I Got Here As Fast As I Could Chords by Mark Bishop

_ _ _ _ A long time ago, two twin brothers, always fought but loved each other.
They [C#] grew up close, playing in the yard.
Sickness came, it hit them both hard.
[F#] One brother lived, one brother died.
Eight years old and for weeks he cried.
But [C#] time has a way of 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 a ripe old age.
And by her side, a warning she passed [F#] away.
_ _ Two years later, one December evening,
he laid on the couch and he stopped breathing.
[C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [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.
Why took you so long?
Where have you [G] been? _
_ 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] How I wish you could see me.
There were some lessons he had to teach [D] me.
Finally I understood that everyone means when they show it.
[Am] As I was older, [D] I got here as fast [G] as I could.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] Suddenly out of the light,
next to the woman he 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 [D] good.
I feel happy, I feel numb.
I feel like crying but the tears won't [G] come.
How I wish you could see me.
There were some lessons he had to [D] teach me.
Finally I understood that everyone means when they show it.
[G] As I [Am] was older, I got here as [G] fast as I _ _ could.
