[Intro 1]
[C][Em]
[C][Em]
[C]I see her as a little

[Verse 1]
girl
Hiding in her room
She take an[Em]other bath
And she spray her mama's perfume
[C]To try to wipe away
The scent he left [Em]behind
But it haunts her mind

[Verse 2]
You see, [C]she's his little rag
Nothing more than just a waif
And he's [Em]mopping up his need
She is tired and afraid
[C]Maybe she'll find a way
Through these awful [Em]years
To disap[D]pear
[C]Ask

[Verse 3]
[G]me if I think there's a
God up in the Heaven
[C]Where did He go in the middle
[Dsus4]of her sh[D]ame?
[G]Ask me if I think there's a
God up in the Heavens
[C]I see no mercy,
and [D]no one down [Dsus4]here's namin[D]g na[C]mes
[D]Nobody's naming[C] names
[Em]

[Verse 4]
Now, she's [C]looking in the mirror
At a lovely woman face
No more [Em]frightened little girl
Like she's gone without a trace
[C]Still she leaves the light
Burning in the [Em]hall
It's hard to sleep at all

[Verse 5]
'Til she [C]crawls up in her bed
Acting quiet as a mouse
[Em]Deep inside, she's listening
For a creaking in the house
But [C]no one's left to harm her
She's finally safe and [Em]sound
There's a peace she's [D]found[C]

[Verse 6]
[G]Ask her how she knows there's
a God up in the Heaven
[C]Where did He go in the middle
[Dsus4]of her sh[D]ame?
[G]Ask her how she knows there's
a God up in the Heavens
[C]She said His mercy is
[D]bringing her [Dsus4]life again
[D]Ask

[Verse 7]
[G]me how I know the[D]re's
a [G]God up in the Heaven
[C]Where did He go in [D]the middle
of her shame?
[G]Ask me how I know there's
a God up in the [C]Heavens
She said His mercy is [D]bringing
her life [C]again

[Verse 8]
She's [Dsus4]coming to li[D]fe again
[C]

[Verse 9]
He's in [Em]the middle of her pain,
in the middle of [C]her shame
Mercy brings life
He's in [Asus4]the middle
Mercy in the [Am]middle

[Verse 10]
So [G]ask me how I [C]know[Dsus4]
[D]Ask[G] me how I know, yeah
[C]

[Verse 11]
[D]
[G]Ask me how I know there's a God up in the
Heaven [C](how do you [Dsus4]know?)[D][G]
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the
[C]Heaven (how do [D]you know?)
Yeah, [G]ask me how I know
[C](how do you know?)

[Verse 12]
Ask [Dsus4]me, ask me,
[G]ask me [C](how do you[Dsus4]
know?)
Ask me how I know
