Chords and lyrics for The Impossible by Joe Nichols (key of A).
Verse 1
Joe Nichols - The Impossible
Verse
[A]My dad chased [Aadd9]monsters from [D]the dark and checked underneath [A]my bed,
And he could [A/Ab]lift me with one [F#m]arm way up [D]over [E]top his [A]head.
He could [Aadd9]loosen [D]rusty bolts with a quick turn of [A]his wrench,
He pulled [A/Ab]splinters from his [F#m]hand and [D]never [E]even [D]flinched.
In 13 years I'd [F#m]never seen him [F#madd9]cry,
But the [Bm]day that grandpa [A/Db]died, I [D]realized.[E]
Chorus
Unsinkable [A]ships sink,
Unbreakable [E]walls break,
Sometimes the [F#m]things you think would [F#m7]never happen
[D]Happen just like [E]that.
Unbendable [A]steel bends,
If the [E]fury of the wind [F+]is [D]unstoppable.
I've [Bm]learned to never [A/Db][D]underestimate
[E] The [A]impossible.
Verse 2
[A]Then there [Aadd9]was my [D]junior year, Billy had a brand [A]new car.
It was [A/Ab]late the road was [F#m]wet, I guess the [D]curve was [E]just too [A]sharp.
I walked [Aadd9]away without [D]a scratch, they brought the [A]helicopter in,
Billy [A/Ab]couldn't feel his [F#m]legs, they said he'd [D]never [E]walk [D]again.
But Billy said he would and his [F#m]mom and daddy [F#madd9]prayed,
And the [Bm]day we [A/Db]graduated, he stood [D]up to say:[E]
Instrumental
[A] [Aadd9] [F#m] [D] [E]
Bridge
So don't [D]tell me that its over,
Don't give [F#m]up on you and [F#madd9]me.
'Cause there's [Bm]no such thing as [A/Db]hopeless,
If [D]you [E]believe...
Chorus
