INTRO: Bm A D Bm A G

          Bm           A      D
WELL IT'S FIVE FIFTEEN IN THE MORNIN 
        Bm             A            G
AND HER HUSBANDS STILL DRUNK IN THE BED
    Em                  Bm
SHE SITS AT HER KITCHEN TABLE 
        Em                      A
SHES AS BLUE AS THE SIDE OF HER HEAD

WELL SHE'S CALLIN' UPON YOU AGAIN LORD 
LIKE SHE DOES MOST EVERY DAY
ASKING FOR THE COURAGE TO LEAVE HIM 
IF YOU COULD ONLY HELP FIND HER A WAY

            G    A           D
CAUSE ITS A HARD LIFE WE'RE LIVIN' 
             Bm      A      G
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO SEE US THROUGH
                 A
IT'S HARD TO LET GO OF SOMEONE WE LOVE
     Em          A             D
WHEN NO ONE KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU

ITS 10:30 AT HIS OFFICE
AND EVERBODYS LONG GONE HOME
ON HIS DESK THERE'S A BIG STACK OF PAPERS
CAUSE THE DEBT JUST KEEPS PILIN' ON

AINT THE FIRST TIME HE'S TASTED THE METAL
OF HIS CHEAP PAWN SHOP GUN
HE'S GOT NO ONE ELSE LEFT TO TURN TO
AND THERE'S NO WHERE ELSE LEFT TO RUN

CAUSE IT'S A HARD LIFE WE'RE LIVIN'
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO SEE US THROUGH
WE DONT HAVE TO FACE OUR BURDENS ALONE
AND NO ONE KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU

REMEMBER THAT NIGHT IN THE GARDEN 
WHEN HE FELL ON HIS KNEES TO PRAY
PLEADING FOR YOU TO TAKE THIS CUP FROM HIM
AND SPARE HIM THE AGONY AND SHAME

ON THE CROSS HE HUNG THERE IN ANGUISH 
RAISED HIS VOISE CANL CALLED OUT TO YOU
SAYING FATHER WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN YOUR SON
AND FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO

CAUSE ITS A HARD LIFE WE'RE LIVIN' 
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO SEE US THROUGH
IT'S HARD TO LET GO OF SOMEONE WE LOVE
BUT NO ONE KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU
NO NO ONE KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU
