[Verse 1]
D                                    Em7
  Just walked down the street to the coffee shop.
         G
Had to take a break.
         D                Asus4
I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight.
D                                           Em7
 Saw a flower growin' in the middle of the sidewalk.
                        G
Pushin' up through the concrete.
             D                Asus4
Like it was planted right there for me to see.
G              D/F#                Em7
 The flashin' lights, the honkin' horns,
              D/F#
All seemed to fade away.
         G            D/F#        Em7
In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
       G
I saw God today.

[Chorus]
D               Bm7                   G
  I've been to church, I've read the book.
            Em7                D
I know He's here, but I don't look.
        Bm7          G
Near as often as I should.
         Em7
Yeah, I know I should.
 
D             Bm7           G
  His fingerprints are everywhere.
              Em7               D
I just slowed down to stop and stare.
           Bm7              G     Em7
Opened my eyes, and man, I swear.
       D         Bm7  Gadd9
I saw God today.
 
[Verse 2]
D                                       Em7
  I saw a couple walking by, they were holding hands
          G
Man, she had that glow
           D                Asus4
Yeah, I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show
D                                   Em7
 I stood there for a minute takin' in the sky
              G
lost in that sunset
             D          Asus4                G
a splash of amber melted in the shades of red
 
[Chorus]
D               Bm7                   G
  I've been to church, I've read the book.
            Em7                D
I know He's here, but I don't look.
        Bm7          G
Near as often as I should.
         Em7
Yeah, I know I should.
 
D             Bm7           G
  His fingerprints are everywhere.
              Em7               D
I just slowed down to stop and stare.
           Bm7              G     A
Opened my eyes, and man, I swear.
       D         Bm7  G  Em7  D   Bm7  Gadd9
I saw God today.
 
D                                      Em7
   got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
                G
She's sleeping like a rock
         D                   Asus4
My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks
D                                  Em7
  She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes
             G
My brand new baby girl
        Asus4   A
She's a miracle
       Gadd9     Em7   D
I saw God today
