Verse 1:
  (C)                   (F)         (C)
I once met a young girl filled with fire, 
     (C)                          (G)       (C)
That saw through my front to this shell of a man
   (C)                    (F)      (C)
She knew I'd be a handful from the start, 
     (C)                        (G)    (C)
This strong willed woman had an angels heart

(Electric Guitar kicks in now)
    C (x32010@1)                        F (133211@1)         CThe (x32010@1)holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
         C (x32010@1)                G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)So you'd better brace for a life of pain, 
       C (x32010@1)                      F (133211@1)    CAnd (x32010@1)if fate is the path to this better life
    C (x32010@1)                             G (320003@1)   CSomehow (x32010@1)I feel you'll never see the faces change

Chorus:
F*                                   G*
Through thick and thin, She stood by you
                              Fill 
She held the key to my broken heart

Verse 2:
  C*                    F*      C*
I look back and wonder, sit and ponder, 
C*                      G*      C*
How I could have ever neglected you?
        C*                       F*       C*
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field, 
  C*                         G*       C*
I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose
           C (x32010@1)                     F (133211@1)         CBut (x32010@1)if the tables were turned, and I faced the troubles, 
C (x32010@1)                         G (320003@1)     CTough (x32010@1)times and struggles I put you through
       C (x32010@1)                            F (133211@1)          CI'd (x32010@1)of been there as you were through hardship and horror

 (C)                       (F)    (C)

That she was destined to be my bride
    (C)                      (F)      (C)
This woman had pride, she was full of life, 
        (C)             (G)   (C)

   C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)   CAn (x32010@1)evil monster in disguise. 
         C (x32010@1)                F (133211@1)  CNow (x32010@1)I'll honor and obey, forever stay.
