No Capo [Verse I] G My papa was a big 'ol man D He held the world and me in the palm of his hand Em He held us altogether C The family corner stone
G His voice was deep just like his fate D He'd always call me, "sugar babe" Em And what I wouldn't give to hear C "I love you" one more time G He loved to read John 3:16 D Tapped along to hymns we'd sing Em C He left us so much more than earthly things [Chorus] G Sometimes when there's no answer D Or no reason for the pain Em And I just can't wrap my head around C the wire of things that come my way G I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven D So even when my faith on earth is shaken Em C You're my safe haven [Verse II] G He said my home's not here, no I'm not bound D My home is built on higher ground Em And where I'm going, oh goodbye don't mean a thing C There's gonna be some things I miss
G D But don't forget God promises we'll be Em C together on the other side [Chorus] G Sometimes when there's no answer D Or no reason for the pain Em And I just can't wrap my head around C the wire of things that come my way G I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven D So even when my faith on earth is shaken Em C You're my safe haven G Ooh, ooh, oh D It's comfort for my heart that breaks Em To know you're in a better place C And that I'll see your loving face again G I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven D So even when my faith on earth is shaken Em You're my safe haven C You're my safe haven My papa was a big 'ol man He held the world and me in the palm of his hand
