The Impossible by Joe Nichols
The Impossible
Capo:no capo
Capo on the second fret.
G
My dad chased monsters from the dark
C
And checked underneath my bed
G
He could lift me with one arm
C
Way over top his head
G
He could loosen rusty bolt's
C
With a quick turn of his wrench
G
He pulled splinter's from his hand
C
And never even flinch
Em C
In thirteen years I never seen him cry
Am C D
But the day that grandpa died I realized
Chorus:
D G D
Unsinkable ships sink, Unbreakable walls break
Em
Sometimes the things you think would never happen
C
Happen just like that
D G
Unbendable steel bends
D C
If the flurry of the wind is unstoppable
Am C
I've learned to never underestimate
D G
The Impossible
Verse2:
G
Then there was my junior year
C
Billy had a brad new car
G
It was late the road was wet
C
I guess the curve was just to sharp
G
I walked away without a scratch
C
They brought the helicopter in
G
Billy couldn't feel his legs
C
They said he would never walk again
Em
But Billy said he would
C
And his mom and dad prayed
Am C
And the day we graduated He stood up to say
Repeat chorus:
Bridge:
Am
So dont tell me that it's over
Bm
Don't give up on you and me
Am C
Cause there's no such thing as hopless
D
If you believe
Repeat chorus.

version 2
Capo:no capo
I've put a lot of chords into this, but you can probably get away
without playing a lot of them... (sounds nicer if you do though!)
The intro and ending (also after 1st chorus), just alternates between
A and A(add9), so experiment to get it to get the timing right.
A = x02220 A(add9) = x02200
D = xx0232 A/Ab = 4x2220
F#m = 244222 E = 022100
F#m(add9) = 244224 Bm = x24432
A/Db = x42220 F#m7 = 242252
F+ = xx3221
