[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
DHe came home from work
GHe could see that she'd been crying
DIt's been three years worth
GOf praying, testing, and trying
D GAnd all the doctors said there's no way, no chance
GNot even maybe
Bm A GBut tonight they're dancing in the kitchen, talking 'bout names for the baby
[Chorus]
D'Cause when the real stuff gets real tough
GGo on and send 'em up down on your knees
DWhen there's no light anywhere in sight
GJust close your eyes and you can see
Bm AThat you got a friend and he's listening
GWith miracles left to spare
Bm A GWhen ya got big problems all it takes is a little faith
D GAnd big prayers
[Verse 2]
DHe just turned thirty-five
GWith a wife and two little kids
DAnd they were building a life
GThen it was please, God, no, not this
DThey said his days were numbered, maybe spring or summer
GBut at best it wouldn't be long
Bm AThen after three months of praying, left the doctors saying
GDon't know where it went but it's gone
[Chorus]
D'Cause when the real stuff gets real tough
GGo on and send 'em up down on your knees
DWhen there's no light anywhere in sight
GJust close your eyes and you can see
Bm AThat you got a friend and he's listening
GWith miracles left to spare
Bm A GWhen ya got big problems all it takes is a little faith
D A GAnd big prayers, big prayers
DAnd big prayers
[Guitar Solo]
D A G
[Bridge]
D GSo whatever is, whatever you want, whatever you need
D AYou just gotta ask for the storm to pass
GAnd you gotta believe, man, you gotta believe
[Chorus]
D'Cause when the real stuff gets real tough
GGo on and send 'em up down on your knees
DWhen there's no light anywhere in sight
GJust close your eyes and you can see
Bm AThat you got a friend and he's listening
GWith miracles left to spare
Bm A GWhen ya got big problems all it takes is a little faith
D A GAnd big prayers, big prayers
[Outro]
DYes, send 'em on up
A GTo the Big Man upstairs
DYeah, those big prayers
