Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

When I [C]wake up to your footsteps As you [Em]get up out of bed They make a [Dm]song that sounds so simple But [F]dances in my [G]head, a [C]melody so perfect That it [Em]gets me through the day And the [Dm]thought of us forever Is one that won’t [F]ever go [G]away

[C]All I need to know is where to stop [Em]Take my hand and show me forever so I [Dm]Never will I ever let you [G]go

So let’s [C]hold on together, to this [Em]paper and this pen And [Dm]write down every letter, to every [F]word we’ve ever [G]said

[C]All I need to know is where to stop [Em]Take my hand and show me forever so I [Dm]never will I ever let you [G]go

Let’s [C]write our story, and let’s [G]sing our song Let’s [E]hang our pictures on the [Am]wall All these [C]precious moments, that we [G]carved in stone Are [E]only memories after [Am]all [Fm]Memories after [C]all, [Fm]memories after [C]all, and [F]oh

[F]You gave me [C]hope, [F]but I’ve got to let [C]go I’ve got to let [G]go, oh, [F]it’s taking it’s [C]toll [F]Deep in my [C]soul, now I’ve got to let [G]go

We [C]wrote our story, and we [G]sang our songs We [E]hung our pictures on the [Am]wall Now those [C]precious moments, that we [G]carved in stone Are [E]all the memories after [Am]all
