Friend in High Places

Intro:
C  C
Verse:
C
I'm a simple man
                                                                     G
With dust on these cracked and calloused hands
                                                                F
I ain't rich enough to buy myself a chance
                              C
Like everybody else
                                                            G
I got a twisted, broken story I could tell
                                                                   F
Paved the road to hell with stones I laid myself
                                    Am
And I built it all too well

Chorus:
                  F
Well I know what I've done
                 F
And if judgment should come
                      C
I couldn't face it
                G
On my own
                    F
But the Savior stepped in
                   F                                  Am
Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it
                                G                 
Guess you could say 
                                            C
I've got a friend in high places

Verse 2:
                          C
Yeah I'm livin proof
                                                            G
What a carpenter from Nazareth can do
                                                               F
How a hammer and a nail can make things new
                                               C
And I don't know why He cared
                                                               G
Enough to turn His head and hear my prayer
                                                                       F
Leave Heaven when He could have just stayed there
                                 Am
It really don't seem fair
                               G
No it don't seem fair

Chorus:
                  F
Well I know what I've done
                 F
And if judgment should come
                      C
I couldn't face it
                G
On my own
                    F
But the Savior stepped in
                   F                                  Am
Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it
                                G                 
Guess you could say 
                                            C
I've got a friend in high places

Chorus:
                  F
Well I know what I've done
                 F
And if judgment should come
                      C
I couldn't face it
                G
On my own
                    F
But the Savior stepped in
                   F                                  Am
Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it
                                G                 
Guess you could say 
                                     F

Outro:
                             C
If you need a friend
                                                   
Who ain't scared of what you've done 
                                G
or where you've been
                                                       F
Just open up the door and let Him in
                            C
If you need a friend
