Footprints

Bb  Eb

[Verse 1]
Bb
Mom and dad told me
Eb
When you were on the way
Gm                   F        Eb
They wouldn't love me any less
Bb
Well I didn't believe them
Eb
I thought you'd take my place
Gm              F                
I didn't know a best friend is 
       Eb
what I'd get


[Pre-Chorus]
F
Through the years I'd make mistakes
   Eb
So you wouldn't have to make them
F
I took chances every day
   Eb
So you'd know when to take them


[Chorus]
               Bb
You can follow my footprints
                      Eb
But you don't have to fill my shoes
            Gm              F
It's just a path for you to follow
   Eb
If you so choose
                 Bb
You can take the road less travelled
                   Eb
Yeah, I'd probably do that too
              Gm              
But if you're lost and feeling 
 F
broken
           Eb
Through and through
                   Bb        F    
You can follow the footprints I 
       Bb
left for you

Eb

[Verse 2]
  Bb
I know it wasn't easy
Eb
Learning how to share
    Gm            F             Eb
But now we get to share the memories
    Bb
And all the times we argued
           Eb
Swore we'd never speak again
     Gm               F           
Know deep down that I loved you 
   Eb
even then


[Pre-Chorus]
F
Through the years I'd make mistakes
   Eb
So you wouldn't have to make them
F
I took chances every day
   Eb
So you'd know when to take them


[Chorus]
               Bb
You can follow my footprints
                      Eb
But you don't have to fill my shoes
            Gm              F
It's just a path for you to follow
   Eb
If you so choose
                 Bb
You can take the road less travelled
                   Eb
Yeah, I'd probably do that too
              Gm              
But if you're lost and feeling 
 F
broken

Through and through
                  Bb         F    
You can follow the footprints I

left for you

   Gm F      Eb            Gm F Eb
Wo-ah     wo-ah         wo-ah

And if one day you run right past me
Eb *
Chasing down your dreams
  F *
I hope that I can look ahead
          Eb *
And you'd turn and say to me

Bb            Gm            
But if you're lost and feeling 
   F
broken
     Eb
Down and bruised
                   Bb       F     
You can follow the footprints I 
     Eb

You can follow my footprints I
