[Am] [C] [G]
I met [Am] Jesus in a bar I [D] guess you just can't [G] fall too far
I was pouring whiskey [Am] in an empty heart [C] When I met Jesus in [G] a bar
Man or angel, Son of God He did not tell me who he was
[Am] But I knew [D]
In that least expected place
I saw heaven in his [G] face And couldn't move
We sat there for hours I could feel the grace and power
[C] And I said [G] things I've never [Am] told a soul [D] I asked for forgiveness
He said, I've already done this, [G] don't you know?
I met Jesus in [Am] a bar I [D] guess you just can't [G] fall too far
I was pouring whiskey [Am] in an empty heart [D] When I met Jesus [C] in a bar
[Am] [C]
[G]
I started crying in my hands And when I looked up again, [Am] he was gone
[D] Then I walked the whole way home For the first time knowing I [G] was not [D] alone
[G]
Some meet him on the highway Some meet him on a Sunday
[C] On the back row [Am] of a church I [D] can only tell you my way
[G] I met Jesus [Am] in a bar I [D] guess you just can't [G] fall too far
I was pouring whiskey [Am] in an empty heart [D] When I met Jesus [G] in a bar
I was pouring whiskey [Am] in an empty [C] heart When I met Jesus in a [D] bar
[G]
