On The Inside

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


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

[Verse 2]
          D                             A
Well, she dresses like a Barbie and she cusses like a sailor
     Bm                                     G
She's earned that piece of sidewalk 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                 D      D/F#      G
She blends in with the other trash you'll see if you drive by


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


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


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