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 dared 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.

I choked back tears today
Because I can't begin to say
How much you shaped this boy
These last ten years or more
My friends we've seen it all
Triumphs to drunken falls
And our bones are broken still
But our hearts are joined until
Time slips its tired hand
Into our tired hands
We've years to that day
And so much more to say
You give the strength to me
A strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You drag me up and out
Of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
When I can your faces
My friends weve seen it all
When it made no sense at all
You dare to light my path
And found the beauty in the aftermath
Let me hold you up
Like you held me up
It's too long to never say this
You must know I always thought
You give the strength to me
A strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You drag me up and out
Of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
When I can your faces
You give the strength to me
A strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You drag me up and out
Of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
When I can your faces.
