Other Plans
By: Ben Fuller
[INTRO]
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
[VERSE 1]
Bm A D/F# G
I pulled it off the wall and held it in my hands
Bm A D/F# G
The cold steel and wood turned a boy into a man
Bm A D/F# G
I held the hammer back fingers all red from the rust
Bm A D/F# G
And I knew exactly where daddy hid the shells from us
[VERSE 2]
Bm A D/F# G
I left a note by the stove saying I wouldn’t be too long
Bm A D/F# G
Didn’t want mama to call or come looking where I had gone
Bm A D/F# G
Been blinded by the pain and I only had one thought
Bm A D/F# G
Set off for the woods pockets jangled while I walked
[CHORUS]
G Bm D G
My hands were shaking oh so bad I could hardly hold that gun
Bm D G
I shoved a round into the magazine it was my last chance to run
Bm D G
If this is a cry for help then I’m crying out loud help me understand
Bm
When I let it go and it hit the ground turns out God had other plans
[TURN]
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
[VERSE 3]
Bm A D/F# G
I felt the hand of God as he led me off that ledge
Bm A D/F# G
I left the rifle lying’ there in the leaves with my regrets
Bm A D/F# G
Silhouette still in the paint where it hung up on the wall
Bm A D/F# G
Reminded me that I was saved when I could have lost it all
[CHORUS]
[TURN]
[CHORUS]
[OUTRO]
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
Turns out God had other plans
