Scotty McCreery,     The Dash


(intro)
2x
Db  Bbm   Ab,



(verse)
      Db          Bbm           Ab 
Whole town showed up, gymnasium filled
Db        Bbm                     Ab
Floor was wet, from all the tears spilled
        Db           Bbm                         Ab
And the preacher man said, we're all gathered today 
         Db       Bbm                     Ab
And I'll never forget, what he had to say


(chorus)
            Db      Bbm7          Bbm      Ab
It's always too soon, it's always too fast
                      Db   Bbm7
There'll never come a day
                        Bbm   Ab
That you don't want 'em back
                   Db     Bbm7
It ain't about the numbers
            Bbm      Ab 
Chiseled in concrete
                          Db    Bbm7
It's how they lived their lives
               Bbm  Ab                   Db  Bbm  Ab
In the dash between,  in the dash between


(verse)
         Db            Bbm             Ab
He was a steelworker's son, homecoming king
           Db        Bbm                        Ab
He trained day and night, for that championship ring
         Db      Bbm                 Ab
He found him a girl, made her his queen
       Db             Bbm                          Ab
And he fought for his country, and he gave it everything


(chorus)
            Db      Bbm7          Bbm      Ab
It's always too soon, it's always too fast
                      Db   Bbm7
There'll never come a day
                        Bbm   Ab
That you don't want 'em back
                   Db     Bbm7
It ain't about the numbers
            Bbm      Ab 
Chiseled in concrete
                          Db    Bbm7
It's how they lived their lives
               Bbm  Ab               Bbm7
In the dash between,  in the dash between


(bridge)
Bbm7
Their first breath and their last
      Cm
Marks all the memories of the past
     Db                             Gb
That little black line defines a legacy

(instrumental)
Db  Bbm   Ab,


(chorus out)
(chorus)
            Db      Bbm7          Bbm      Ab
It's always too soon, it's always too fast
                   Db    Bbm7                Bbm  Ab
They're always too young,     it's always so sad
                   Db     Bbm7
It ain't about the numbers
            Bbm      Ab 
Chiseled in concrete
                          Db    Bbm7
It's how they lived their lives
               Bbm  Ab               Db  Bbm Ab              Db  Bbm Ab(stop)
In the dash between,  in the dash between,     in the dash between,
