[Em]Blue jeans, [D]White shirt
[A]Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like, [Em]James Dean, [D]for sure
[A]You so fresh to death and sick as ca-cancer
[Em]You were sorta punk rock, [D]I grew up on hip hop
But [A]you fit me better than my favourite sweater, and I know
[Em]That love is [D]mean, and love hurts
But [A]I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!


[Em]I will love you [D]till the end of [A]time
[A]I would wait a million [Em]years
[Em]Promise you’ll [D]remember that you’re [A]mine
[A]Baby can you see through the tears
[Em]Love you [D]more, than those bitches before
[A]Say you’ll remember, oh baby, say you’ll remember
[Em]I will love you [D]till the end of [A]time


[Em]Big dreams, [D]Gangster
[A]Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like: [Em]”No please”, [D]”Stay here”
[A]”We don’t need no money we can make it all work”
[Em]But he headed out on [D]Sunday, said he’d come home Monday
I [A]stayed up waiting, anticipating and pacing but he was
[Em]Chasing, Paper [D]
[A]”Caught up in the game” that was the last I heard


[Em]I will love you [D]till the end of [A]time
[A]I would wait a million [Em]years
[Em]Promise you’ll [D]remember that you’re [A]mine
[A]Baby can you see through the tears
[Em]Love you [D]more, Than those bitches before
[A]Say you’ll remember, oh baby, say you’ll remember
[Em]I will love you [D]till the end of [A]time


[Em]He went out every night, And baby that’s alright
I told you that no matter what you did, I’d be by [D]your side
[D]Cause I’m a ride or die, Whether you fail or fly,
[D]Well shit at least you tried.
But when you walked out that [Em]door, a piece of me died
[Em]I told you I wanted more, but that not what I had in mind
I just want it like [D]before, We were dancing all night
[D]Then they took you away, stole you out of my life
[D]You just need to remember…


[Em]I will love you [D]till the end of [A]time
[A]I would wait a million [Em]years
[Em]Promise you’ll [D]remember that you’re [A]mine
[A]Baby can you see through the tears
[Em]Love you [D]more, Than those bitches before
[A]Say you’ll remember, oh baby, say you’ll remember
[Em]I will love you [D]till the end of [A]time
