Where I Found The Lord

[Intro]
Am  C  G  Am
Am  C     G   Am
      Hmm mm.
 
 
[Verse 1]
             Am
I was headed home on a two-lane blacktop,
         C
Rain was falling hard and fast,
       G
Took a turn where the pavement ended,
       Am
Didn't know I'd left the map.
 
 
[Verse 2]
              Am
My phone went dark, my headlights faded,
         C
Couldn't tell north from south,
       G
Then I saw a porch light glowing,
      Am
On an old white farmhouse.
 
 
[Verse 3]
       Am
An old man opened up the door,
     C
Like he'd been waiting there,
             G
Said come on in, son, dry up a while,
           Am
And pulled up an old chair.
 
 
[Verse 4]
           Am
He knew my name, knew where I'd been,
     C
Knew things I'd never said,
                  G
Said you can stop running now, my son.
                  Am
You don't have to carry that again.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Am                     C
I got lost on a road I never seen,
        G                                    Am
Found a light where there wasn't supposed to be,
        Am                         C
Found a door when I had nowhere to go,
        G                      Am
Found a peace that I had never known.
 
 
[Chorus]
            Am                         Am
He said sometimes you got to lose your way,
   G/B       C
To find what you've been running for,
      G                       F
I was looking for my way back home,
           G                 Am
But that's where I found the Lord.
 
 
[Interlude]
Am  C  G  Am
   Oh . . ..
 
 
[Verse 5]
           Am
He pour me coffee in an old tin cup,
              C
And watch the rain roll by,
           G
Said, "You spend your whole life chasing roads,
          Am
But these roads won't help your life."
 
 
[Verse 6]
        Am
Then he pointed toward a Bible,
         C
Asked me if I'd read a few,
                      G
He said, "And I would give you a new heart,
          Am
And a new spirit I'll put in you."
 
 
[Verse 7]
         Am
When the morning broke through the window,
   C
He pointed down a road,
                   G
Said, "Follow that till you see the highway,
          Am
And it'll take you back home."
 
 
[Verse 8]
  Am
I turned around to thinking,
              C
But there was nobody there,
        G
Just an empty chair still rocking
Am
Sunlight on the stairs.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Am                     C
I got lost on a road I never seen,
        G                                    Am
Found a light where there wasn't supposed to be,
        Am                         C
Found a door when I had nowhere to go,
        G                      Am
Found a peace that I had never known.
 
 
[Chorus]
            Am                         Am
He said sometimes you got to lose your way,
   G/B       C
To find what you've been running for,
      G                       F
I was looking for my way back home,
           G                 Am            C
But that's where I found the Lord, ooh ooh ooh,
  G  Am
I did.

[Verse 9]
       Am
I went back there a year later,
        C
Just to see that old man's face,
G
Found that same old farmhouse,
      Am
Still standing in its place.
 
 
[Verse 10]
        Am
But the windows were all broken,
        C
And the paint was weathered gray,
          G
I asked a farmer who lived nearby,
    Am
Who lives there nowadays.
 
 
[Verse 11]
         Am
He said, "Son, that place don't belong,
   C
To anybody here,
     G
That house been sitting empty,
    Am
For many, many years.
 
 
[Verse 12]
      Am
And I felt the tears start falling
     C
As I finally saw the truth,
              G
Thought I was lost and all alone,
            Am
But God was looking for me, too.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            Am                     C
Oooh, I got lost on a road I never seen, yeah,
        G                                    Am
Found a light where there wasn't supposed to be,
        Am                         C
Found a door when I had nowhere to go,
        G                      Am
Found a peace that I had never known.
 
 
[Outro]
                  Am                         Am
Oooh, he said sometimes you got to lose your way,
   G/B       C
To find what you've been running for,
      G                       F
I was looking for my way back home,
           G                 Am  Asus2 Am Am
But that's where I found the Lord,
  C                        G
Yeah, that's where I found the Lord,
  F          G                 Am  C  G            Am
Mmmm, that's where I found the Lord,  oooh . . ..
