Lyrics

I (Am)un der stand there’s (F)noth ing I can (Gsus)do. I can’t be (Csus2)what she needs as (Am9)long as she needs (F#)you. If (C)you’re the one she’ll (F)turn to from now (E)on, there are (Am)things that you should (F)know a (Dm9)bout her when I’m (Fm6)gone. She’s not as (Csus)brave as she might (C)seem. And when she’s (F)had a scar y dream, if (Em7)you don’t hold her, (Am7)she won’t sleep all (F#)night. She’s not as (Am7)strong as she should (Dm7)be. She cries at (B)mov ies (E7)on T (Am)V and (F)counts on you to (C)see that things go (Dm11)right. But (G7)she’s a (C)chance to (C)make your dreams come (Fmaj7)true, to (G)have some (C)one who thinks there’s (Am7)noth ing you can’t (Dm7)do. A (E7)chance to live each (E)day and (Am)care the way you (G)al ways knew you (F)could. Take (C)care of her for (Am7)me. She (G7sus)used to (G9)be (C)mine. She’s not her (Csus)best on rain y (C)days, she’ll test your (F)love a hun dred ways. She (Em7)plays with your e (Am7)mo tions like a (F#)song. She chas es (Am7)dreams that can’t come (Dm7)true and al ways (B)tries too (E7)hard for (Am)you and (F)nev er knows just (C)how to say she’s (Dm11)wrong. But (G7)she’s a (C)chance to (C)make your life com (Fmaj7)plete. A (G)chance to (C)take these lone ly (Am7)days and make them (Dm7)sweet. A (E)chance to feel so (E)good that (Am)ev ’ry one will (G)wish they (Am)could be (F)you. Take (Cmaj7)care of her for (Am7)me. She (G7sus)used to be (C)mine. She’ll nev er (Fm6)leave you (C)an y time a (Am)lone. She (Bb)needs more time and (C)ten der ness than (F)an y one you’ve known. But (Ab7)she’s a (Db)chance you’ll (Db)nev er have a (Gbmaj7)gain. A (Ab)chance to (Db)laugh a lot and (Bbm7)pit y oth er (Ebm7)men. A (F)chance I can’t for (F)get. A (Bbm)chance that I some (Ab)how let slip a (Gb)way. Take (Dbmaj7)care of her for (Bbm7)me.
