D A
I remember when you told me that our lives were ‘bout to change
G A
I was down in San Antone, you were back home in Killeen
D A
We couldn’t help but come up with a bunch of different names
G A D
We forgot about the worries and the things the doctor said...
D A
I even had a dream that I saw her little face
G A
I held her in my arms she had the sweetest little smile
D A
But deep down inside we knew that our hopes would soon expire
G A
I didn’t know it would hurt so much
D
When you told me she was gone...
(chorus)
G A D
We cried and we held each other tight
G A D
We tried to make sense and not deny
G A D A G F# Em
Sometimes things happen for a reason they say
Em A
Sometimes the Lord giveth
G A D
Sometimes he taketh away
D A
So we sat up in the bed and I wiped your tears away
G A
We came to terms with our misfortune, we even smiled a while
D A
And I promised you that someday soon we’d start to try again
G A
Oh how I pray to God
D
That he’d give us one more child
(chorus)
G A D
We cried and we held each other tight
G A D
We promised that it would be alright
G A D A G F# Em
Maybe the next time everything will be ok
Em A
Sometimes the Lord giveth
G A D
Sometimes he taketh away
Em A
Sometimes the Lord giveth
G A D
Sometimes he taketh away.
