    Intro:
    ||: Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 :||

    Verse 1:
    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |
    If God had a name, what would it be? And would
    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |
    you call it to his face If you were faced with him
    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |
    In all his glory -- what would you ask? If you had
    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |
    just one question?

    Pre-Refrain:
    | Cadd9 |D |
    Yeah... yeah... God is great
    | Cadd9 |D |
    Yeah... yeah... God is good
    | Cadd9 |D |
    Yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah...

    Refrain:
    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |
    What if God was one of us?
    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |
    Just a slob like one of us?
    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |
    Just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home

    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |

    Verse 2:
    If God had a face, what would it look like
    And would you want to see? If seeing meant that you would
    have to believe, In things like heaven and in
    Jesus and the saints and all the prophets

    Pre-Refrain

    Refrain

    Outro
    | Em7 Cadd9 |G Dsus4 |
    Trying to make his way home...
    Like up to heaven all alone...
    Nobody calling on the phone...
    Except for the Pope, maybe in Rome.
