Verse 1:
        A
Let's start it here
         E    A
Back in nineteen-seventy-sumthin'
      Bm     F#m
I can't pin down the year
         C#m  D
When the romance wasn't dead
        E     A
And love still stood for something
             E     A
There was a girl who had lost her way
            Bm   F#m
She blushed red when he came over
           C#m  D
And they danced the night away
         E     A
And he sung as he drove her home and
         E      A
It was there that she would say
        Bm   F#m
If I could than I would save you
          C#m   D
And he smiled and turned away
               B
In six weeks they're saying "I do"
D          D **         A
Oh, Love just don't go that way no more

Chorus:
       F#m       C#m
And like the seed becomes the tree
      E       A
We'll take shape of a family
  F#m        C#m
We grow and we change
       E             A
And face the rain like you wouldn't believe
        F#m
And through it all
        C#m
We're standing tall
     E         A
And I just don't say it enough
  F#m  C#m
If not for you,
    E            A
No, we wouldn't be standing at all

A E A

Verse 2:
            E  A
And now it's nineteen-ninety-sumthin'
          Bm    F#m
How the hell did we end up here?
         C#m    D
Four kids and a few jobs later
         E     A
And the pictures fill the pages
          E     A
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
              Bm  F#m
But you'd be a fool to give it up
           C#m    D            E    A
'Cause you know that what we've got is bigger than the two of us
            E   A
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
             Bm    F#m
But it's bigger than the two of us
            C#m D
And I will hold you in my arms
           E    B  D
When you feel like giving up
        D **         A
Love just don't go that way no more


Chorus:

       F#m       C#m
And like the seed becomes the tree
      E       A
We'll take shape of a family
  F#m        C#m
We grow and we change
       E             A
And face the rain like you wouldn't believe
        F#m
And through it all
        C#m
We're standing tall
     E         A
And I just don't say it enough
  F#m  C#m
If not for you,
    E            A
No, we wouldn't be standing at all


Verse 3:
           E     A
And now its two-thousand-and-sumthin'
      Bm   F#m
We made it here my dear
          C#m   D
Grandkids and the mortgage paid off
        E    A
Is this what dreams are made of?
        E   A
'Cause baby we made it
        Bm   F#m
Yeah baby you saved me
          C#m  D
But nothing could save him
            Bm *
From the ambulance that day
     E *   F#m *
When he went away
        E *   D *
The heart attack was sharp
      E *  F#m *
He didn't feel no pain
    A *    E *    D *
If you saw him now then what
   E *   F#m *
What would you say?
      E *  D *
I love you and I miss you
  E *     F#m *
I owe you everything
    A **   E **   B **      D **
And I hope you know you saved me (saved me!)

A

Verse 4:
     E  A
Oh mother
     Bm     F#m
Mother please don't cry
         C#m   D
'Cause you know I miss him too
         E   A
I didn't even say goodbye
            E  A
And though he's gone, I know he's gone
         Bm  F#m
He lives on in all of us
          C#m    D
And I will hold you when you cry
    D **            A  E  A
'Cause that's what he would have done
         Bm       F#m  C#m D
Yeah, that's what he would have done
          E       A
Yeah, that's what he would have done
          E     A
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
          Bm  F#m
But he's a part of all of us
           C#m    D
And I will hold you when you cry
           E  A **
