Intro: Bb Eb
verse 1
Bb
Mom and dad told me
Eb
When you were on the way
Gm F Eb
They wouldn't love me any less
Bb
Well I didn't believe them
Eb
I thought you'd take my place
Gm F Eb
I didn't know a best friend is what I'd get
Pre-Chorus
F
Through the years I'd make mistakes
Eb
So you wouldn't have to make them
F
I took chances every day
Eb
So you'd know when to take them
Bb
You can follow my footprints
Eb
But you don't have to fill my shoes
Gm F
It's just a path for you to follow
Eb
If you so choose
Bb
You can take the road less travelled
Eb
Yeah, I'd probably do that too
Gm F
But if you're lost and feeling broken
Eb
Through and through
Bb F Bb
You can follow the footprints I left for you
Eb

I know it wasn't easy

Swore we'd never speak again

Know deep down that I loved you even then

Through the years I'd make mistakes
