we are[C][D][Am][C][D]
8
[Em]Years down the road,[G]
he's [C]in a load of [G]trouble
Drug[Em]s get him ex
[C]pelled from [Am]school
[Em]Mother stands her [G]ground,
he [C]curses [G]her[Asus4]
[A]It's good [C]money for things
that we need,
[Asus4]but she said it's wort[A]h
[C]nothing to me.
Cause the [Am]way we go [C]about it mat[D]ters,
it's the [Am]testimony [C]of the [D]heart.
Yes, the [Am]way we go a[C]bout it [D]matters
It's the [Em]proof of [F]who we
[C]truly [D]are[Am][C]
[D]Who we truly [Em]are[G]
[C][Em][G][C]
Tonight [Am]she'll welcome home
[C]the boy she[Em] raised alone
Who has done [G]his time in prison
like [D]his father
Friends [Am]will come,
they'll dance and laugh
She'll prepare [Em]the fatted calf
And at [G]her table he will take
the seat of [D]honor
And she'll hold him in her arms because
The [Am]way we go [C]about it mat[D]ters
It's the [Am]testimony [C]of the [D]heart
Yes, the [Am]way we go a[C]bout it [D]matters
It's the [Em]proof of who [F]we [C]are
It's the [Em]proof of who [F]we [C]truly [D]are[Am][D]
Who we truly [Em]are[A]
