The Cross Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I thought she was havin' tro[D]uble,
so I [G]stopped to lend [Em]a hand.
[Am]I didn't see that wooden cross[D]
behind [G]her Chevy minivan.
I said [C]"sorry ma'am" she [D]said "that's alright,
[G]most folks drive on [C]past."
[F]She told me the his[C]tory even
[D]though I didn't ask.

[Interlude 1]
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]"It's been 14 years [D]today
[G]since I took his [Em]name.
And a [Am]year ago [D]December when we
[G]got that freezin' rain.
[C]I'm not one to blame [D]God,
but at [G]first I took [C]it bad.
Now I've [F]learned to count the bless[C]ings,
every [D]mo ment that we [G]had.

[Verse 3]
"I don't [C]come to mourn his dying,
but to [G]celebrate his life.
Ya know, [Am]death can never stop [D]a love
between a [G]husband and a wife.
There's [C]something 'bout me coming
here [G]when I'm [C]feeling lost.
When I [Am]need to find [G]my peace of mind,
[C]I jus[D]t come to the cross."

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
I [Am]got back in my [D]pickup truck and
I [G]drove away [Em]in tears.
[Am]Thanked God for a fam[D]ily and every
[G]mo ment we've had here.
Cause [C]who knows what tomor[D]row holds
or what's [G]waiting round [C]the bend?
And every [F]time I pass a wooden [C]cross,
I [D]hear those words again.
[G]

[Verse 5]
"I don't [C]come to mourn his dying,
but to [G]celebrate his life.
Ya know, [Am]death can never stop [D]a love
between a [G]husband and a wife.
There's [C]something 'bout me coming
here [G]when I'm [C]feeling lost.
When I [Am]need to find my [G]peace of mind,
[C]I jus[D]t come to the cross.
[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]

[Outro 1]
I just come to the cross."
