    D - Bm - G (2x)

 

    D                                                           G

1.     Just walked down the street to the coffee shop.

                D                                                         A

    had to take a break, I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight.

D                                                                   G

    Saw a flower growin' in the middle of the sidewalk,

                                          D

    pushin' up through the concrete.

                                             A                    G

    like it was planted right there for me to see.

                        D                          Em                            D

    The flashin' lights, the honkin' horns, all seemed to fade away.

                 Em                  D            Em                G

    in the shadow of that hospital at 5:08, I saw God today.

 

D                       Bm                            G

    I've been to church, I've read the book.

                    Em                      D

I know He's here, but I don't look

             Bm               G                    Em

near as often as I should, yeah, I know I should.

D                 Bm                       G

   His fingerprints are everywhere.

                      Em                        D

I just slowed down to stop and stare.

                   Bm                           G     - A             D

opened my eyes, and man, I swear :       I saw God today.

2.    I saw a couple walking by, they were holding hands,

                     D

    man, she had that glow,

                  D                        A                                         D

    yeah, I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show it.

D                                                  G

    Stood there for a minute takin' in the sky

                      D

    lost in that sunset

                       D                     A                        G

    a splash of amber melted in the shades of red.

   D                                                             G

3.    Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass

                            D

    she's sleeping like a rock

                     D                               A

    my name on her wrist, wearing tiny pink socks.

D                                                        G

    She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes

                             D                          A

    my brand new baby girl, she's a miracle,

                 G             - Bm - G  - Em - A - D

    I saw God today.
