Intro -- (Eb)  (Ebsus)   (Bb/Eb) (Bb/C) (Cm)    (Abadd9)     (Fm7) (Eb/G) (Abadd2) (Bb7sus)   

(Eb) He sat up on the (Bb/Eb) bed (Ab) and he watched me (Eb) packing 
(Ab/C) He already knew I was leavin’ (Eb) (Bb/Eb) (Ab/Eb) (Eb) 
I took what I (Bb/Eb) needed but I sure left (Ab) a lot (Eb) still hanging 
(Ab/C) But I figured I’d get it come the weekend (Bb/D)  
He said (Ab/C) Daddy when you get there 
(Bb/D) Are you gonna have a (Eb) refridgerator 
(Ab/C) I kinda laughed and (Bb) said I guess I (Eb) will 
Then he (Ab/C) handed me a tracing of his (Bb/D) hand 
On the back of a (Cm) piece of (Bb/C) paper 
And a (Ab) magnet and my heart stood (Fm7/Bb) still - when he (Bb) said 

Put your (Ab/C) hand (Bb/D) in (Eb) mine 
(Ab/C) And I’ll (Bb) be there (Eb) anytime 
(Ab/C) When it feels like (Bb/D) you could use a (Cm) friend 
I’ll be there to (Bb/C) lift you up again 
(Ab) You can reach out to me (Eb/G) any (Fm7) time (Eb/G) (Ab) 
And put your (Ab/Bb) hand in (Eb) mine 

(Bb/Eb) (Bb/C) (Cm)   (Abadd9)  (Fm7) (Eb/G) (Abadd9) (Fm7) 

(Eb) I drove past the (Bb/Eb) Hardin Baptist (Ab) Church 
Though it wasn’t (Eb) really (Ab) on the way to my ho(Eb)tel (Bb/Eb) (Ab/Eb) (Eb) 
Beside me on the (Bb/Eb) seat I was looking at (Ab) five small (Eb) fingers 
(Ab) When I heard the chapel (Bb) bell - and it took me 
(Ab/C) Back another (Bb/D) life ago when our (Eb) hearts were open 
(Ab/C) Oh, back when (Bb) we could still a(Eb)gree 
(Ab/C) Back when the (Bb/D) future that we (Cm) had was full of (Bb/C) hope and 
(Ab) You and I we got down on our (Fm7) knees - and said 

Put your (Ab/C) hand (Bb/D) in (Eb) mine 
(Ab/C) And I’ll (Bb) be there (Eb) anytime 
(Ab/C) When it feels like (Bb/D) you could use a (Cm) friend 
I’ll be there to (Bb/C) lift you up again 
(Ab) You can reach out to me (Eb/G) any (Fm7) time (Eb/G) (Ab) 
And put your (Ab/Bb) hand in (Eb) mine

(Bbm7) I couldn’t even (Fm/Bb) stay away one (Eb) night 
(Bbm7) I noticed (Ab/Bb) you left on the (Ab) light (Eb/G) (Fm7)
And I’ve only got one thing (Cm) to say (Bb/C) 
If you’re (Ab) not too tired and it’s (Bb7sus) not too late 

Put your (Ab/C) hand (Bb/D) in (Eb) mine 
(Ab/C) And I’ll (Bb) be there (Eb) anytime 
(Ab/C) When it feels like (Bb/D) you could use a (Cm) friend 
I’ll be there to (Bb/C) lift you up again 
(Ab) You can reach out to me (Eb/G) any (Fm7) time (Eb/G) (Ab) 
And put your (Ab/Bb) hand in (Eb) mine 

(Ab) Would you reach out to me (Eb/G) one more (Fm7) time (Eb/G) (Ab) 
And put your (Ab/Bb) hand in (Eb) mine 

(Bb/Eb) (Bb/C) (Cm) (Abadd9) (Ab/Bb) (Eb)
