Verse 1:
C F
I met Craig at a church called Redeeming Grace
G C
Like he understood my "I don't want to be here" face
Em F
I felt out of place and I smelled like beer
G C
But he just sHook my hand, said "I'm glad you're here"
C
He says "we'll all be judged"
F
But he was never judgemental
G C
And even though my songs don't belong in no hymnal
Em F
He'd quote me my lyrics, slap me on the back
G C
Said "Man you've got a gift! How you write like that?"
Chorus:
Am G
Yeah I know, he sounds cool right?
Em F
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
Am G
I still ain't figured out church yet
F C
But Craig, I get
C F G C
Nah he can't walk on water, or turn the Napa Valley red
Em F G C
But he just might be tight with a man that did
C F
No he's not the light of the world
G C
But I wish that mine was bright as his
Em F G C
Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is
Interlude:
C F G C
hoo-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Em F G C
hoo-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Verse 2:
C F
You lose a record deal, yeah all the perks fade fast
G C
Dealership said, "We're going to need to get that mini-van back"
Em F
So we were down on one car
And broke as I felt
G C
My wife and six kids with only five seat belts
C F
I needed help but couldn't admit, I was strong
G
Said, "Craig, it's all good"
C
But he knew it all wasn't
Em F
A "Hey man I'm praying for you" would've been sufficient but nah
G C
He took roadside assistance to a whole other level
Bridge:
C
to sacrificial heights
G
Showed up at the ballpark after my son's game one night
C7
In two cars, with his wife Barb watching from the other
F
Said "What in the world are y'all doing here, brother?"
C
He just laughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van
G
With the keys, and a title, and a pen in his hand
C7
Said "Man, all you got to do is sign and it's yours"
F
I said "No, no way"
Fm6
But he wouldn't take "No" for an answer
Said "Please do
C
Somebody did this for me once, just let me do this for you"
Gadd11
We argued about it for a little while
G
Then I teared up, and Craig smiled
Chorus:
Am G
I know, he sounds cool right?
Em F
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
C F G C
Nah he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red
C F G C
But he just might be tight with a man that did
C F
Yeah he's not the light of the world
G C
But I wish that mine was bright as his
Em F G C
Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is
Interlude:
C F G C
hoo-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Em F G C
hoo-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Verse 3:
C F
My pride was way too ashamed to be adequately grateful at the moment
G C
But I signed the dotted line, and I drove the kids home
Em F
And when the cop pulled up beside us at the light, they didn't have to duck
G C
Because thanks to Craig
They were all buckled up
Outro:
