G        D     C 
We were 18, it was prom night. 
G   D       C 
We had our first big fight. 
G          D 
She said "Pull this car over". 
C             D              Em               D                C 
I did and then I told her, "I don't know what you are crying for". 
C                                            D 
I grabbed her hand, as she reached for the door. 

          G 
She said, I'll walk. 
            C 
Let go of my hand. 
           Em       D                 C        G  F#/G   
Right now I'm hurt,    and you don't understand. 
           Em 
So just be quiet. 
           A 
And later we will talk. 
C              D 
Just leave, don't worry. 
  G 
I'll walk. 

G           D          C 
It was a dark night, a black dress. 
G             D        C 
Driver never saw her, around the bend. 
G               D                    C           D 
I never will forget the call, or driving to the hospital 
Em                     D                  C 
when they told me her legs still wouldn't move. 
C                                D 
I cried, when I walked into her room. 

           G 
She said, I'll walk. 
                 C         G   F#/G  
Please come and hold my hand. 
           Em        D             C  
Right now I'm hurt,   and I don't understand. 
 G   F#/G   Em                A 
Lets just be quiet, and later we can talk. 
          C          D 
Please stay, don't worry. 
    G 
I'll walk. 

  C 
I held her hand through everything. 
    Em                          G 
The weeks and months of therapy. 
C                        D            Em         G  F#/G 
And I held her hand and asked her, to be my bride. 
C                                       Em                     A 
She's dreamed from a little girl, to have her daddy bring her down the aisle. 
     C                                            D 
So from her wheelchair, she looks up at him and smiles. 

           G 
And says, I'll walk. 
        C             
Please hold my hand. 
 G  F#/G     Em            D            C        
I know that this will hurt, I know you understand. 
G  F#/G       Em 
Please daddy don't cry. 
          A 
This is already hard. 
C                D 
Let's go, don't worry. 
      G 
I'll walk.
