D                                    A 
I remember when you told me that our lives were ?bout to change 
G                            A 
I was down in San Antone, you were back home in Killeen 
   D                                A 
We couldn?t help but come up with a bunch of different names 
     G               A                 D  
We forgot about the worries and the things the doctor said... 
 

D      A 
I even had a dream that I saw her little face 
G      A 
I held her in my arms she had the sweetest little smile 
D                                  A 
But deep down inside we knew that our hopes would soon expire 
G              A 
I didn?t know it would hurt so much 
D 
When you told me she was gone... 
 

G      A               D 
We cried and we held each other tight 
G      A            D 
We tried to make sense and not deny 
G                A            D  A        G  F# Em 
Sometimes things happen for a reason they say 
Em      A 
Sometimes the Lord giveth 
      G      A   D 
Sometimes he taketh away  
D                              A 
So we sat up in the bed and I wiped your tears away 
G                                   A 
We came to terms with our misfortune, we even smiled a while 
D      A 
And I promised you that someday soon we?d start to try again 
G        A 
Oh how I pray to God 
D 
That he?d give us one more child 
G      A               D 
We cried and we held each other tight 
G      A            D 
We promised that it would be alright 
  

G      A             D          A  G   F# Em 
Maybe the next time everything will be ok 
Em      A 
Sometimes the Lord giveth 
      G      A   D 
Sometimes he taketh away 
 

Em      A 
Sometimes the Lord giveth 
      G      A   D 
Sometimes he taketh away.
