The (Em-F#m) chords are each a beat. Do not pause on them they are a
lead-in to the Bm.
[Verse:]
Bm F#m Em (Em-F#m)
I remember the first day I met you we were so young
Bm F#m Em (Em-F#m)
you were a blessing and there was no guessing you were the one
Bm F#m Em (Em-F#m)
Love is so crazy we had a baby and said our vows
Bm F#m Em (Em
That's when you told me should anything happen I can hear you now
- F#m)
you told me
[Chorus:]
Bm F#m Em (Em-F#m)
If the sun comes up and I'm not home be strong
Bm F#m Em (Em-F#m)
If I'm not beside you do your best to carry on
Bm F#m Em (Em-F#m)
Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand
Bm F#m Em (Single Strum)
Tell them that their daddy was a good man
[Verse]
First anniversary remember we chose a star
And as I stand under it I can't help but wonder if you see it where you are
For whatever reason you don't see the seasons change again
Go there with peace of mind we'll meet on the otherside
'cause true love don't end and baby
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Two eyes looking up at me
Pointing to a picture like where is he
Mamma are you OK what did the paper say to make you cry that way
It said your Daddy lived for you and your daddy died for you
and I'll do the same
[Chorus]
