This is my first time and I'm not sure the best way to do it, so I'll keep it simple and let someone else make it better.
It's a cool song. We gotta start somewhere. It also sounds good to walk down the low E string between the G and Em7 to fill
in the melody. Hopefully someone else enjoys this.
Capo 1
Intro Bb C D Bb C
[G]Shes in the kitchen at the crack of dawn
[Em7]Bacons on, [A7]coffees strong
Kids ru[D]nning wild, taking [F#m]off their clothes
If shes a n[Bm]ervous wreck, well it never shows
[G]Takes one to football and one to dance
[Em7]Hits the Y for a[A7]erobics class
Drops [D]by the bank, stops [F#m]at the store
Has [Bm]on a smile when I walk through the door
[G]The last to go to bed, shell be the first
one [Em7]up
And[A7] I thought I was t[D]ough
Chorus
Shes s[Bb]trong, pushes [C]on, cant [D]slow her down
She can [Bb]take anyth[C]ing life d[A7]ishes out
Ther[G]e was a time
Back before [Em7]she was mine
When [A7]I thought I was t[D]ough
We sat there five years ago
The doctors let us know, the test showed
Shed have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
She held me and said its gonna be alright
She wore that wig to church
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear, full of faith
Hands held high singing Amazing Grace
Never once complained, refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough
Chorus
Shes strong, pushes on, cant slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough
Shes a [C]gentle word, the sw[G]eetest kiss
A ve[Em7]lvet touch aga[G]inst my s[D]kin
Ive se[C]en her cry, Ive s[G]een her break
But i[Em7]n my eyes, shell al[A7]ways be [Bb]str[C]on[D]g
[Bb] [C] [A7]
[G]There was a time
Back before [Em7]she was mine
When [A7]I thought I was t[Bb]ough[C][D]
