G                                   D     G
He lies awake there all alone most every night
D                           C
Looking back on all of his mistakes
C                    A                   G
Wishing through the tears that he could just go back
D                                                  A
'Cause there's a lot of things he'd like to change
C                 G            D
He just can't forgive himself and forget
Em           C           A
Even though God already did

[Chorus]
                  D
If He can love someone
                      A
and find the good within
                          Em
In spite of what they've done,
    A                     G
no matter where they've been
                  D
If He can let it go
                    A
and set the debtor free
                   D      A       G
If He can keep forgiving you and me
G
Why can't we

[Verse 2]
G                                          D      G
There've been times I've been so hurt by someone else
D                             C
I didn't wanna give a second chance
C                         A     G
I let all the bitterness take control
G                           C
And took grace into my own hands
G                                    D
But even Jesus said, "Whoever's done no wrong
C                         A
Let him throw the first stone"

[Chorus]
                  D
If He can love someone
                      A
and find the good within
                          Em
In spite of what they've done,
    A                     G
no matter where they've been
                  D
If He can let it go
                     A
and set the debtor free
                   D      A       G
If He can keep forgiving you and me
G
Why can't we



[Bridge]
         A
He was hated and rejected,
          C           G
betrayed by those He trusted
       C             A
Even hanging on the cross,
             D              A
 He said, "Father, please forgive them"

[Chorus]
                  D
If He can love someone
                      A
and find the good within
                          Em
In spite of what they've done,
    A                     G
no matter where they've been
                 D
If He can let it go
                     A
and set the debtor free
                   D      A       G
If He can keep forgiving you and me
G
Why can't we
G
Why can't we
G
Why Can't We
