Haunted chords

[B]Back when [F]I w[Gm]as a [FBb]child, before life removed all the innocence
[BbDmEb F Bb]
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[BbEb]
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
[Cm Bb]
Then up the stairs he would carry me
[Cm]And I k[F]new for sure I was loved

[BDmGm]If I could get an[Es]other chance, another walk, another

dance with him
[CmGm]
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
[Cm]How I'd love, love, love
[FBb]
To dance with my father again

[BF]When I and my mother would disagree
[GmFBb]To get my way, I would run from her to him
[B]He'd ma[Dm]ke me laugh just to comfort me
[Es]Then finall[F]y make me[B] do just what my mama said
[BbEb]
Later that night when I was asleep
[Cm Bb]
He left a dollar under my sheet
[CmF]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[B]If I [Dm]could s[Gm]teal one final[Es] glance, one final step, one

final dance with him
[CmGm ]
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
[Cm]'Cause I'd love, love, love
[FBb]
To dance with my father again
[Es]Sometimes I'd listen outs[F]ide her door
[B]And I'd [Gm]hear how my mother cried for him
[Es]I pray[F] for her even more than me
[Es]I pray[F] for her even more than me

[B] , [F] , [Gmi] , [Eb]

[CG]I know I'm praying for much too much
[Am]But could[F] you send back the only man she loved
[Dm]I know you [Am]don't do it usually
[Dm]But dear Lord she's dying
[GC]To dance with my father again
[Dm]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
