------------------------------ Author's Notes ----------------------------------
I've looked through all the chord charts on here and I think that they're all 
still off.  If you listen to the melodies that Lauren Hill and the background 
singers do, there's many more 7ths implied that aren't in the other versions posted

    (CHORUS)

I felt all flushed with fever 
embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters 
and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on.
