Intro

Em Cadd9 G D x8

Verse

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question  

Pre-Chorus

And yeah yeah, God is great
Yeah yeah, God is good
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Chorus

What if God was one of us?  
Just a slob like one of us?  
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home   

Verse

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-Chorus

And yeah yeah, God is great
Yeah yeah, God is good
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Chorus

What if God was one of us  
Just a slob like one of us  
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home  
Tryin' to make his way home  
Back up to heaven all alone 
Nobody calling on the phone 
Except for the Pope maybe in Rome   

Pre-Chorus

And yeah yeah, God is great
Yeah yeah, God is good
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Chorus

What if God was one of us  
Just a slob like one of us  
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home 
Just tryin' to make his way home 
Like a holy rolling stone 
Back up to heaven all alone 
Just tryin' to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the Pope maybe in Rome
