Hardest Thing I Ever Loved To Do

G Cadd9 G The hardest thing I ever loved to do C D G Was letting go of everything I ever knew G Cadd9 Nineteen years of dreams left in my room Am D G As I buttoned up the jacket of my suit G Cadd9 G The hardest word I’ve ever loved to say C D G Was goodbye to my mom and walk away G Cadd9 Choking on my tie and on my tears Am D G As I walked down the hall into those years F Cadd9 G The sweetest song I’ve ever loved to sing F Cadd9 D Filled the MTC on angel’s wings F Cadd9 G The chorus filled my soul five thousand strong F Cadd9 D And I wished it would just go on and on G Cadd9 G The firmest hand I’ve ever loved to shake C D G Was my trainer’s with that big grin on his face G Cadd9 He grabbed my bag and put his arm ‘round me Am D G And whispered, “I’m gonna work those Mr. Macs right off your feet!” G Cadd9 G The hardest words I’ve ever anguished for C D G Came just before some lady slammed her door G Cadd9 My trainer left me hanging out to dry Am D G As a minute of painful silence rolled right by G Cadd9 G But the hardest tears I ever loved to cry C D G Fell as I opened up my mouth and testified G Cadd9 Between the tiny walls of a stranger’s living room Am7 D G The Spirit told their hearts my words were true F Cadd9 G The most wonderful sound I’ve ever heard F Cadd9 D Is the sound of water running in the church F Cadd9 G As someone I’d come to love got dressed in white F Cadd9 B D My eyes saw their first glimpse of Heaven’s light G Cadd9 G The hardest thing I’ve ever come to see C D Em Is a man down on his knees in agony G Cadd9 A drop of blood falls down on olive leaves Am D G And for a moment He suffers there for me G Cadd9 G The hardest thing I’ve ever loved to do C D G Cadd9 D Was getting on this plane and coming home to you G Cadd9 In a million ways completely torn apart Am D G As a land so far away still owns my heart G Cadd9 G In the most sincere prayer I’ve ever prayed C D G I thank my God for each and every day G Cadd9 For the blessing of the man I’ve come to be Am7 D Em As I walk up and kiss my momma’s cheek C G D Em C Am D G
