[Opening]
I [D]never was the biggest [Bm]or the fastest guy
I [D]never hit a [Bm]home run when the game was [G]tied
I [D]knew from an [Bm]early age I wasn’t gonna [G]be
A [Bm]doctor or the [A]CEO of any[G]thing
[section 2]
So I [D]sang, [Bm]”She Believes In Me”, and I [G]played, “Fire On The [D]Mountain”
[Bm]’Til I made my fingers bleed, [A]I [G]tried to stand out from [A]the crowd
But [Bm]most times I just [E]struck out at the [G]plate, [A]so I [D]sang
[section 3]
I [D]wasn’t cool enough to be a [Bm]ladies man
[D]It took [Bm]me forever just to hold her [G]hand
[D]First time we [Bm]kissed, she whispered, I [D]love you
But I [Bm]wasn’t brave [A]enough to say, I [G]loved her too
[section 4]
So I [D]sang, “You [Bm]Are So Beautiful [G]To Me”, and I [D]played,
[Bm]Every note to [A]Faithfully”, [G]I loved her with [A]everything
But I [Bm]couldn’t think of [E]anything [G]to say, [A]so I [D]sang
[section 5]
[G] [A] [Bm] [A]
[D]No one believed in me as [Bm]much as Mom
[D]See, she worked [Bm]overtime to buy my first [G]guitar
When [D]the angels [Bm]called her home, my [A]sister asked if I [D]would speak
But there [Bm]were no words to say how [A]much she meant [G]to me
[Closing]
So I [D]sang, “It [Bm]Is Well With My [G]Soul”, and [D]I played,
“[Bm]I’m So Tired Of Being Al[A]one”, [G]’cause those were Mama’s [A]favorite songs
And [Bm]what I felt would take too [E]long to [G]say, [A] [D]so I sang
