                   I Once Knew






[Intro]
C G C Am C F

   C                            Am      
I once knew a woman who tried to keep going
     C            C              Am                F
Who made more of life than what she had been dealt
    C       C                  Em           
A woman who raised a city of children 
     Bb                    F            G      F G F G
Who never got back or got asked how she felt
C               C              Am
I once knew a woman who had a laugh just like thunder
C                   C           Am       F         
And hands that can wipe away anyone’s tears
    C                       Am           Em
A women’s whose life wasn’t measured by time
     Bb                   F              G     F G F G
Who stayed the same age despite passing years
              C                Am
So look bright, so look strong
C          Em (D)  Am              F   
Act the unbeatable part you once played
             C          Am
So hold tight, so hold on
         C        Em(D)    Am           F
Hold fast to the delicate future you made
         Bb             
Cause as I’m getting older 
     C          Am
I’m finding the holes
  Bb                    C               
I never wanted to see
          C        Am       F             C
So hold on, hold fast, hold tighter for me
   C           C               Am                                           
I once knew a woman who would take me to breakfast
     C             C             Am                        
Who taught me that I could mix ketchup with eggs
  C                                 F              
I once knew a woman who saw all my moments 
     Bb                       F            G    F G F G
Who taught me to sing and to stand on both legs
  C           C           Am             
I once knew a woman not scared to be challenged
C               C        Em                         
Embracing all chances although she could fail
    C         C               F7
And when she fell down she would always get up
  Bb                F             G
I wasn’t afraid, I knew she’d prevail 
              C          Am
So look bright, so look strong
C          Em             Am        F   
Act the unbeatable part you once played
             C         Am
So hold tight, so hold on
     C            Em       Am         F
Hold fast to the delicate future you made
         Bb             
Cause as I’m getting older 
      F           Am
I’m finding the holes
   Bb             F               
I never wanted to see
         C         Am        F       G  C
So hold on, hold fast, hold tighter for me 
Am                F           Am          C
I don’t have to leave I can stay by your side
G                        Em       E
What can I do so you’re able to see
        Am        Dm           D                  G
That I won’t ever try without you there to catch me
F                 C       Fm         D
So please be the woman I need you to be.
D                     G
Don’t cry, and act strong
Em                  G
Be the unbeatable part you once played
        A       G
So just try and hold on
D                         (Minor)     A 
Everything’s fine mom, you cant be afraid
         Dm        G         Em          D
So hold on, hold fast, hold tighter for me
