Impossible


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. A = x02220 Aadd9 = x02200 D = xx0232 A/Ab = 4x2220 F#m = 244222 E = 022100 F#m(add9) = 244224 Bm = x24432 A/C# = x42220 F#m7 = 242252 F+ = xx3221 *********************************************************************** VERSE 1 -------- A Aadd9 D A My dad chased monsters from the dark and checked underneath my bed, A/Ab F#m D E A And he could lift me with one arm way up over top his head. Aadd9 D A He could loosen rusty bolts with a quick turn of his wrench, A/Ab F#m D E D He pulled splinters from his hand and never even flinched. F#m F#m(add9) In 13 years I'd never seen him cry, Bm A/C# D E But the day that grandpa died, I realized. CHORUS ------- A Unsinkable ships sink, E Unbreakable walls break, F#m F#m7 Sometimes the things you think would never happen D E Happen just like that. A Unbendable steel bends, E F+ D If the fury of the wind is unstoppable. Bm A/C# D I've learned to never underestimate E A The impossible. VERSE 2 -------- A Aadd9 D A Then there was my junior year, Billy had a brand new car. A/Ab F#m D E A It was late the road was wet, I guess the curve was just too sharp. Aadd9 D A I walked away without a scratch, they brought the helicopter in, A/Ab F#m D E D Billy couldn't feel his legs, they said he'd never walk again. F#m F#m(add9) But Billy said he would and his mom and daddy prayed, Bm A/C# D E And the day we graduated, he stood up to say: REPEAT CHORUS A Aadd9 F#m D E INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE ------- D So don't tell me that its over, F#m F#m(add9) Don't give up on you and me. Bm A/C# 'Cause there's no such thing as hopeless, D E If you believe... REPEAT CHORUS
