[Verse 1]
G
Let's start it here
D G
Back in nineteen-seventy-sumthin'
Am Em
I can't pin down the year
Bm C
When the romance wasn't dead
D G
And love still stood for something
D G
There was a girl who had lost her way
Am Em
She blushed red when he came over
Bm C
And they danced the night away
D G
And he sung as he drove her home and
D G
It was there that she would say
Am Em
If I could than I would save you
Bm C
And he smiled and turned away
A
In six weeks they're saying "I do"
C C G
Oh, Love just don't go that way no more
[Chorus]
Em Bm
And like the seed becomes the tree
D G
Would take shape of a family
Em Bm
We grow and we change
D G
And face the rain like you wouldn't believe
Em
And through it all
Bm
We're standing tall
D G
And I just don't say it enough
Em Bm
If not for you,
D G
No, we wouldn't be standing at all
G- D- G
[Verse 2]
D G
And now it's nineteen-ninety-sumthin'
Am Em
How the hell did we end up here?
Bm C
Four kids and a few jobs later
D G
And the pictures fill the pages
D G
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
Am Em
But you'd be a fool to give it up
Bm C D G
'Cause you know that what we've got is bigger than the two of us
D G
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
Am Em
But it's bigger than the two of us
Bm C
And I will hold you in my arms
D A C
When you feel like giving up
C G
Love just don't go that way no more
[Chorus]
Em Bm
And like the seed becomes the tree
D G
Would take shape of a family
Em Bm
We grow and we change
D G
And face the rain like you wouldn't believe
Em
And through it all
Bm
We're standing tall
D G
And I just don't say it enough
Em Bm
If not for you,
D G
No, we wouldn't be standing at all
[Verse 3]
D G
And now its two-thousand-and-sumthin'
Am Em
We made it here my dear
Bm C
Grandkids and the mortgage paid off
D G
Is this what dreams are made of?
D G
'Cause baby we made it
Am Em
Yeah baby you saved me
Bm C
But nothing could save him
Am
From the ambulance that day
D Em
When he went away
D C
The heart attack was sharp
D Em
He didn't feel no pain
G D C
If you saw him now then what
D Em
What would you say?
D C
I love you and I miss you
D Em
I owe you everything
G D A C
And I hope you know you saved me (saved me!)
G
[Verse 4]
D G
Oh mother
Am Em
mother please don't cry
Bm C
'Cause you know I miss him too
D G
I didn't even say goodbye
D G
And though he's gone, I know he's gone
Am Em
He lives on in all of us
Bm C
And I will hold you when you cry
C G D G
'Cause that's what he would have done
Am Em B C
Yeah, that's what he would have done
D G
Yeah, that's what he would have done
D G
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
Am Em
But he's a part of all of us
Bm C
And we will hold you when you cry
D G
'Cause that's what family does
