God Only Cries

[G]     [D/F#]    [Em]      [C]     [G]
O[G]n an i[D/F#]cy road one night
Y[Ebdim]oung ma[Em]n loses his life
T[C]hey marked the[D] shoulder with a[G] cross[D]
A[G]n' his family[D/F#] gathers round
O[Ebdim]n a piece of[Em] Hallowed ground
T[C]heir hearts are heavy with their[D] loss
[Em]As the[D] tears fall from their[C] eyes [D]
Th[Em]ere's one who'll a[D]lways symp[C]athi[D]se.

  G[G]od only[D/F#] cries for the[Em] living [D]
 'Cause it's the [C]living that are [D]left to carry[G] on [D]
  A[G]n' all the[D/F#] angels up in[Em] Heaven [G/B]
  They're not[C] grieving because they're[D] gone
  There's a[Em] smile on their[D] faces
  'Cause they're[G] in a better place than...
  T[C]hey've ever kn[D]own [C]     [D]
   [G]God onl[D/F#]y cries for the[Em] living[D]
  'Cause it's the[C] living that are[D] so far from [G]home.

It still makes me sad
When I think of my Grand-dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come
When my own gradnson
Wonders why I went away
Maybe we're not meant to understand
Till we meet up in the Promised Land.

 Chorus
