C
I'm a simple man
G
With dust on these cracked and calloused hands
F
I ain't rich enough to buy myself a chance
C
Like everybody else
G
I got a twisted, broken story I could tell
F
Paved the road to hell with stones I laid myself
Am
And I built it all too well
Chorus:
F
Well I know what I've done
F
And if judgment should come
C
I couldn't face it
G
On my own
F
But the Savior stepped in
Am
Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it
G C
Guess you could say I've got a friend in high places
Verse 2:
C
Yeah I'm livin proof
G
What a carpenter from Nazareth can do
F
How a hammer and a nail can make things new
C
And I don't know why He cared
G
Enough to turn His head and hear my prayer
F
Leave Heaven when He could have just stayed there
Am
It really don't seem fair
G
No it don't seem fair
Repeat Chorus

If you need a friend
G
Who ain't scared of what you've done or where you've been

Just open up the door and let Him in
C
If you need a friend
