[Intro: Forrest Frank]
One, two, three

[Verse 1: Forrest Frank]
          F
Sometimes words
Gm         F
Hit you in the chest
Gm             Dm7
Sting you like a bee
Bb               F
  And rob you of your rest
                 F
And Heaven knows sometimes
       Gm          F
People try to mean well
    Gm          Dm7
But trauma from their past
Bb                     F
  Got 'em stuck inside of Hell

[Chorus: Forrest Frank]
           Dm7        
Well, it's okay if you 
 Bb           F     Gm
feel misunderstood
          Dm7         Bb     
There's a Man who did as well 
           F             Gm
when they nailed Him to wood
         Dm7             Bb
And even through all the pain
F            Gm
Still, He forgave them, mm
So I can forgive somebody 
    F    Gm  F
too (Mm)

[Verse 2: Cory Asbury
 & Forrest Frank]
          F
Sometimes words 
(Sometimes words)
    Gm     F
Can cut so deep 
(Cut so deep)
Gm              Dm7
It's hard to be kind
Bb                        F
  When anger's all you've seen
    Gm        F
The shadow of home can
        Gm               F
Stretch long through the years
   Gm            Dm7
It covers up the sunshine
Bb                  F
  Even when the sky is clear

[Chorus: Cory Asbury 
& Forrest Frank]
             Dm7       
'Cause it's okay if you 
 Bb           F     Gm
feel misunderstood
          Dm7         Bb    
There's a Man who did as well 
            F             Gm
when they nailed Him to wood
         Dm7             Bb
And even through all the pain
F            Gm
Still, He forgave them
N.C.                         F
So I can forgive somebody too
                  Gm   
I can forgive somebody
   F
too (Come on)

[Verse 3: Cory Asbury 
& Forrest Frank]
                F          
Well, sometimes two friends
          Gm       F
 are just one call away
Gm         Dm7    Bb     
Years full of hurt  could
            F
 be gone in a day
          F           Gm  F
We're all part of one family
Gm       Dm7 Bb        
So who am I     to cut 
     F
down the tree?

[Chorus: Cory Asbury & 
Forrest Frank, & Forrest Frank]
             Dm7        Bb 
'Cause it's okay if you feel
          F     Gm
 misunderstood
          Dm7         Bb     
There's a Man who did as well
           F             Gm
 when they nailed Him to wood
         Dm7             Bb
And even through all the pain
F            Gm
Still, He forgave them
N.C.                         F
So I can forgive somebody too
                  Gm  
I can forgive somebody 
    F
too (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
                  Gm      F
I can forgive somebody too

[Outro: Cory Asbury 
& Forrest Frank]
                     Gm   
'Cause the good Lord first
                F
 forgave me and you (Ooh)
