Chords

[Verse 1]
G                    Em  
We built a life from scraps and prayers  

C                 D  
In quiet rooms and worn-out chairs  

G               Em  
You were young with fire eyes  

C              D  
And I was learning truth from lullabies  
[Verse 2]
G                   Em  
There was a warmth that filled the space  

C                 D  
A soft reminder, love leaves a trace  

G                Em  
Now all that’s left are quiet signs  

C                D  
Of fleeting souls and gentler times  
[Chorus]
G                  C  
Eighteen summers, blinked and burned  

G                D  
Pages turned and lessons learned  

Em                C  
Through heartache, pain, and broken skies  

G               D  
And through it all, we learned to rise  

G                  C  
You’ve got your wings, I’ve got this place  

G                 D  
You’re chasing dreams, I see your face  

Em                 C                        G
And I’ll be here — where love don’t say goodbye  
D [Verse 3]
G                   Em  
We made new friends, we found new kin  

C                D  
Through every loss, we let love in  

G                 Em  
You’ve seen me fall, seen me break  

C                D  
Still you gave more than I could take  
[Bridge]
Em                 C  
I stood my ground when times got tough  

G                  D  
Through darkest nights, I held on rough  

Em                C  
My heart kept beating strong and true  

D  
And I’d walk through fire just for you  
[Chorus]
 G                  C  
Eighteen summers, blinked and burned  

G                D  
Pages turned and lessons learned  

Em                C  
Through heartache, pain, and broken skies  

G               D  
And through it all, we learned to rise  

G                  C  
You’ve got your wings, I’ve got this place  

G                 D  
You’re chasing dreams, I see your face  

Em                 C  
And I’ll be here — where love don’t say goodbye  
G D [Outro]
G                 C  
So take these years, and take my hand  

G                D  
Go chase your dreams, go make your stand  

G                C  
Just don’t forget this heart of mine—  

Em           D          G  
It beats for you, for all of time
