He drives aEmround the block a thousand times
He cBan't go home 'til He clears his mind
And His Csupper's Dcold by Emnow
The Emdoctor's words crash through His ears
About a tBreatment plan and a lot of years
He will Clive to Dsee someEmhow

Capo 1 & key of Fm

Em Em Em Em

She wakes up some days life is cruel

She's on a chain gang sittin' in a typing pool

C D Em

And Her brain feels all dragged down

The gossip flies, the coffee's stale

She wants to run outside and scream like hell

C D Em

'Til it turns Her luck around

G A

Doesn't matter how insane it gets

G C D

She's got one dream and Her sights set, She says -

I'm just waitin' for it

I'm just makin' sure that

C D Em

My heart's steady as a drum

Brighter days are dawnin'

My faith's holding strong, 'n' -

C D Em

I'll be ready when it comes

He drives around the block a thousand times

He can't go home 'til He clears his mind

C D Em

And His supper's cold by now

The doctor's words crash through His ears

About a treatment plan and a lot of years

C D Em

He will live to see somehow

G A

He gathers all His friends and family

G C D

He says, wrap Your lovin' arms around Me

I know I can do this

Love will get Me through this,

C D Em

My heart's steady as a drum

Brighter days are dawnin'

My faith's holding strong, 'n' -

C D Em

'n' I'll be ready when it comes

(when it comes)

One light shinin' that is brighter than the sun

(when it comes)

Way down deep inside the heart of Everyone

(when it comes)

I reach past My troubles for the strength to carry on

(when it comes)

And find that what I need was right there all along

Em A C D Em

I'll be ready when it comes

Yes, I will-

Gonna be ready now

When it comes, when it comes

My faith is holding strong...

Brighter days are dawnin'

My faith is holding strong, 'n'
