Verse:
G                 Am
We met at redhead Mary's house 
     D           G
on a Bible study night
  G         Am
I heard she was a rebel once
  D               G
until she saw the light
G                         Am
Then in the backseat of a crowed car
      D                G
after weeks of holding hands
G                Am
She was slipping me the tongue 
 D                  G
among her Christian friends


Chorus:
Em7                  Cadd9
We could chuckle and talk for hours
         G                        G - D\F#
And then one night over the phone
Em7                      Cadd9
she went and told me her best friend's secret 
      G                        G - D\F#
after she had lowered her tone
       Em7                  Cadd9
It was all about forgiving, all about forgiving,
G                           G - D\F#
all about forgiving and so
    Am                     D
She thought that God would - want me to know


|:G   |Am  |D   |G  :| (2x)


Verse:
her older sisters had both moved out
and her parents were divorced
her mother lived in a trailer park
not big, but she had a porch
and on top of the piano 
laid a cat with evil paws
her father he was a proud Nam vet
I think she hardly saw

Chorus:
We would chuckle and talk for hours
And then one night over the phone
she went and told me her best friend's secret
after she had lowered her tone
It was all about forgiving, all about forgiving,
all about forgiving and so
She thought that God would want me to know


|:G     |Am     |D     |G      :|  (2x)

|:Em7   |Cadd9  |G     |G D\F# :| (2x)


Chorus:
We would chuckle and talk for hours
And then one night over the phone
she went and told me her best friend's secret
after she had lowered her tone
It was all about forgiving, all about forgiving,
all about forgiving and so

Em7                  Cadd9
All about forgiving, all about forgiving,
G                          G – D\F#
all about forgiving and so
Em7                  Cadd9
All about forgiving, all about forgiving,
G                          G – D\F#
all about forgiving and so
Am                         D
She thought that God would - want me to know

Verse:
The old piano she could play so nice
she had later sadly sold
The money was invested in 
the church her husband owned 
She had a kid when I looked her up 
and another on the way
And when we waved our last goodbye 
she said that she would pray
