So 2013 was my third Boston Marathon.
I never finished that marathon.
I was about a half a mile away, and my family was at the finish line waiting for me
when the bombs went off.
Paige was three at the time, and some of the things she saw at the finish line were pretty horrific.
I couldn't be angry because I had to get my daughter past it.
So my wife and I decided that we were going to focus on all the good,
that we can come back from a terrorist attack, and that we can run the next year and not be afraid.
[Bbm]
[Eb] [Bbm]
Well I bet my [Eb] soul on a six-string [Bbm] gamble
And I climb like hell through the brush and the bramble
Even though I had my doubts, told [Bb] myself don't look down
[Bbm] And I turned that hill into a pile of gravel
It was [Eb] only a mountain, [Fm] nothing but a big old rock
[Eb] Only a mountain, it [Fm] ain't hard if you don't stop
[Eb] It just took a little step, a right then a [Fm] left then a couple million [Db] more Who's counting?
Hell, it's [Bbm] only a mountain
[Eb] [Bbm]
[Ab] [Bbm]
Well you better know the [Eb] bottom if you want to be a [Bbm] climber
[Eb] [Bbm] Cause there's always another [Ab] one a little bit [Bbm] higher
Just when I think I'm finally [Eb] done, I'm [Bbm] staring at another one
So I reach down [Eb] deep and I lace them up tighter
[Bbm]
It was only a [Eb] mountain, [Fm] nothing but a big old rock
[Ab] Only a mountain, [Eb] it [Fm] ain't hard if you don't stop
[Eb] It just took a little step, a right then a left now standing on the [Db] top just shouting
It's [Ab] only a [Eb] mountain
[Fm] Only [Ab] a mountain
[Eb]
[Fm] [Bb]
[Bbm] Only a mountain
[Bb] It was only a mountain
[Eb]
[Bbm] [Eb] [Bbm] Faith, love, it got me through
Just visualizing Katie [Bb] waiting for me at the finish line
[Bbm] And that was the best kiss I've ever [Bb] had
[Bbm] [Eb] [Bbm] [F] [Bbm]
