so that’s what’s played in the intro and the verses , and overtop of the chords in
the chorus . i also wrote in the chords for the verses if you don’t want to deal
with the different parts ( which are played at the same time ) /multiple guitars .

[ verse 1 ]

G Em G Cadd9 G Em G Cadd9
i choked back tears today , cuz i can’t begin to say
G Em D/F# Cadd9 G Em D/F# Cadd9
how much you’ve shaped this boy , these last ten years or more .
G Em G Cadd9 G Em G Cadd9
my friends we’ve seen it all , triumphs to drunken falls ,
G Em D/F# Cadd9 G Em D/F# Cadd9
and our bones are broken still , but our hearts are joined until . . .

G Cadd9
time slips its tired hand , into our tired hands .
G Cadd9
we’ve years till that day , i’ve so much more to say . . . .

[ chorus ]
G Em D/F# Cadd9
you give the strength to me , a strength i never had .
G Em D/F# Cadd9
i was a mess you see , i’d lost the plot so bad .
G Em D/F# Cadd9
you drag me up and out , out of the darkest place .
G Em D/F# Cadd9
there’s not a single doubt , when i can see your faces . . .

[ verse 2 ]

G Em G Cadd9 G Em G Cadd9
my friends we’ve seen it all , when it made no sense at all .
G Em D/F# Cadd9 G Em D/F# Cadd9
you dare to light my path , and found the beauty in the aftermath .

G Cadd9
let me hold you up , like you held me up .
G Cadd9
its too long to never say this , you must know i’ve always thought . . .

[ chorus ]

G Em D/F# Cadd9
you give the strength to me , a strength i never had .
G Em D/F# Cadd9
i was a mess you see , i’d lost the plot so bad .
G Em D/F# Cadd9
you drag me up and out , out of the darkest place .
G Em D/F# Cadd9
there’s not a single doubt , when i can see your faces . . .

G Em D/F# Cadd9
you give the strength to me , a strength i never had .
G Em D/F# Cadd9
i was a mess you see , i’d lost the plot so bad .
G Em D/F# Cadd9
you drag me up and out , out of the darkest place .
G Em D/F# Cadd9 G ( let it ring )
there’s not a single doubt , when i can see your faces .
