In a little while from now,

But as if to knock me down,

F#aug
And without so much as a mere touch,
F#6
F7
Cut me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt,

D#

Talk about God and His mer___cy

Who if He really does exist

Now looking back over the years,
A#m7

I remember I cried when my father died
A#

Never wishing to hide the tears
