CAPO 2
G Em C D
G
She walks to school
Em
With her arms crossed
C
It's just another day
D
At 10 o clock she hears this screaming
G
Then finally she sees them
D
It's scary how things change
C
And I saw the story on the news
Em
I saw the footage from the roof
C D
I sat down and cried
G
Didn't she call you
Em
Didn't she need you bad enough
C
Was there some reason
D
Another way up
G
Did you not write it down
Em
Just one more thing to do
C
Where were you
D
And didn't she pray too
G
He kissed his wife good-bye
Em
And took the earliest flight
C
So he could be home that night
D
To put his kids to sleep
G
Three men walked and said
D
We're here to die for our God
C
Cuz my God died for me
C
I put the magazine down
Em
I read his words out loud
C D
I sat down and cried
G
Didn't he call you
Em
Didn't he need you bad enough
C
Was there some reason
D
Another way up
G
Did you not write it down
Em
Just one more thing to do
C
Where were you
D
And didn't he pray too
C
The taxis pulled up
Em
On the very day
G
They rode 100 floors up
D
Just to come back down
C
They never thought they'd see the day
Em
That the tower would be up in flames
G
There was nothing left to say
D
When it all came down
G
Didn't she call you
Em
Didn't she need you bad enough
C
Was there some reason
D
Another way up
G
Did you not write it down
Em
Just one more thing to do
C C
Where were you, where were you
D
And didn't they pray too
G
I walk to school
Em
And I wear a cross
C
I'm counting
D
Every day
