[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
                                G   
And the bruise it just won't go away
       F#m7                        G             
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
    D                    A       
And flips through an old magazine
         F#m                  G      Gmaj7      
Till the nurse with the smile stands at the door
    Em7                            A 
And says will you please come with me
D            G      D       
Sara Beth is scared to death
           A                        G   
'cause the doctor just told her the news
            D                   G           D        
Between the red cells and white something's not right
                             G  
But we're gonna take care of you
F#m                         G              
Six chances in ten it won't come back again
         D                   A  
With the therapy we're gonna try
F#m7                             A         G       
It's just been approved it's the strongest there is
                                 A   
And I think that we caught it in time
    G                    A   
And Sara Beth closes her eyes


[Chorus]
Bm7              D      
She dreams she's dancing
       E                  D        
Around and around without any cares
             G                         D    
And her very first love is holding her close
                   E7          A   
And a soft wind is blowing her hair


[Verse]
D                           
Sara Beth is scared to death
            A       G      
As she sits holding her mom
                     D                          
'cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
               G               
A girl with no hair to the prom
              F#m     G                  D     
For just this morning right there on her pillow
                    A            F#m7
Was the cruelest of any surprise ■   
                       G                           
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
                   A            
The proof that she couldn't deny
              G          A   
And Sara Beth closes her eyes


[Chorus]
               C#m7         
And she dreams she's dancing
F#m               Bm7     D        
Around and around without any cares
    A                   D                   
And her very first love is holding her close
A                                  
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
Em7                   D                     
It's quarter to seven that boy's at the door
G                    D     
And her daddy ushers him in
    Em7                      
And when he takes off his cap
D                    
They all start to cry
G                             D            
'cause this morning where his hair had been
G                  A        
Softly she touches just skin
         Bm7 A       F#m              
And they go  dancing around and around
Bm7     D        
Without any cares
    E   A               G       F#m7             
And her very first true love is holding her close
        A                  Esus4 
And for a moment she isn't scared


[Outro]
