[Intro]
G Bm C G x2
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Could I believe in a man I don't see?
G Bm C G
I wish I could hear if he's talkin' to me
G Bm
'Cause if I could meet him
C G
The big man upstairs
G Bm C G
Well, I'd ask him if grandpa still rocks in his chair
[Verse 1]
G Bm C G
I've met hellraisin' angels, devils and saints
G Bm C G
Addicts on sidewalks who give more than take
G Bm C G
Poison filled pastors who lie through their teeth
G Bm C G
But scold me for askin' why I should believe
G Bm C G
They say in the good book, he looks just like me
G Bm C G
Is he tattoed and tired, and can't find his peace?
G Bm C G
Does he drown out his sorrows with whiskey cocaine?
G Bm C G
A 4 a.m. panic, and prayin' for change
[Chorus]

I wish I could hear if he's talkin' to me

[Verse 2]
G Bm C G
I was young and outrageous, rage filled and desperate
G Bm C G
For someone to show me that I ain't alone
G Bm C G
The more that you give him, the better he gets
G Bm C G
Grandpa would say as he walked me back home
G Bm C G
But grandpa ain't here, and the world's feelin' dark
G Bm C G
I'm lookin' for sunlight to patch up my heart
G Bm C G
I sat myself down in an old wooden pew
G Bm C G
I cried out in silence, in hope to hear you
[Chorus]

Could I believe in a man I don't see?

I wish I could hear if he's talkin' to me

'Cause if I could meet him
