Tom: A
A D (X4)
Yeah,
Yeah.
[Verse]
D A E A
I know you're hurting - baby, what can I say?
F# A D
Can the pot say to the potter, "Why did you make me this way?"
F# A D F#
And when the pain drives you down to your knees and you cry out
A E
for help in the darkness, that's the safest place you can be.
[Chorus]
A
Hey, baby,
D A
Baby, you could still walk tall,
F# C#m Bm E
You just move a little slower now, that's all,
A F# D
Slow enough to notice the beautiful and small,
A D A D
Baby, you can't run anymore, but you can still walk tall.
[Verse]
E A E A
The doctors say there's nothing more they can do,
F# A
Yeah, but just 'cause they're closing the book, that don't mean
D
the story is through,
F# A D
A wise man once told me, "When your road's at an end you just
F# A E
hang onto hope anyway, and that's where a new road begins."
[Chorus]
A
Hey, baby,
D A
Baby, you could still walk tall,
F# C#m Bm E
You just move a little slower now, that's all,
A F# D
Slow enough to notice the beautiful and small,
A D A D
Baby, you can't run anymore, but you can still walk tall.
[Verse]
E A E
I don't believe this life is for nothing, and not a moment
A
escapes the good Lord's eyes,
E D A C#m
This world tries to tell you there's no answer, but if true love
A D
is real that must be a lie,
E
That must be a lie.
[Bridge]
A E
I am your friend, I know that's understood,
F# A D
And if we could trade places right now, baby, you know that I would,
F# A D F#
Life can be hard and the future's unknown, but our saving grace
E
is the promise we don't have to face it alone.
[Chorus]
A
Hey, baby,
D A
Baby, you could still walk tall
F# C#m Bm E
You just move a little slower now, that's all
A C#m F# E
And in your humbled silence you'll hear your Father call
D F# E
Baby, you can't run anymore, but you'll dance again someday for
A
sure
E A D
Baby, you can't run anymore, but you can still walk tall
E A E A D
You can still walk tall, you could still walk tall.
D
Baby, you could still walk tall.
