G               
He was holdin' up a cardboard sign,
D
I didn't read it, I just drove on by
Em7
Thought to myself, man get a job
Cadd9
Then headed out in the downtown mall


G
Then later on on the evening news
D
There he was, in an interview
Em7
And they asked him, man how'd you end up here
Cadd9
And as his eyes filled up with tears, he said

     G                              D
You probably wouldn't think it, but I used to have a life
   C
A job I was proud of, a son and a beautiful wife
   G                        D
A house and a neighborhood, yeah man I had it good
  C               D            C                  G
Until the night our car hit that wall, and I lost it all


G
He said I tried to hold 'er on the road
D
But it was rainin' hard, and I lost control
Em7
And that other car swerved in our lane
Cadd9
I jerked the wheel and I hit the brakes, but there was

G
Nowhere to go, nothin' I could do
D
Later on that night when I came to
Em7
The doctor said I got bad news
C
So unless you've been there in those shoes

The next morning on my way to work, I rolled my window down
        Em7             D                Cadd9        D
I said 'hey man if you need a job, maybe I could help you out'
          Am             G/B               C           G/B
And as he climbed up in my old truck, I said I saw you on the news
         Am          G/B         C            D
And I realized, that could be me, standing in your shoes

Cuz the cancer took my wife away last fall
   Am            G/B           C      D

Yeah I lost it all
