Intro
[F#] [B]
Verse
[F#] [B]
He would watch my baseball games each Monday
[F#] [B]
I'd go over to his house to play that dumb old PGA game
[D#m]
And I didn’t understand
[C#] [B]
That he was just a man who'd never change
[F#] [B]
And I thought I was too young to present it
[F#] [B]
Yeah, my parents gave him everything he needed for repentance
[D#m]
But he said, "That's not for me"
[C#] [B]
Momma cried and dad would plea while I just played
Chorus
[D#m] [C#] [B] [F#]
Ooh-ooh, all the things I should’ve said
[D#m] [C#] [B] [F#]
Ooh-ooh, maybe he would've had a chance
[D#m] [C#] [B] [F#] [D#m] [A#m] [B]
To turn around take the leap if I had another opportunity
[F#] [B] [F#] [B]
Would he listen to me
Verse 3
[F#] [B]
He was full of love and lots of laughter
[F#] [B]
A good husband who was quite affectionate to my grandmother
[D#m]
So loyal but so lost
[C#] [B]
Oh, you never would've thought he ran from God
Chorus 2
[D#m] [C#] [B] [F#]
Ooh-ooh, all the things I should’ve said
[D#m] [C#] [B] [F#]
Ooh-ooh, maybe he would've had a chance
[D#m] [C#] [B] [F#] [D#m] [A#m] [B]
To turn around take the leap if I had another opportunity
[A#m] [B]
Would he listen to me
[D#m] [B]
Oh, would he list to me
[A#m]
Oh, would he list to me
[B] [D#m] [B]
Listen to me
Bridge
[C#] [D#m]
I'd tell him Jesus, only Jesus
[B] [A#m]
Can forgive every sin you have done
[C#] [D#m]
It's not too late, please believe me
[B]
Grandad, you're never too far gone
Verse 4
[F#] [B]
And as I sat there looking at the ashes
[F#] [B]
The questions started burning in my heart as I reflected
[D#m]
What if I had spoken up?
[C#] [B]
Would he have given love a second glance?
[F#] [B]
No, I can’t blame myself for his rejection
[F#] [B]
’Cause probably if I shared what I believed he'd lose attention
[D#m]
But that’s what hurts me most
[C#] [B]
I guess I'll never know 'cause I missed my chance
