[D#m] [C#] [B] [F#]
[D#m] [C#] [F#]
[D#m] I ain't even [C#] seen the light of [F#] day, [D#m]
but I can hear [C#] every word they [F#] say.
[D#m]
Someone told them they're too [A#m] young to deal [B] with [F#] this.
[D#m] And they're nothing but [A#m] a couple of [B] lovesick kids.
[G#m] But I've heard them talk when [C#] there's no one else [F#] around.
[G#m] Picking out my name and working this [C#] thing out.
Every [F#] day I'm getting [B] bigger.
Every [F#] morning she's getting [B] sicker.
[C#] They both [D#m] know that God [C#] don't make no [G#] mistakes.
And [B] her family's [C#] only five more [D#m] months away.
[C#]
[B] [D#m] [C#]
[B] She [D#m] cried the [F#] first time she felt me move.
[B] [D#m] From the silence, [C#] I think he [B] did too.
[D#m] It must be [C#] a big old [B] place out there.
[D#m] Just like them, [C#] sometimes [F#] I get [G#m] scared.
There's still so much [C#] that I don't [F#] understand.
But [G#m] I know she's my mom and he's [C#] my dad.
[F#] Every day I'm [B] getting bigger.
[F#] Every morning she's [B] getting sicker.
But they [D#m] both know that God [C#] don't make no [G#] mistakes.
[B] And her family's [C#] only one more [F#] month away.
[D#m] I just [F#] heard her say it's [B] almost time.
He said, I'll hold your hand and stand right there [C#] by your side.
