On The Inside

          D                        
Its got a ten foot rusted steeple, 
A
scarred by mother nature
      Bm                           
And a weathered front door about to
          G
 lose its war with father time
         D                         
And that mud hole in the driveway, 
        A
it gets deeper every Sunday
    Bm     A                G
The "W" is missing from its worn out
 welcome sign
    Em        D/F#   G           
The grass out in the graveyard 
         D        D/F#  G
ain't been cut since late July


[Chorus 1]
           D                A
But on the inside, well now thats a 
different story
      Bm            A            
Their singing glory glory, never 
G              A
been so full of life
         D                        
A ray of hope shines through that 
A
broken stained glass window
         Bm                 A     
And its amazing how it hits those 
      G
heavy hearts at the right time
         Em      D/F#      G     
when its dark out, even the blind
            A            G
 can see the light on the inside

[Verse 2]
          D                        
Well, she dresses like a Barbie and
     A
 she cusses like a sailor
     Bm                            
She's earned that piece of sidewalk
         G
 by the avenue off of Main
   D                           A
She don't leave that corner for 
nothing but top dollar
     Bm              A       G
Cause nothing but top dollar keeps 
that habit in her veins,
   Em        D/F#      G         
She blends in with the other 
        D      D/F#      G
trash you'll see if you drive by


[Chorus 2]
           D                A
But on the inside, well now thats a 
different story
            Bm               
She's just a girl from Burns, 
   A            G              A
Wyoming, that ran away one night
            D                   
And when she ain't high, how she 
 A
misses mom and daddy
    Bm                  A      
She wants them there so badly to 
       G
make everything alright
      Em        D/F#    G        
Never been more lost or scared in
           A           G
 her young life on the inside


[Bridge]
          Bm           G          
Well that girl finally found her 
        D
way back home
          Bm     G            D
Where her family showers with love
        Bm                A       
And she found her own way-down to 
       G
that ol church
             G                  
You know the one, sure could use 
            A
some fixin up


[Chorus 3]
          D                A
But on the inside, well now thats a 
different story
      Bm            A            
Their singing glory glory, never 
G              A
been so full of life
         D                        
A ray of hope shines through that 
A
broken stained glass window
         Bm                 A     
And its amazing how it hits those 
      G
heavy hearts at the right time
         Em      D/F#       G    
when its dark out, even the blind
             A            G
 can see the light on the inside
