         D                 Bm 
My heads racin', my hearts pacin' 
                G 
Thinkin' 'bout what I have to do 
          D                 Bm 
Ain't got no idea how he's gonna feel 
          G 
When he hears the news 
    D            Bm 
Baby I know it's not what we planned 
   G                    D 
And oh I know there's no ring on my hand  
G           D                  A 
But this is somethin' we gotta do

You never know where you're going until you're there 
D                            A 
This world is cruel, just as it is cold 
            G              D 
and it's a long and crazy up-hill road 
D                     A 
But dont stop now, no don't look back 
         G               A

Plannin' on what we have to do 
             D                       Bm 
We told our family, they weren't real happy 
         G 
But they accept the truth

It left me scared and alone in that hospital bed 
G                   D                  A 
They said they were sorry, but she was gone
