pa - love dares me

Verse 1

C                                                G

Pa I skipped a rock three times then you threw

Am                                             G

Six Skips! You were my hero. Yes it’s true.

Am                                             G

Then I grew, and you knew, I would make Nine in time,

F                                                E

And you put up a fence that I had to climb

C                                                G

And now on the other side, I look back and invite you,

Am                                                G

Thanking you with all my heart for all that I’ve cost you,

Am                                                      G

And all that you’ve given me, and what you’d never seen before living in me,

F                                                G

And all I can feel now is how much I Love You,  

 Chorus 1

C                                                     G

And that Love is so very big now that it really scares me,

Am                                                          G

So long since I’ve felt so deep for you and Love Dares me,

F                                                            C

And the Father that made both of us, Lives in me and you,

F                                                               G

And Joins together two grown men in saying You’re My Hero!

Verse 2

       C                                             G

And yeah sure I can stand now and I can support YOU,

Am                                                G

In your baby steps past the fence out to reward you,

Am                                                   G

For all the strength you’ve given, in helping me advance while the reins you held on in,

F                                                G

And now God takes us over at the gate where I embrace you,

Chorus 2

C                                                G

Hallelujah Hallelu – Love so big that it takes us over

Am                                                G

‘Cause neither of us could ever deny how much we remember,

F                                          C

And all the Bad and Ugly of the past is over,

F                                                         G

Cause Pa all I remember now is how much I’ve missed you,

 Bridge

Em                                 Dm      

And six then one and one then Nine,

Em                                  Dm

You lit the Torch that now I can shine,

F                                        C

And as I take your hand I whisper to you,

F                                          G                                        

The Fire is all Around and JUUUMMMPPP I yell WITH you!

Chorus 3

C                                                G

And we hold up our hands as the Love surrounds us,

Am                                                Em

We do and do, just me and you, and nothing between us,

F                                                         C

And we both have graduation as we take out our stones and throw them,

F                                                                G

And tip our tops toward each other as we watch them,

Chorus 4

C                                                             G

Oh Pa I’ve got to be Frank with you, Oh Pa it can really scare me,

Am                                                          G

So Long since I’ve been missing you, and Love Dares Me,

F                                               C

And thank you for everything and all that you are,

F                                                    G                                   

It’s God that really brought us to the unreachable Star.
