Chords for Dominic Balli - Behind the Songs - 12. Daisy's Song

[Bb] _ _ _ Two [F] years ago, _ [Gm] I got a phone call with [Eb] _ _
[Bb] some horrible news.
My daughter's [F] best friend, Daisy, _ [G] _ had [Eb] been taken to the hospital
because she was complaining of [Bb] stomach pain.
And they found [F] a tumor in her stomach [G] the size of a Nerf [Eb] football. _ _
She was stage 3 cancer [Bb] and she might not live.
She was 5 [Gm] years old, my daughter's best friend.
_ [Eb] And _ we [Bb] were shocked.
We were [B] wrecked.
How could this [D] happen?
This little girl's [Gm] healthy.
Her [Ab] dad is one of my best friends in the [Bb] world.
_ And _ she went through [Ab] 7 months of chemo and radiation.
And they declared her in remission and [Eb] everything's all good.
_ [Gm] And _ [D] she [C] went on [Fm] vacation to celebrate.
And [Ab] while she was there, she started complaining [Bb] again of stomach [F] pain.
And _ [C] came back and found another tumor [Bb] the size of a grapefruit that had developed.
[Eb] And they gave her only a 30% chance of living.
She went through another 7 [F] months of chemo, just the strongest little girl.
And [Gm] radiation.
And _ [Eb] declared her once again in remission.
[Bb] And we don't know what the [F] future holds for Daisy.
[Cm] _ To be honest, we don't know what the future holds for any of [Bb] us.
But I know this, [F] that _ [B] deeper [A] than the [Eb] scars inside of us or [Bb] on the outside,
_ _ [Gm] stronger than the blood that flows in our bodies,
[Eb] no matter how weak or strong [F] it is, whether it's got cancerous cells or not,
_ _ [G] further than the hope that [Eb] comes from answers,
[F]
there's something bigger _ that overrides all that.
And it's love.
And no matter what happens in this life,
no matter how hard times get or how fiery the trials are,
there's a love that's stronger than all things.
And this is Daisy's song right here.
[Bb] It sounds like this. _
_ When [Dm] that storm comes _
[Gm] _ _ like a [Eb] hurricane _ _
[Bb] _ And [Dm] the sun seems [Gm] far away
[Eb] _ We _ _
[Bb] _ _ will [Dm] not fear the winds
[Gm] _ We will [Eb] not fear the _
[Bb] waves
I [Dm] can feel your calm [Gm] _ within
_ [Eb] _ And _ [Bb] _ _ when [Dm] this life is [Cm] shaken _ _ [Bb] by raging _ [Gm] seas
_ We are [Dm] not going to be [Eb] afraid, _ [Bb] no _
_ [Cm] _ So [Bb] if you walk on waves and [Eb] winds
Hold my hand and I'll [Bb] walk again
_ [Dm] This _ love [Gm] is stronger
[Eb] Than the blood that beats [Bb] my heart
[Dm] This _ love [C] is [Bb] deeper
[Eb] Than the pain of all [Bb] these scars
[Dm] This _ love [Gm] goes farther
[Eb] Than the hope in [Bb] answers' arms
[Dm] This love [Gm] is stronger
[Eb] It's strong enough [Bb] for me
_ [Dm] Oh, _ _ [Gm] yeah
_ [Eb] You _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ lived [Dm] our sorrow
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] Befriended all our _ [Bb] pain
[Dm] Oh, that we might rise [Gm] again
_ _ [Eb] You _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] stole my sickness
[A] _ [Gm] _ _ Rested [Eb] in my [Bb] disease
_ _ Oh, [Dm] that I might [A] rest in [Gm] thee
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ And you [Dm] alone bring healing
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] For you I'll [A] wait
[Gm] _ But [Dm] we are not going to be [Eb] afraid, _ [Bb] no _ _
[Cm] So _ if [Bb] you walk on waves [Eb] and winds
Hold my hand and I'll [Bb] walk again
_ [Dm] This love [Gm] is stronger
[Eb] Than the blood that beats [Bb] my heart
[Dm] This love [Gm] is deeper
[Eb] Than the pain of all these [Bb] scars
[Dm] This _ love [Gm] goes farther
[Eb] Than the hope in [Bb] answers' arms
[Dm] This _ love [Gm] is stronger
[Eb] _ It's strong enough for me
We may [F] be crushed
But we [Bb] are [F] not [Gm] ever forsaken
_ [Eb] _ We may [F] be struck down
But we [Bb] are not [E] [Gm] ever _ _ [Eb] destroyed
Then when [F] that fire [E] comes [Bb] to shine
[A] Through [E] me, [Gm] your glory
_ [Eb] _ _ [F] We are not going to be [E] [Bb] afraid
_ [Dm] This _ love is [Gm] stronger
_ [Eb] Than the blood that beats [Bb] my heart
_ [Dm] This love [Gm] is deeper
_ [Eb] Than the pain of all [Bb] these scars
[Dm] This _ love [Gm] goes farther
_ [Eb] Than the hope in [Bb] answers' arms
_ [Dm] This love [Gm] is stronger
_ [Eb] It's strong enough for [Bb] _ me [D] Oh, _ _ [Gm] yeah
_ Oh, [Ebm] it's strong enough [Bb] for me [B] Yeah, _ _ [Gm] oh
_ [Am] Oh, [Eb] it's strong enough for me _ _ _ _
