Introdução:

           C9             G/B                       G 
Nowhere to live, nowhere to fall
       C9                 G/B                                       G 
he used to have money, but he?s wasted it all.
       C9             G/B                                   Em 
His face is a photograph burned in my mind,
             Am                         G                               D/F#                 G 
but I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
       C9               G/B                                         G 
He sleeps under stars, that?s all he can afford
         C9                   G/B                                         G 
His blanket's an old coat he?s had since the war
       C9                 G/B                               Em 
He stands on the corner of Carter and Vine
               Am                             G/B                       D/F#                 G 
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
     C9             G/B                                         G 
He may be a drifter, he?s grown old and gray
       C9               G/B                           G 
But what if he?s Jesus and I walk away?
     C9             G/B                               Em 
I say I?m the body and drink of the wine
             Am                               G/B                     D/F#                 G 
but I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
   C9             G/B                                         G 
She?s twenty-nine but she feels forty-eight
   C9                               G/B                       G 
She can?t raise three kids on minimum wage
             C9           G/B                           Em 
She?s cryin? in back of the welfare line
             Am                               G/B                     D/F#                 G 
but I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
   C9             G/B                                                         G 
She may be a stranger tryin? to get through the day
       C9                 G/B                         G 
but what if it?s Jesus and i walk away?
   C9               G/B                               Em 
I say I?m the body and drink of the wine
             Am                               G                         D/F#                 G 
but I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
 C9           G/B                                   G 
This is a call for a change in my heart
     C9             G/B                                   G 
I realize that I?ve not been doin? my part
               C9         G/B                             Em 
when I needed a Savior, I found it in Him
 Am                 G/B                   D/F#                 G 
He gave to me, now I?ll give back to them
   C9             G/B                             G 
Drifter or stranger, Daughter or son
   C9               G/B                       G 
I?ll look for Jesus in every one
   C9                   G/B                               Em 
?cause I am the body and drink of the wine
                 Am                             G/B                       D/F#                   G 
and I?m thankful there?s more than the twenty-first time
