_ You know folks, this is a real special treat for y'all.
Jack Ingram recently tried out [G] some new music on our live audience [A] in San Marcos, Texas,
including [D] this beautiful love song called, You're My Amen.
It's a real good one.
Let's check it out.
_ I've been writing a whole bunch [G] recently.
I've [A] really been enjoying it.
[D] I would love to put out [Em] three records next year, just because I [A] love the songs, I [Em] love
the direction, but one of the songs I'm doing tonight that I chose is [A] called You're My Amen.
[Gbm] It's just a [Em] flat out, [D]
full on love [A] song about [Bm] a real relationship. _
[G] One of the things that Amy and I [A] have thought about, [D] I think every couple fights about it,
[E] but [D] certainly someone who's one of the [A]
people in the relationship [Bm] travels a bunch, especially
in my business.
[G] A [A] lot of times I'll forget to call [D] at night, _ _ whether before I go [A] to the show or certainly
after the show.
_ _ [D]
[G] And then the next [D] morning you get up and you go and you're [G] traveling 100 miles per hour
somewhere and you forget to call [D] then too, so then it becomes the next afternoon and
all of a sudden [Gbm]
there's a disconnect.
[G] _ [D] _ It's so hard to explain to someone _ that [G] I swear to God, you really were, [D] I didn't call
you, but you were the last thing I thought of [A] when I went to bed and you were the first
thing I thought of when I [D] woke up.
And that's not a lie, _ _ [G] that's the truth.
And [D] so _ [A] the last thing you say at the end of [D] a prayer [Gbm] is amen.
_ [D] And it's called You're My Amen.

All the [Ab] pain inside [Eb] of me, _ _ _ it's crashing [Ab] down and makes [Eb]
me bleed.
_ _ _ You take the weight [Ab] off [Eb] my chest, _ _ _ _ you hold me [Ab] close against [Eb] your breast. _
_ [Ab] In a world [Eb] of hurt, _ [Ab] you're [Eb] always there.
[Ab] You're the [Eb] final word [Bb] to my desperate prayer.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] You're my [Eb] amen, _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] amen.

_ _ _ feel your [Ab] breath and I can [Eb]
breathe.
_ _ _ _ Look in your [Ab] eyes and I [Eb] can see.
_ _ _ I _ touch you and [Ab] I take you [Eb] in. _ _ _
_ I kiss you and [Ab] I'm [Eb] born again.
_ _ _ [Ab] In a world [Eb] of hurt, _ [Ab] you're [Eb] always there.
