Lyrics

My dad chased mon sters from the dark, he checked un der neath my bed.

And he could (E)lift me with one arm, I way up o ver top his head.

I walked He could loos en rust y bolts They with a quick turn of his wrench.

And He pulled splin ters from his hand, They said he’d nev er e ven flinched.

But In y thir said teen years I’d nev (F#m)mom er seen him cry.

But the (Bm7)day that Grand pa died, (A)ed, I re al (E5)ized: to say:

un sink a ble (A)ships sink, un break a ble (E)walls break.

Some times the things you think would nev er hap pen, (D)hap pen just like that.

Un bend a ble (A)steel bends

if the (E)fur y of the wind (C#7)is un (D)stop pa ble.

I’ve (Bm7)learned to nev er un der es ti mate

the im (A5)pos si ble.

And then there was my jun ior year, Bill y had a brand new car.

And It was (E)late, the road was wet.

I guess the curve was just too sharp.

I walked a way loos with out a scratch.

They brought the hel i cop ter in.

And Bill y could n’t feel his legs.

They said he’d nev er walk a gain.

But Bill y thir said he would and his (F#m)mom and dad dy prayed.

And the (Bm7)day we grad u at (A)ed, I he stood (E5)up to say:

un sink a ble (A)ships sink, un break a ble (E)walls break.

Some times the things you think would nev er hap pen, (D)hap pen just like that.

Un bend a ble (A)steel bends

if the (E)fur y of the wind (C#7)is un (D)stop pa ble.

I’ve (Bm7)learned to nev er un der es ti mate

the im (A5)pos si ble.

the im (A)pos si ble.

So, don’t tell me that it’s o ver, don’t give up on you and me, ’cause there’s (Bm7)no such thing as (A)hope less if (D)you be lieve.

Un sink a ble (A)ships sink, un break a ble (E)walls break.

Some times the things you think would nev er hap pen, (D)hap pen just like that.

(CN.C.)Un bend a ble (A)steel bends

if the (E)fur y of the wind (C#7)is un (D)stop pa ble.

I’ve (Bm7)learned to nev er un der es ti mate
