Theres A Person There

G She walks around the block with a silver plated cutter on her shoulder Cadd9 to chase the wolves off when they come. She'd rather fight C than run, so just be aware. G Everybody thinks she's crazy. I think maybe she just needs a (Cadd9) patient ear to listen to her stories, let her know somebody cares C and there's a person there. G Em7 I gave her a pair of shoes for C Christmas. Em7 She looked up and smiled and said D somebody must've listened. G I got shoes on. My C feet are off the D ground. Thank you G Jesus, this old C world won't get me D down. As Em7 long as I got D prayers to pay and Cadd9 bills to pay and G I'm still breathin' C air and there's a person there. G Last one she told me she was all down on her luck when the Cadd9 landlord wanted her to k**l her ex for a little money and a C truck. Mmm, but I ain't scared.

Maybe I'm a litte C crazy too. But Em7 crazy people always seem to D pull each other through. G I got shoes on. My C feet are off the D ground.

As Em7 long as I got D prayers to pay and Cadd9 bills to pay and G I'm still breathin' C air and there's a person there. G Her name's Sophia but she makes me call her mama and I don't Cadd9 mind 'cause my family's far away. It's nice sometimes, when C life ain't fair, to know there's a person there. G
