G# 
She strums her guitar 
                  Fm7      D#sus4               C#9 
The rosewood is stained with the tears from her eyes 
G#                   G#maj7 
Her phone said "20 missed calls" 
                 Fm7       D#sus4       C#9 
She didn't realize she's been crying all night 

                    C# 
She said she's too young 
                       D#sus4 
Always rushed to get older 
             Fm7    D#sus4   C#9 
Now she's running out of time 
              C#                     D#sus4 
Don't wanna believe the doctor's orders 
         Fm7      D#sus4   C# 
Just awhile ago things were fine 

  G#                    G#/F        D#sus4   D# 
Stephanie... beautiful, beautiful Stephanie 
                    Fm7 
She smiles for the world 
          D#/G           G#    G#/G         C# 
Though she knows that sometimes life's not fair 
  G#                       G#/F            D#sus4   D# 
Stephanie, stronger than anyone thought she'd be 
                  Fm7 
She closes her eyes 
          D#/G         G# 
Lifts her head to the skies 
      D#sus4      C#9 
Lord, are you there? 
              G#    G#/F 
Are you there? 
D#sus4      D#  
Are you there? 

She keeps a diary of all that she feels 
and hides from the world all her pain 
She's speaking to Jesus 
Though, she doesn't know  
Whether to trust or to blame 
She faces a wall and just wants to get over 
But her body is too tired to climb 
Rest in His arms and cry on His shoulders 
The battle is not yours to fight 

Stephanie...beautiful, beautiful Stephanie 
She smiles for the world 
Though she knows that sometimes life's not fair 
Oh, Stephanie... stronger than anyone thought she'd be 
She closes her eyes 
Lifts her head to the skies 
Lord, are you there? 


     Bbm            G#       D#sus4       D# 
I don't know the answers to all of my questions 
      G#       D#sus4     C#9  
Why this had to happen to me 
     Bbm          G#      D#sus4 
But my heart is trusting in you 
D#              Fm7/C# 
Can you set me free? 

Stephanie...beautiful, beautiful Stephanie 
You smile for the world  
Though you know that sometimes life's not fair 
Oh, Stephanie...stronger than anyone thought she'd be 
She closes her eyes  
Lifts her head to the skies 
Lord, are you there?

I am here 
I've been here 
My child, my child I've been here 
I'll never leave you 
Nor forsake you 
I feel your pain 
I've been here
