[Intro] G D G A D G A G [Verse 1]
D                   G  D
Starting out, I had no idea

D                      G
No idea how this would end

G           A              D     G
To know I'd meet the woman of my dreams

G           A                  D
But fall in love with her best friend
[Verse 2]
D                   G  D
Lord knows we all make mistakes

D                           G
And I'll admit, I've made a few

G           A              D       G
But every twist and turn along the way

G    A               D
Only lead me here to you
[Chorus]
G                             D Dmaj7 D x2
You know that's true, yes you do

G                          D              A6
In all I do, always do for you, always be true
[Verse 3]
D                         G          D
Years passed by and, yes, time moved on

D                       G
And as my hair began to grey

G        A            D           Em
Life got harder as it does for us all

G               A            D
And I swear she never aged a day
[Instrumental] G D G A D G A G [Verse 4]
D                           G   D
Our family grew and she was all alone

D                          G
I was working most all the time

G           A            D     G
Told myself that we were doing fine

G      A             D
I only told myself a lie
[Verse 5]
D                     G      D
Always moving and she got no rest

D                          G
She seemed to shoulder any load

G         A           D    G
Loving me could be no easy test

G        A                D
When the rubber meets the road
(Hang on D for a bit) [Verse 6]
D                   G      D
What happened next, no one could know

D                           G
Some say it wasn't meant to be

G     A                D    G
To go back to where it all began

G            A               D
And live our life out by the sea
[Chorus]
G                             D Dmajor7 D 
You know that's true, yes you do

G                          D              A6
In all I do, always do for you, always be true
[Verse 7]
D               G      D
Anyone here can see my face

D                  G
Anyone can hear me sing

G         A             D       Em
She's the only one that holds my heart

G         A             D
The only one who wears my ring
[Outro] G D G A D G A G x2
