Gb        Ab              Fm              Gb
We headed out with mortal hope and apprehension
Gb      Ab               Fm                  Gb
Nothing ventured nothing gained, what did we know?
Gb         Ab               Fm                  Gb
His little hands inside our hands and a million questions
Gb   Ab      Db
  We did it though

[Chorus]

    Gb            Ab
And heaven helped us
    Bbm                 Ab Db
For reasons I can't explain
      Gb            Ab
Yeah, heaven helped us
      Bbm                Ab Db
And I think that it will again

Gb        Ab         Fm               Gb
For every echo every whisper, someone listened
             Ab                Fm                Gb
I don't know what I don't know who but they were there
        Gb                 Ab                   Fm       Gb
Like a man says "once in a while when you least expect it"
                             Ab             Db
Somebody will come and your burdens will be shared, oh

[Middle 8]

               Gb
And when I say thank you
      Ab                 Bbm
Those words they feel so slender
Db           Gb
Something so small
       Ab         Bbm
That nobody would know
Ab   Db        Gbm
What has been done
             Db
What will be done?
