CAPO I

INTRO - Bbmaj7  Am  D  Bbmaj7  C

G
Shes in the kitchen at the crack of dawn

Bacons on, coffees strong
     D                    A/C#
Kids running wild, taking off their clothes
           Bm                     A
If shes a nervous wreck, well it never shows
G
Takes one to football and one to dance
Em             Asus     A
Hits the Y for aerobics class
      D                  A/C#
Drops by the bank, stops at the store
    Bm                     A
Has on a smile when I walk through the door
G                 D/F#                         Em
The last to go to bed, shell be the first one up
    A               D
And I thought I was tough

CHORUS
      Bb             C         D
Shes strong, pushes on, cant slow her down
        Bb      C          A
She can take anything life dishes out
      G
There was a time
D/F#        Em
Back before she was mine
     A               D
When I thought I was tough

G
We sat there five years ago

The doctors let us know, the test showed
     D                    A/C#
Shed have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
           Bm                     A
She held me and said its gonna be alright
G
She wore that wig to church
Em             Asus     A
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
      D                  A/C#
No room for fear, full of faith
    Bm                     A
Hands held high singing Amazing Grace
G                 D/F#                         Em
Never once complained, refusing to give up
    A               D
And I thought I was tough

CHORUS

BRIDGE
        C                G/B
Shes a gentle word, the sweetest kiss
  Asus         A               Bass Run G  F#  D
A velvet touch against my skin
     C                  G/B
Ive seen her cry, Ive seen her break
    Em                 Asus   A  Bb      C  
D
But in my eyes, shell always be strong

Bb  C  A

      G
There was a time
D/F#        Em
Back before she was mine
     A               Bbmaj7  Am  D
When I thought I was tough
