Footprints

	  		
Intro: 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                       Eb 
I didn't know a best friend is 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 

               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               F 
But if you're lost and feeling broken 
           Eb 
Through and through 
                   Bb        F           Bb 
You can follow the footprints I 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              Eb 
Know deep down that I loved you 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 

               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               F 
But if you're lost and feeling broken 
           Eb 
Through and through 
                  Bb         F           Eb 
You can follow the footprints I left for you 

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


Bridge 
    F * 
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 

Outro 
               Bb 
You can follow my footprints 
                      Eb 
But you don't have to fill my shoes 
            Gm              Bb 
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 
Bb            Gm               F 
But if you're lost and feeling broken 
     Eb 
Down and bruised 
                   Bb       F          Eb 
You can follow the footprints I left for you 
                  Bb        F           Bb 
You can follow my footprints I left for you
