Verse 1A
My Papa was a big 'ol man
E
He held the world and me in the palm of his hand
F#m
He held us altogether
D
The family corner stone
A
His voice was deep just like his faith
E
He'd always call me, "sugar babe"
F#m
And what I wouldn't give to hear "I love you" one more time
D
He loved to read John 3:16
E
Tapped along to hymns we'd sing
F#mD
He left us so much more than earthly things
ChorusA
Sometimes when there's no answer
E
Or no reason for the pain
F#m
And I just can't wrap my head around
D
The wire of things that come my way
E
I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
A
So even when my faith on earth is shaken
F#mD
You're my safe haven
Verse 2A
He said my home's not here, no I'm not bound
E
My home is built on higher ground
F#m
And where I'm going, oh goodbye don't mean a thing
D
There's gonna be some things I miss
AE
But don't forget God Promises we'll be
F#mD
Together on the other side
ChorusA
Sometimes when there's no answer
E
Or no reason for the pain
F#m
And I just can't wrap my head around
D
The wire of things that come my way
A
I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
E
So even when my faith on earth is shaken
F#mD
You're my safe haven
BridgeA
Ooh, ooh, oh
E
It's comfort for my heart that breaks
F#m
To know you're in a better place
D
And that I'll see your loving face again
A
I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
E
So even when my faith on earth is shaken
F#m
You're my safe haven
D
You're my safe haven
OutroA
My papa was a big 'ol man
E
He held the world and me in the palm of his hand
