Stephanie

G#
She strums her guitar
                  Fm7      D#sus4               C#9
The rosewood is stained with the tears from her eyes
G#                   G#maj7
Her phone said "20 missed calls"
                 Fm7       D#sus4       C#9
She didn't realize she's been crying all night

                    C#
She said she's too young
                       D#sus4
Always rushed to get older
             Fm7    D#sus4   C#9
Now she's running out of time
              C#                     D#sus4
Don't wanna believe the doctor's orders
         Fm7      D#sus4   C#
Just awhile ago things were fine

  G#                    G#/F        D#sus4   D#
Stephanie... beautiful, beautiful Stephanie
                    Fm7
She smiles for the world
          D#/G           G#    G#/G         C#
Though she knows that sometimes life's not fair
  G#                       G#/F            D#sus4   D#
Stephanie, stronger than anyone thought she'd be
                  Fm7
She closes her eyes
          D#/G         G#
Lifts her head to the skies
      D#sus4      C#9
Lord, are you there?
              G#    G#/F
Are you there?
D#sus4      D#
Are you there?

She keeps a diary of all that she feels
and hides from the world all her pain
She's speaking to Jesus
Though, she doesn't know
Whether to trust or to blame
She faces a wall and just wants to get over
But her body is too tired to climb
Rest in His arms and cry on His shoulders
The battle is not yours to fight

Stephanie...beautiful, beautiful Stephanie
She smiles for the world
Though she knows that sometimes life's not fair
Oh, Stephanie... stronger than anyone thought she'd be
She closes her eyes
Lifts her head to the skies
Lord, are you there?


     Bbm            G#       D#sus4       D#
I don't know the answers to all of my questions
      G#       D#sus4     C#9
Why this had to happen to me
     Bbm          G#      D#sus4
But my heart is trusting in you
D#              Fm7/C#
Can you set me free?

Stephanie...beautiful, beautiful Stephanie
You smile for the world
Though you know that sometimes life's not fair
Oh, Stephanie...stronger than anyone thought she'd be
She closes her eyes
Lifts her head to the skies
Lord, are you there?


pluck slow through these: G#  - D#sus4, D# - Fm7 - C#9

I am here
I've been here
My child, my child I've been here
I'll never leave you
Nor forsake you
I feel your pain
I've been here
