1 Verse:
            Bbm        Bb               C
This living room ain’t much to see, and it goes to show
     F                Am                     Dm                 Bb
The way you keep your house, reflects the insides of your soul
                 C
Quarter past noon He’s on the way
                                   Dm          Bb
All that I can think about is that I’m not okay
 
Pre Chorus:
                   C
But He walks right in
     F               C         Dm7                Bb
With kindness in His eyes and grace in every step
              C
What will He say
         F            C
When He takes a look around
              Dm7
And sees that I couldn’t clean
           Bb
This mess I’ve made
 
Chorus:
Dm                 Bb
All the things you do for me
     F
Are good and sweet
     C
But slow down please
Dm                      Bb
All those things will always be
     F                    C
But sit right here, come and see
        Dm
There’s not a better place to go
Bb                           F                C
To rest your heart and weary soul than at my feet
Dm                 Bb
All the things you do for me
     F                  C               Bb
Are good and sweet but slow down please

Sometimes I sit and I wonder how
F               C             Dm7               Bb
Cleaning up my act is all that I can think about
                    C
I need a savior and I need him now
    F                Am       Dm7                  Bb
I’m tired of playing God and trying to save myself

With kindness in His eyes and grace in every step
              C
What will He say
         F            C

This mess I’ve made

Bridge:
                   C
Oh my child listen now
                     F
I don’t care at all about
         C                 Dm                            Bb
If the floors are swept or if the glass has fingerprints
                                C
A thousand things you could do know
                         F
None of them will care about
C                    Dm                     Bb
All I want is to be here with you right now

But sit right here, come and see
        Dm
There’s not a better place to go
Bb                           F                C
