Intro: D - G - D - A - G

Verse:
D             G          D
Sara Beth is scared to death,
                              G
To hear what the doctor will say,
     D                           G            D
She hasn't been well, since the day that she fell,
                         D         G
and the bruise that just won't go away,

Pre-Chorus:
       Gbm                           G
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad,
      D                         A
And flips through an  old   magazine,
         Gbm                     G
Till the nurse with the sm-ile stands at the door, 
    Em7                            A
and says will you please come with me,

Verse:
 D             G         D
Sara Beth is scared to death,
                       A            G
Cause the doctor just told her the news,
             D
Between the red cells and white,
 G               D                                  G
Something's not right but we're gonna take care of you,

Pre-Chorus:
     Gbm                     G
Six chances in Ten it won't come back again,
            D                     A
With the therapy we're   gonna   try,
     Gbm                          G
It's just been approved it's the strongest there is,
    Em7                  A - Asus4
I think we caught it in time,
Em7                    A
Sara BEth closes her eyes,

Chorus:
A     D          A     D
She dreams she's dan--cin' 
 Gbm         E      Bm         E
Around and Around without any cares
         A         A       D           Dm
And her very first love is holding her close,
         A           E          A
And the soft winds blowin' her hair,

Verse:
D             G          D
Sara Beth is scared to death,
             A           G
As she sits holding her mom,
               D                 G          D
Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take,
                           G
A girl with no hair to the prom,

Pre-Chorus:
     Gbm                    G
Oh just this morning right there on her pillow,
            D                A
Was the cruelest of  any  surprise,
       Gbm                        G
And she cried as she gathered it all in her hands,
    Em7                      A - Asus4
The proof that she couldn't deny,
Em7                    A
Sara Beth closes her eyes,

Chorus:
A     D          A     D
She dreams she's dan--cin' 
 Gbm         E      Bm         E
Around and Around without any cares
         A         A       D           Dm
And her very first love is holding her close,
         A           E          A
And the soft winds blowin' her hair,

Bridge:
       Em7                     D   
It's quarter till seven, that boy's at the door,
         G               D   
And her daddy ushers him in,
         Em7                        D   
But when he takes off his cap, they all start to cry,
            G                         D   
Cause this mornin' where his hair had been,
G                        A
Softly she touches just skin,

Chorus:
A    D  A     D
They go dan--cin' 
 Gbm         E      Bm         E
Around and Around without any cares
         A         A       D            Dm
And her very first love is holding her close,
    - no chords -        A - D - A
For a moment she's unscared,
