[Verse 1]
C
Lights are shining bright, as always downtown on the row
      Am
I have friends they come from outta town asking me to go
                   F
They say, "There's so much going on,
                                        C
Why don't you come along and show us around?"
   C
I tell them Karen's not feeling well so I probably shouldn't go out
  Am
Besides I've gotta fix it list of things I need to do around the house
       F                                                       C
Then I hang up the phone, turn the radio back on, and sit back down

[Pre-Chorus]
  G                                   F
I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone

[Chorus]
       C
In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Am
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
      F                           G
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
             F          G               C
I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]
     C
I've been beat up, I been pushed and shoved but never ever really knocked down
        Am
Between Mom and Dad, Uncle Sam and friends I somehow always pulled out
        F                                                           C
But the pain of this was more than I'd ever felt before, yeah I was broke
   C
I cried and cried and cried until I passed out on the floor
       Am
Then I prayed and prayed and prayed till I thought I couldn't pray anymore
    F                                                C
Then minute by minute, day by day, my God, He gave me hope

[Pre-Chorus]
  G                                   F
I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone

[Chorus]
       C
In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Am
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
   F                              G
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
                 F          G               C
See I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

[Bridge]
  Am
I hope, I love, I pray, I cry
  G
I heal a little more each day inside
  F                Am             F
I won't completely heal till I go home

[Chorus]
       C
In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
       Am
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
   F                                   G
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
             F          G                 C
I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

[Outro]
    F                            G
One day I'll wake up and I'll be home
          F          G  N.C.
with the Father, my son and the Holy Ghost
