       Capo on the second fret.
  GMy dad chased monsters from the dark
  And Cchecked underneath my bed
  GHe could lift me with one arm 
  WCay over top his head
  HGe could loosen rusty bolt's
  WitCh a quick turn of his wrench
  HGe pulled splinter's from his hand
  And Cnever even flinch
  IEmn thirteen years I Cnever seen him cry
  AmBut the day that grandpa died CI realizedD  
  Chorus:
  DUnsinkable ships Gsink, Unbreakable waDlls break
  Sometimes the Emthings you think would never happen
  HappeCn just like that
  DUnbendable steel Gbends
  If the Dflurry of the wind is unstoppabCle

Joe Nichols: The Impossible

Capo on the second fret.

My dad chased monsters from the dark

And checked underneath my bed

He could lift me with one arm

Way over top his head

He could loosen rusty bolt's

With a quick turn of his wrench

He pulled splinter's from his hand

And never even flinch

Em C

In thirteen years I never seen him cry

Am C D

But the day that grandpa died I realized

Chorus:

D G D

Unsinkable ships sink, Unbreakable walls break

Sometimes the things you think would never happen

Happen just like that

D G

Unbendable steel bends

D C

If the flurry of the wind is unstoppable

Am C

I've learned to never underestimate

D G

The Impossible

Verse2:

Then there was my junior year

Billy had a brad new car

It was late the road was wet

I guess the curve was just to sharp

I walked away without a scratch

They brought the helicopter in

Billy couldn't feel his legs

They said he would never walk again

But Billy said he would

And his mom and dad prayed

Am C

And the day we graduated He stood up to say

Repeat chorus:

Bridge:

So dont tell me that it's over

Don't give up on you and me

Am C

Cause there's no such thing as hopless

If you believe

Repeat chorus.
