When You Cross Over

D  A  D  A

[Verse 1]
        D
In Carolina
                A
There were pictures on the wall
                  D
And the pain is lighter
                                  A
The house is empty now and only shadows fall


[Chorus]
                   G
And when you cross over
              D
I hope she's waiting there for you
                G
When you cross over
                  D
Please know that I'll always love you
                G
When you cross over
           D
Into the spaces in the blue
               D/F#
When you cross over
                                   G
I hope your pain returns into the light
A                      D
When you cross over tonight


[Verse 2]
    D
My brother
                         A
Born in Alabama just as winter calmed
           D
My family moved to Carolina
                                   A
In the shadows of the pines and lumberyards


[Chorus]
                    G
And when you cross over
                 D
I hope they're waiting there for you
                G
When you cross over
                       D
Please know that I'll always love you
                G
When you cross over
           D
Into the spaces in the blue
              D/F#                  G
And may your pain return into the light
                    A   D
When you cross over tonight


[Bridge]
Bm                       D         G     A
I know you didn't wanna leave this way
Bm                             D
I know you tried your best to hide it
           G               A
I'm gonna love you now, anyway


[Verse 3]
       D
In Carolina
         A              Asus  A
Roses bloom beside the house
                        D
Your brother and your sister, your mother and your father
            A
All of your friends gather around


[Chorus]
                    G
And when you cross over
                 D
I hope they're waiting there for you
                G
When you cross over
                     D
Please know that I'll always love you
                G
When you cross over
                D
To the space between the blue
            D/F#                      G
And all the pain dissolves into the light
                   A   D
When you cross over tonight
