Verse 1:
G
She always said the world was over rated,
A
And she couldn't take the drama it created.
C
And it's a wonder she didn't wind up jaded,
G
For all the times she'd been let down.
G
Well mom and dad split up when she was four years old,
A
And let the world that she knew start spinning out of control.
C
She grew up feeling a hole in her soul.
C
'cause the was never around. She said; 

Pre-Chorus:
G                           A
Why's everybody always leavin'?
A                              C
I just want someone to believe in,
C                          A
And secret who believes in me.

Chorus:
G                                       A
When you can't find a friend in the world,
                    C                                    
A friend in the world, love is reaching out.
G                                       A 
When you can't find a friend in the world,
                    C              G
A friend in the world, you got one now.

Verse 2:
G
Well I grew up in the glass house of a preacher,
A
Where every move I ever made was a feacher.
C
And when you don't do what they teach ya,
G
See they always point you out.
G
Yeah, boy  it's just like Toby Mac used to say;
A
"Some people gotta learn the hard way",
C
And when I couldn't out run all the things that I've done,
C
I picked up the phone and my dad said son. 

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3:
G
This is where the story gets crazy,
A
and this is the part that's so amazing.
C
you see the girl I talked about 
G
in the first Verse became my wife.
G
And there's one last thing I'd like to mention.
A
We owe it all to the author of redemption.
C
Because He reached her life, reached my life,
C
and is reachin' out now take a look around.
