(To Match Recording)
Intro: (G) (Em) (D) (C)
That (G) anchorman
Says they're (Em7) fightin' again
Somewhere in the (D) Middle East
The world (C) prays for peace
There's a (G) single mom
Just (Em7) got laid off
Went and lost her job
To some (D) foreign hands - in some (C) far away land
Last (C) night in Oklahoma
Some (C) twister took 13
And they're (C) praying that they find the missing (D) 3
God must be (G) busy
That highway sign
Went from slow ahead
To traffic's dead
Thought it couldn't get worse
Then that Amber alert
They say she's four
Colorado plates
Headed out of state
In a Chevy van
It's hard to understand
You can see it in the faces
Of all those highway strangers
They're praying that God keeps that girl from danger
God must be busy
I (F) know in the big picture
I'm (D) just a speck of (G) sand (G/B)
And (C) God's got better things to do
Than (D) look out for one (G) man
I (F) know he's heard my (C) prayers
'Cause (Cm7) he hears every(Em7)thing
He (Am) just ain't answered back
Or he'd (C) bring you back to (D) me
God must be (G) busy
That evening news
Ain't much changed
Pretty much the same
Since I left home
Yeah, that war's still on
They found that little girl
She was soaking wet
Half scared to death
On the side of some road
Them prayers work ya know
And the bloods & crips are at it
And there's a killer drought down south
And old folks can't afford the drugs they can't live without
God must be busy
Chorus
That (G) anchorman
Says the fighting's worse
(Em) Cities burn in the (D) Middle East
(No Chord) The world prays for peace (G)
