Mark Bishop-I got here as fast as i could chords
Start Jamming...
A long time ago, two twin brothers always fought but loved each [C#] other.
They grew up close, playing in the yard.
Sickness came and hit them both [F#] hard.
One brother lived, one brother died.
Eight years old and for weeks he cried.
[C#] The time has away, drying the tears.
Weeks turned to months and the months into years.
[F#] He graduated, he got married.
They were expecting, she miscarried.
[C#] They both lived to rightful days.
And by her side, the morning she [F#] passed away.
Two years later, one December evening, he laid on the couch and he stopped [C#] breathing.
[F#]
[G]
He woke up on the other side.
There stood his brother, arms open wide.
[D] I've been waiting to see you again.
What took you so long?
Where have you been?
[G] I got here as fast as I could.
I never dreamed I'd feel so good.
[D] I feel happy, I feel numb.
I feel like crying but the tears won't [G] come.
I missed you, couldn't you see me?
There were some lessons he had to teach me.
[D] Finally I understood.
Everyone needs when they should.
[Am] I'm a slow learner, [D] got here as fast [G] as I could.
[D] Suddenly out of the line, there stood the woman he'd loved all his life.
Say hello to your dad.
She was holding the baby that they [G] never had.
I got here as fast as I could.
I never dreamed I'd feel so good.
[D] I feel happy, I feel numb.
I feel like crying but the tears won't come.
[G] I missed you, couldn't you see me?
There were some lessons he had to teach me.
[D] Finally I understood.
Everyone needs when they should.
[Am] I'm a slow learner, [D] got here as fast [G] as I could.
