Year To The Day

Chorus:
G
It's been one year to the day 
that I watched you almost die
                         D/F#
And yeah, I made this song sound happy, 
and I know you'll ask me why
                    Em
Well, the truth is, Junebug, you healed up alright
                        D/A
But I'm still healing

Instrumental:
G  D  Em  D  C

Verse:
                  G
They didn't even sound the sirens, 

no one thought it was that bad
                  D/F#
But I knew ER would be chaos, 

your brother's heart had taught me that
                   Em
So I was calm and quite collected from the back
                                                      D
Of what seemed standard procedure

Verse 2:
                         G
At first, the beepin' then the yellin', 
your concussion had you mad
                                D/F#
And I heard the tone change from 
the doctor who'd been playin' quarterback
                       Em
She said, "Dad, gotta tell ya, it's bad
                                       D
And her chances are falling"

Refrain:
                                                 Em   D
And all I know is I started to faint
                                C
And somebody caught me
                                             Em  D
Oh, looking back to that day
                         C
Somebody caught me

Verse 3:
                       G
And your mum was off in Vandy, 
she had bruises of her own
                    D
I didn't know yet how to tell her, 
we didn't have much time to go
                  Em
And a police car went to get her
                                                           D
She hit the ground in millions of pieces

Verse 4:
                            G
And I made promises with God, 
and I begged and cried and yelled
                       D
And left a lifetime's worth of tears 
inside that cold fluorescent hell
                               Em
And from my knees, I swear I found the kind of faith
                                    D
That surpassed all reason

Verse 5:
                   G
And so I threw a text to Voltron 
and all who'd intercede with might
                   D
And the boys were in Seattle 
playin' Summer Worship Nights
                     Em
I swear I felt that arena lift my arms
                               D/F#
When I couldn't lift them

Refrain:
                                                     Em   D
And all I know is somebody prayed
                               C
And Somebody listened
                                  Em   D
Oh, somebody prayed
                                C
And Somebody listened
                                                     Em
Oh, lookin' back a year to the day
            D/F#                                         C
I'm daily thankin' God that you're with us
                                                                 Em  D/F#
And I'll put that down as "somebody prayed
                                C
And Somebody listened"

Instrumental:
G    D     Em   D        C
G    D     Em   D/F#   C

Chorus:
                           G
Well, it's been one year to the day 

that I watched you almost die
                          D
And yeah, I made this song sound happy, 

and I know you'll ask me why
                    Em
Well, the truth is, you healed up alright
                          D
But I'm still healing
