Intro: 

Verse 1:
G                       D/F#     Em7                        D  
  A mother riding on a city bus,   kids are yelling kicking up a fuss
Cadd9                    C/B                          D
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through
G                         D/F#       Em7                            D
  Somebody said don't you even care,   and do you let them do that everywhere
Cadd9           C/B                         D
She slowly turned around, looked up and stared.

Pre-echo 1:
        Em7                      Cadd9
She said, "Please forgive them.   They've been up all night.
Em7                                 Cadd9
  Their father struggled,   but he finally lost his fight.
Em7                          Cadd9
  He went to heaven   in the middle of the night
   Cadd9  C/B    Am  G    D
So please for – give my children.   They don't understand."

Chorus:
G                           D/F#             Em7                        D
Everybody's busy with their own situation,   everybody's lost in their own little world
Cadd9                    C/B                          D
Bottled up, hurried up, trying to make a dream come true,   They don't understand
G                             D/F#
Everybody's livin' like there ain't no tomorrow, 
Em7                             D
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
Cadd9                      C/B                         D
Cus you never really know what your neighbor's going through,  They don't understand.

Verse 2:

G                       D/F#        Em7                            D  
  A man drivin' on the interstate,    slowin' down traffic makin' everybody late,
Cadd9                    C/B                       D
Everybody's starin' not knowin' what he's goin' through,
G                        D/F#          Em7                            D
  Somebody honked from a passin' lane,   yelled out the window ain't got all day,
Cadd9           C/B                         D
The old man looked around … and caught his eye,

Pre-echo 2:

         Em7                               Cadd9
He said, "Please forgive me,  you know it's been a real long life,
Em7                            Cadd9
My wife has passed away and my kids' don't have the time
Em7                                  Cadd9
I've been left all alone,   and it's getting' hard to drive,
   Cadd9  C/B    Am  G    D

A man hangin' on a wooden cross,   given everything to save the lost,
Cadd9                    C/B                       D
Everybody's starin' not knowin' what he's goin' through.
G                        D/F#          Em7                         D
Somebody said you don't have a prayer,   if you're a king come on down from there,
  Cadd9                 C/B                      D
The man just turned his head and looked up and stared.

Pre-echo 3:
         Em7                             Cadd9
He said "Please forgive them,   for they have not seen the light,
Em7                          Cadd9
  They'll come to know me when I come back to life
Em7                  Cadd9
Go to heaven to make everything alright,
