Verse 1  

   
  (G)            (F#m7)    (B7)     (Em7)  
I can't remember when you weren't there,  
(Dm7)   (G7)  (Cmaj7)      (D7)    (Bm7)     (D)  
When I didn't care for any one but you.   
   (G)                      (F#m7)    (B7)     (Em7)  
I swear  we've been through everything there is,   
              (Dm7)   (G7)       (Cmaj7)  
Can't imagine anything we've missed,  
              (G)          (Am7)           (D11)  
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do.

Through the years you've never let me down, you've turned my life around,  
                        (Am7)                (D)  
The sweetest thing I've found  I've found in you.

And I'm so glad I've stayed right here   with   you    through the years.  

   

Verse 2  

   
  (G)            (F#m7)  (B7)   (Em7)  
I can't remember what I used to Do,  
(Dm7)   (G7)  (Cmaj7)      (D7)        (Bm7)     (D)  
Who I trusted, who       I listened to before.  
   (G)                   (F#m7)    (B7)   (Em7)  
I swear you've taught me everything I   know   
              (Dm7)   (G7)     (Cmaj7)  
can't imagine needing someone so,  
                         (G)          (Am7)           (D11)  
But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more.
