Joe Nichols - The Impossible
I've put a lot of chords into this, but you can probably get away
without playing a lot of them... (sounds nicer if you do though!)
The intro and ending (also after 1st chorus), just alternates between
A and A(add9), so experiment to get it to get the timing right.
A = x02220 A(add9) = x02200
D = xx0232 A/Ab = 4x2220
F#m = 244222 E = 022100
F#m(add9) = 244224 Bm = x24432
A/Db = x42220 F#m7 = 242252
F+ = xx3221

VERSE 1
--------
A A(add9) D A
My dad chased monsters from the dark and checked underneath my bed,
A/Ab F#m D E A
And he could lift me with one arm way up over top his head.
A(add9) D A
He could loosen rusty bolts with a quick turn of his wrench,
A/Ab F#m D E D
He pulled splinters from his hand and never even flinched.
F#m F#m(add9)
In 13 years I'd never seen him cry,
Bm A/Db D E
But the day that grandpa died, I realized.
CHORUS
-------
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/joe_nichols/impossible_crd_ver_2.html ]
A
Unsinkable ships sink,
E
Unbreakable walls break,
F#m F#m7
Sometimes the things you think would never happen
D E
Happen just like that.
A
Unbendable steel bends,
E F+ D
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable.
Bm A/Db D
I've learned to never underestimate
E A
The impossible.
VERSE 2
--------
A A(add9) D A
Then there was my junior year, Billy had a brand new car.
A/Ab F#m D E A
It was late the road was wet, I guess the curve was just too sharp.
A(add9) D A
I walked away without a scratch, they brought the helicopter in,
A/Ab F#m D E D
Billy couldn't feel his legs, they said he'd never walk again.
F#m F#m(add9)
But Billy said he would and his mom and daddy prayed,
Bm A/Db D E
And the day we graduated, he stood up to say:
REPEAT CHORUS
A A(add9) F#m D E
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
-------
D
So don't tell me that its over,
F#m F#m(add9)
Don't give up on you and me.
Bm A/Db
'Cause there's no such thing as hopeless,
D E
If you believe...
REPEAT CHORUS
