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
