[Eb] [F]
[Bb]
There was a [F] child named [Eb] Bernadette.
I heard [F] the story long [Bb] ago.
She saw the Queen of [Eb] Heaven once
and kept [F] a vision in [Bb] her [F] soul.
[Bb] No one [Ab] believed what [Eb] she had [Cm] seen.
[Bb] No one [C] believed what she [F] heard.
[Bb] That there [F] were sorrows to [Eb] be healed.
And mercy, [F] mercy in [Bb] this world.
[Cm] So [Dm] many [Eb] hearts I find
broke [Bb] like yours and [D] mine.
[Gm] Torn by [Fm] what we've done and [Cm] can't undo.
[Bb] I just want to [F] hold you.
[Eb] Come on, let [Gm] me hold [C] you
like Bernadette [Bb] would [F] do.
[Eb] [C] [Bb]
We've been [F] around, we fall, [Eb] we fly.
We mostly [F] fall, we [Bb] mostly run.
And every now and [Eb] then we try
to mend [F] the damage that [Gm] we've done.
[Bb] Tonight, [C] tonight [Bb] I [Eb] just can't rest.
[Cm] [Eb]
[Bb] I've got this [C] joy here [F] and inside my breast
[Bb] to think [F] that I did [Bb] not forget
[Eb] that
[C] child, [F] that song of [Bb] Bernadette.
[Cm] So many [Eb] hearts I [Bb] find
like yours [D] and [Bb] mine.
[Gm] Torn by what [Fm] we've done and can't [Cm] undo.
[F]
[Bb] I just want [F] to hold you.
[Eb] Won't you let [Gm] me hold [Cm] you
[C] like Bernadette
[Bb] would do.
I just want to hold [Dm] you.
[Eb] Come on, let me hold [Cm] you
[C]
[Eb] like Bernadette [Bb] would do.
