"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.
