Gotta Tell Somebody

Am                           F
She kept on getting weaker,  As day 
dragged into day,
Am                                
The doctors gave no hope for her, 
  F
 She seemed to fade away,
G                                 
My hours were filled with constant
        Am
 dread. Time became a knife,
F                             E  
But slowly and relentlessly, cut 
              Am
the chord of life
Am                                
There was a teacher in the region 
     F
then, Some of us had heard,
Am                           F
That he healed a paralytic,  By the 
power of just his word,
G                              Am
So with hope again rekindled,  I 
went at once to see,
F                             E  
If I could find a man named 
                   Am
Jesus,  From a town in Galilee

[Verse 2]
Am                           F
I began to search the city, Soon I 
saw the crowd,
Am                                
They were pressing in to touch 
  F
him,  And they called his name out 
loud,
G                      
But with the strength of 
                   Am
desperation,  I pushed them all 
aside,
G                           Am
I threw myself before him,  And from
 my knees I cried,
Am                             
Lord come and heal my daughter,  
   F
Even now she's close to death,
Am                            F
Her fever's uncontrollable,  She 
fights for every breath,
G                              Am
But God's given you the power Life 
is your's to give
F                             E  
And if you'll just lay your hands
                   Am
 on her I know that she'll live
Am       G
she'll live
F      E  Am
she'll live

Am                            F
He just begun to go with me,  When a
 face I saw with fear,
Am                             F
Came towards me with the news I knew
 I didn't want to hear,
G                           
And although I tried to steal 
            Am
myself,  I trembled when he said,
F                              
"Why bother the teacher anymore, 
   E                   Am
your little girl is dead."

[Verse 4]
Am                                
Then Jesus touched my shoulder,  And
F
 he told me not to not to grieve,
Am                                
The trembling stopped when he 
           F
looked at me,  and said, "Only 
believe."
G                             Am
Then he sent the crowds away Except 
his closest men,
F                                 
And they followed right behind us,
  E                   Am
  As we started off again,
Am                                
But we were still a long ways down
            F
 the road, When I heard the sounds 
and cries,
Am                              F
of the mourners and musicians,  As 
they strove to dramatize,
G                             Am
My grief they had no business with 
Beneath their loud disguise
F                                 
And my wife just sat their 
  E                         Am
silently And stared through empty 
eyes

[Verse 5]
Am                                
Then Jesus asked the mourners,  "Why
F
 is it that you weep?,
Am                                
She isn't dead as you suppose,  The 
F
child is just asleep."
G                        Am
It only took a moment,  for their 
wails to turn to jeers!
F                               E
"Who does this man think he is 
               Am
Get him out of here!"
Am                           
"But with authority I've never 
           F
heard,  in the lips of any man,
Am                                
He spoke and every sound rolled 
   F
out with the thunder of command,
G                             Am
And in the sudden silence,  They all
 hurried for the door
F                             
Wondering what the reasons were 
    E                    Am
they'd ever come there for

[Verse 6]
Am                                
And then he called his 3 
    F
disciples,  That were with him on 
the way,
Am                                
He led them and my wife and me,  To 
F
where our daughter lay
G                          Am
He took her by the hand,  he told 
her, "Child arise."
F                                 
And the words were barely spoken, 
  E                      Am
 when she opened up her eyes,
Am                                
She rose and walked across the 
    F
room and stood there at our sides
Am                            
My wife knelt down and held her 
           F
close,  And at last she really cried
G                            Am
And then Jesus told us both to see 
our daughter have some food
F                                 
But as to how her life was saved 
E               Am
Not to speak a word
