Joe Nichols - The Impossible



I've put a lot of chords into this, but you can probably get away
without playing a lot of them... (sounds nicer if you do though!)
The intro and ending (also after 1st chorus), just alternates between
A and A(add9), so experiment to get it to get the timing right.


           =   x02220                          =   x02200

           =   xx0232                             =   4x2220

         =   244222                                =   022100

(add9)   =   244224                               =   x24432

        =   x42220                             =   242252

+          =   xx3221

VERSE 1
--------

                                                      
My dad chased monsters from the dark and checked underneath my bed,
                                             
And he could lift me with one arm way up over top his head.
                                             
He could loosen rusty bolts with a quick turn of his wrench,
                                        
He pulled splinters from his hand and never even flinched.
                            (add9)
In 13 years I'd never seen him cry, 
                                     
But the day that grandpa died, I realized.


CHORUS
-------

           
Unsinkable ships sink,
            
Unbreakable walls break,
                                  
Sometimes the things you think would never happen
                
Happen just like that.
           
Unbendable steel bends,
                       +   
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable.
                         
I've learned to never underestimate
       
 The impossible.


VERSE 2
--------

                                            
Then there was my junior year, Billy had a brand new car.
                                                     
It was late the road was wet, I guess the curve was just too sharp.
                                                     
I walked away without a scratch, they brought the helicopter in,
                                                
Billy couldn't feel his legs, they said he'd never walk again.
                                           (add9)
But Billy said he would and his mom and daddy prayed,
                                       
And the day we graduated, he stood up to say:



REPEAT CHORUS


         
INSTRUMENTAL


BRIDGE
-------
         
So don't tell me that its over,
                      (add9)
Don't give up on you and me.
                              
'Cause there's no such thing as hopeless,
               
If you believe...


REPEAT CHORUS
