The Dash

• Db

(Intro) 
2x 
Db  Bbm   Ab, 



(Verse) 
      Db          Bbm           Ab  
Whole town showed up, gymnasium filled 
Db        Bbm                     Ab 
Floor was wet, from all the tears spilled 
        Db           Bbm                         Ab 
And the preacher man said, we're all gathered today  
         Db       Bbm                     Ab 
And I'll never forget, what he had to say 



            Db      Bbm7          Bbm      Ab 
It's always too soon, it's always too fast 
                      Db   Bbm7 
There'll never come a day 
                        Bbm   Ab 
That you don't want 'em back 
                   Db     Bbm7 
It ain't about the numbers 
            Bbm      Ab  
Chiseled in concrete 
                          Db    Bbm7 
It's how they lived their lives 
               Bbm  Ab                   Db  Bbm  Ab 
In the dash between,  in the dash between 


(Verse) 
         Db            Bbm             Ab 
He was a steelworker's son, homecoming king 
           Db        Bbm                        Ab 
He trained day and night, for that championship ring 
         Db      Bbm                 Ab 
He found him a girl, made her his queen 
       Db             Bbm                          Ab 
And he fought for his country, and he gave it everything 



            Db      Bbm7          Bbm      Ab 
It's always too soon, it's always too fast 
                      Db   Bbm7 
There'll never come a day 
                        Bbm   Ab 
That you don't want 'em back 
                   Db     Bbm7 
It ain't about the numbers 
            Bbm      Ab  
Chiseled in concrete 
                          Db    Bbm7 
It's how they lived their lives 
               Bbm  Ab               Bbm7 
In the dash between,  in the dash between 


(bridge) 
Bbm7 
Their first breath and their last 
      Cm 
Marks all the memories of the past 
     Db                             Gb 
That little black line defines a legacy 

(Instrumental) 
Db  Bbm   Ab, 


(Chorus out) 
(Chorus) 
            Db      Bbm7          Bbm      Ab 
It's always too soon, it's always too fast 
                   Db    Bbm7                Bbm  Ab 
They're always too young,     it's always so sad 
                   Db     Bbm7 
It ain't about the numbers 
            Bbm      Ab  
Chiseled in concrete 
                          Db    Bbm7 
It's how they lived their lives 
               Bbm  Ab               Db  Bbm Ab              Db  Bbm Ab(stop) 
In the dash between,  in the dash between,     in the dash between,  


(reprise) 
4x 
Db  Bbm   Ab,
