Walker Hayes - Craig

      
[Verse 1]
C                               F
I met Craig at a church called Redeeming Grace
         G                             C
Like he understood my "I don't want to be here" face
                           F
I felt out of place and I smelled like beer
             G                       C
But he just shook my hand, said "I'm glad you're here"
C
He said "we'll all be judged"
            F
But he was never judgemental
    G                             C
And even though my songs don't belong in no hymnal
                          F
He'd quote me my lyrics, slap me on the back
       G                         C
Said "Man you've got a gift! How you write like that?"


[Chorus]
Am                G
I know, he sounds cool right?
          F
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
                                  G
I still ain't figured out church yet
          C
But Craig, I get
                      F               G           C
Nah he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red
                      F           G          C
But he just might be tight with a man that did
                                F
Yeah he's not the light of the world
                G                   C
But I wish that mine was bright as his
              F                     G        C
Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is

[Verse 2]
     C                           F
You lose a record deal, all the perks fade fast
      G                                            C
Dealership said, "We're going to need to get that mini-van back"
C
So we were down on one car
     F
And broke as I felt
    G                           C
My wife and six kids with only five seat belts
                            F
I needed help but couldn't admit, I was strong
        G
Said, "Craig, it's all good"
       C
But he knew it all wasn't
                                 F
A "Hey man I'm praying for you" would've been sufficient but nah
G                  C
He took roadside assistance to a
                                   Em
Whole other level, to sacrificial heights
Em
Showed up at the ballpark after my son's game one night
Em
In two cars, with his wife Barb watching from the other
F
Said "What in the world are y'all doing here, brother?"
        C
He just laughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van
          Em                       G
With the keys, and a title, and a pen in his hand
      C
Said "Man, all you got to do is sign and it's yours"
        Am
I said "No, no way"
       F                         G
But he wouldn't take "No" for an answer
G
Said "Please do
         C
Somebody did this for me once, just let me do this for you"
G
We argued about it for a little while

Then I teared up, and Craig smiled


[Chorus]
 Am               G
I know, he sounds cool right?
         F
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
                      F               G           C
Nah he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red
                      F           G          C
But he just might be tight with a man that did
                                F
Yeah he's not the light of the world
                G                   C
But I wish that mine was bright as his
              F                     G        C
Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is

[Verse 3]
C                                                       F
My pride was way too ashamed to be adequately grateful at the moment
       G                             C
But I signed the dotted line, and I drove the kids home
                                             F
And when the cop pulled up beside us at the light, they didn't have to duck
G                       C
Because thanks to Craig
                             F G C F G
They were all buckled up
