G    D    C
We were 18, it was prom night. 
G D     C
We had our first big fight. 
G      D
She said "Pull this car over". 
C          D          Em             D         C
I did and then I told her, "I don't know what you are crying for". 
C                            D
I grabbed her hand, as she reached for the door. 

     G
She said, I'll walk. 
       C
Let go of my hand. 
       Em     D             C     G   F#/G
Right now I'm hurt,    and you don't understand. 
       Em
So just be quiet. 
       A
And later we will talk. 
C         D
Just leave, don't worry. 
  G
I'll walk. 

G        D       C
It was a dark night, a black dress. 
G         D     C
Driver never saw her, around the bend. 
G            D               C         D
I never will forget the call, or driving to the hospital 
Em              D            C
when they told me her legs still wouldn't move. 
C                     D
I cried, when I walked into her room. 

      G
She said, I'll walk. 
         C      G  F#/G
Please come and hold my hand. 
       Em      D          C
Right now I'm hurt,   and I don't understand. 
 G  F#/G    Em            A
Lets just be quiet, and later we can talk. 
     C        D
Please stay, don't worry. 
     G

  C
I held her hand through everything. 
  Em               G
The weeks and months of therapy. 
C                D       Em      G   F#/G
And I held her hand and asked her, to be my bride. 
C                         Em                 A
She's dreamed from a little girl, to have her daddy bring her down the aisle. 
   C                            D
So from her wheelchair, she looks up at him and smiles. 

      G
And says, I'll walk. 
    C
Please hold my hand. 
 G  F#/G    Em           D         C
I know that this will hurt, I know you understand. 
G  F#/G    Em
Please daddy don't cry. 
       A
This is already hard. 
C           D
Let's go, don't worry. 
      G
I'll walk.
