  C               Bm      E7      Am7
I can't remember when you weren't there,

Gm7    C7      FM7        G7      Em7 G
When I didn't care for anyone but you.

    C                 Bm7       E7          Am7
I swear we've been through everything there is,

              Gm7    C          FM7
Can't imagine anything we've missed;

              C          Dm            G     G7 G6 G
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do.
[Chorus]
Gsus        C          Am7          Dm7
Through the years; You never let me down,

       G         G7     Em
You've turned my life around.

     Am7               Dm7                     G
The sweetest days I've found; I've found with you.

Through the years,

       A7         Dm7
I've never been afraid,

I've loved the life we've made

Who I trusted, who I listened to before.
