Bridge 2
Eadd9
Well, he took those words words and
he made them proud
F#add9
He worked day after day and hour after hour
G#m7
So that they could buy a little house
Eadd9
Their little girl grew up and so did they
F#add9
They said that they loved each other everyday
Eadd9
And as they're walking down the street,
her grip loosens on his hand
F#add9
He puts his arm around her side
as she falls to the ground
and that's the only sound
Eadd9
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
F#add9
Tears roll off his face as he says,
by her bed in the hospital ward
I don't know if she can hear you now
B
Badd4
would want you to know"
B
Badd4
Outro 1
Eadd9
"When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart's lost all its hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
Now it's time for you to let go
Eadd9
Our girl will wake you up in the mornin'
F#add9
B
With some tea and toast
