"Through"
Copywrite:2008
1st Verse:
G
She was just 16 in '89
The consequences never crossed her mind
C G
When she said "yes" that November day
17 years and 3 kids later
A troubled life had left a crater
C
where her heart can't find the way
Em7 C
She tried comfort from another's touch
Em7 D
'til she realized it would never mean as much.
1st Chorus:
G
As a smile upon her daughter's face
C
That has the power to put the whole world in place.
Em7
The simple sound of "I love You"
C D
G
And gettin' up at 5am
C
Get 'em off to school before your day begins
Em7 C
And prayin' that they know just what they do.
D G
That's the kind of love that get you though.
2nd Verse:
G
All too soon that day was here.
She's in a wedding gown and there goes a tear
C G
Her youngest girl asked her to give her away.
G
A million things runnin' through her mind
That she wants to say but there's just no time.
C G
'cause she can hear the band playin'
Em7 C
She kissed her cheek and fixed her vail
Em7 D
She looked her in the eyes and she could tell
2nd Chorus:
G
It's the way he smells after a summer rain
C
And the way his smile eases any pain
Em7
It's the shock he shows everytime you she'd cuss
C D
And how she'd read his thoughts just from his touch
G
It's how he tipped his hat when he met Grandma
C
And how he cried with her when they got the call
Em7 C
Then drove all night to get there not a moment too soon
C D G
That's the kind of love that gets you through
*Bridge*
Em7 C
Now the doctors say it's spreadin' way too fast.
Em7 C
She's taken every breathe like it could be her last.
Em7 C
Friends and family are standin by her bed
D C
..thinkin' 'bout the last words that she said.
3rd Chorus:
G
It's the smile upon my daughter's face
C
That has the power to put my world in place
Em7
Simple sounds of "I Love You"
C D
G
And in a few more minutes when I see my fate
C
Standin' outside those pearly gates
Em7 C
I'll walk in and have a moment of truth.
C D G
I'll know that's the kind of love that got me through
*OUTRO*
G G
She was just 16 in '69 ..the consequences never crossed her mind.
C G
when she said yes that November day.
