[Verse 1]
Csus2 C    Am7     Cadd9         Gsus4
     I was there when you were born

Csus2 C  Am7       Cadd9   Gsus4
Took you from your momma's arms

Csus2 C  Am7    Cadd9     Gsus4
Stood in awe, a witness to

  Csus2 C        Am7      Cadd9 Gsus4
The first breath that you ever drew

 Csus2 C Am7        Cadd9    Gsus4
I wish I could have held you when

 Csus2 C      Am7        Cadd9 Gsus4
You left this world like I did then

     Csus2 C Am7       Cadd9       Gsus4
Last time we spoke was on the phone

  Csus2 C   Am7    Cadd9      Gsus4
And we hung up and now you're gone
[Chorus]
    Csus2 C  Am7       Cadd9 Gsus4
Last thing I said was, "I love you"

       Csus2 C         Am7       Cadd9      Gsus4
And your last words to me were, "I love you too"
[Instrumental] Csus2 C Am7 Cadd9 Gsus4 Csus2 C Am7 Cadd9 Gsus4 [Verse 2]
 Csus2 C     Am7     Cadd9     Gsus4
I don't know why you hurt so bad

  Csus2 C     Am7     Cadd9    Gsus4
Just know you did, it makes me sad

     Csus2 C Am7  Cadd9    Gsus4
Said everything I meant to say

 Csus2 C    Am7     Cadd9 Gsus4
I could not make it go away

  Csus2 C Am7     Cadd9      Gsus4
Wherever  you are travelling now

  Csus2 C  Am7    Cadd9 Gsus4
It doesn't matter anyhow

   Csus2 C     Am7    Cadd9  Gsus4
Can't help but wonder if you knew

 Csus2 C   Am7     Cadd9        Gsus4
You took a part of me away with you
[Chorus]
    Csus2 C  Am7       Cadd9 Gsus4
Last thing I said was, "I love you"

       Csus2 C         Am7       Cadd9      Gsus4
And your last words to me were, "I love you too"
[Instrumental] Csus2 C Am7 Cadd9 Gsus4 Csus2 C Am7 Cadd9 Gsus4 Csus2 C Am7 Cadd9 Gsus4 Csus2 C Am7 Cadd9 Gsus4 [Verse 3]
  Csus2 C   Am7        Cadd9   Gsus4
You made me laugh, you made me cry

   Csus2 C    Am7        Cadd9    Gsus4
You showed me truth, you told me lies

   Csus2 C  Am7   Cadd9     Gsus4
You tore my heart apart and then

    Csus2 C    Am7      Cadd9      Gsus4
You brought me back the piece again

 Csus2 C    Am7  Cadd9     Gsus4
Now I don't know what I'll do

 Csus2 C  Am7   Cadd9  Gsus4
Until the day I follow you

Csus2 C     Am7      Cadd9  Gsus4
Through the darkness to the light

  Csus2 C      Am7     Cadd9    Gsus4
'Cause I loved you for all your life
[Chorus]
    Csus2 C  Am7       Cadd9 Gsus4
Last thing I said was, "I love you"

       Csus2 C         Am7       Cadd9      Gsus4
And your last words to me were, "I love you too"
