The Letter

Ab Db Ab Db Eb

[Verse]
            Db                Eb
She had a ring of gold and a three-year-old
       Ab
And a house with a wooden fence
      Db                   Eb
The doctors tried and her family cried
           Ab
‘Cause it didn’t make no sense
      Db       Eb             Fm            Dm
But somewhere deep inside she knew God knew better
            Bbm                                      Db          Eb
So in the middle of the night… dim night light…she started her letter

It said…

[Chorus]
Db    Eb   Fm
Don’t give up right before the miracle
Eb    Db   Eb   Fm
Don’t let this world turn you cold and cynical
Db                Eb
Take these words write ‘em on your heart
Ab              Db
Let your light shine through the dark
    Bbm             Fm          Eb
And when you think you’ve had enough
             Db   Eb  Fm
Keep looking up
             Db  Eb
Keep looking up

[Verse]
         Db                     Eb
Well she got the note that her momma wrote
        Ab
On the day she turned eleven
       Db            Eb
On the envelope she read the words…
       Ab
To my little girl from heaven
      Db        Eb         Fm           Db
She couldn’t remember the smell of her skin
      Bbm                                 Db          Eb
Oh but on that night it was like she was holding her again

When she read…

[Chorus]

Db    Eb   Fm
Don’t give up right before the miracle
Eb    Db   Eb   Fm
Don’t let this world turn you cold and cynical
Db                Eb
Take these words write ‘em on your heart
Ab              Db
Let your light shine through the dark
    Bbm             Fm          Eb
And when you think you’ve had enough
             Db   Eb  Fm
Keep looking up
             Db  Eb
Keep looking up

[Bridge]
Db                   Ab                 Eb
Find a man who will hold your hand and love you for you
         Db                   Ab                  Db        Dbm
And for heaven’s sake you’ll make mistakes but whatever you do…

[Chorus]
Db    Eb   Fm  F5               Fm
Don’t give up right before the miracle
Eb    Db   Eb   Fm
Don’t let this world turn you cold and cynical
Db                Eb
Take these words write ‘em on your heart
Ab              Db
Let your light shine through the dark
    Bbm             Fm          Eb
And when you think you’ve had enough
         Bbm         Fm           Eb
When you need me to pour down my love
               Db  Eb  Fm
Keep looking up
             Db   Eb  Fm
Keep looking up
             Db  Eb
keep looking up
