Capo 1
Intro: Em
Em
She wakes up some days life is cruel
B
She's on a chain gang sittin' in a typing pool
C D Em
And Her brain feels all dragged down
Em
The gossip flies, the coffee's stale
B
She wants to run outside and scream like hell
C D Em
'Til it turns Her luck around
G A
Doesn't matter how insane it gets
G C D
She's got one dream and Her sights set, She says -
Em
I'm just waitin' for it
A
I'm just makin' sure that
C D Em
My heart's steady as a drum
Em
Brighter days are dawnin'
A
My faith's holding strong, 'n' -
C D Em
I'll be ready when it comes
Em
He drives around the block a thousand times
B
He can't go home 'til He clears his mind
C D Em
And His supper's cold by now
Em
The doctor's words crash through His ears
B
About a treatment plan and a lot of years
C D Em
He will live to see somehow
G A
He gathers all His friends and family
G C D
He says, wrap Your lovin' arms around Me
Em
I know I can do this
A
Love will get Me through this,
C D Em
My heart's steady as a drum
Em
Brighter days are dawnin'
A
My faith's holding strong, 'n' -
C D Em
'n' I'll be ready when it comes
A
(when it comes)
One light shinin' that is brighter than the sun
C
(when it comes)
Way down deep inside the heart of Everyone
A
(when it comes)
I reach past My troubles for the strength to carry on
B
(when it comes)
And find that what I need was right there all along

I'm just waitin' for it
