Intro: G D Am C G D Am C 

G                  D 
You've stood by my side  
Am                  C 
Tear stung eyes and late nights 
G                 D          Am     C 
And I've wondered why you've stayed there 
G                  D 
And you've held my hand  
Am                         C 
When fears struck me and I couldn't stand 
G        D  Am      C 
Now I stand taller, stronger 
C             Am                G              D 
And I want to find the words to tell you how I feel 
C                 Am              G                  D 
But my mind keeps racing back and forth so I'll just say 


G             D 
Thank you for holding my hand.  
Am                      C                  G            D      Am      C 
Kissing my boo boos and teaching me how to stand up for what I believe in 
    G             D 
And thank you for being the boss 
Am                  C                    G 
Taking control when I don't know what to do 
D               Am   C 
Remember that I love you 

G D Am C 

2nd verse 

G              D 
Your kids have grown 
Am                 C                       G 
Some left home and some have kids of their own 
D             Am    C 
But you never leave them 
G                 D 
And you've taught us  
       Am              C 
How to live our lives, do what's right 
C             Am                G              D 
And I want to find the words to tell you how I feel 
C                 Am              G                  D 
But my mind keeps racing back and forth so I'll just say 



G             D 
Thank you for holding my hand.  
Am                      C                  G            D      Am      C 
Kissing my boo boos and teaching me how to stand up for what I believe in 
    G             D 
And thank you for being the boss 
Am                  C                    G 
Taking control when I don't know what to do 
D               Am   C 
Remember that I love you 

Bridge 

Am    C           G        D 
And I know that I hurt you sometimes 
Am    C                        G         D 
And I know that I don't always do what's right 
Am    C                G      D 
But I want to show you that I care 
Am         C                   G     D 
So hears a song that shows you how I feel 

 

G (Once)      D (Once)

Am (Once)               C (Once)           G (Once)     D      Am      C 
Kissing my boo boos and teaching me how to stand up for what I believe in 
    G             D 
And thank you for being the boss 
Am                  C                    G 
Taking control when I don't know what to do 
D               Am C G 
Remember that I love you
