Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

x16 for intro, x4 per line in chorus

x16 per line of lyrics

in the verses.

So that's what's played in the intro and the verses, and overtop of the chords in

the chorus. I also wrote in the chords for the verses if you don't want to deal

with the different parts (which are played at the same time)/multiple guitars.

Verse 1

I choked back tears today, cuz I can't begin to say

how much you've shaped this boy, these last ten years or more.

My friends we've seen it all, triumphs to drunken falls,

and our bones are broken still, but our hearts are joined until...

Time slips its tired hand, into our tired hands.

We've years till that day, I've so much more to say....

Chorus

You give the strength to me, a strength I never had.

I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad.

You drag me up and out, out of the darkest place.

There's not a single doubt, when I can see your faces...

Verse 2

my friends we've seen it all, when it made no sense at all.

You dared to light my path, and found the beauty in the aftermath.

let me hold you up, like you held me up.

Its too long to never say this, you must know i've always thought...

Chorus

You give the strength to me, a strength I never had.

I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad.

You drag me up and out, out of the darkest place.

There's not a single doubt, when I can see your faces...

You give the strength to me, a strength I never had.

I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad.

You drag me up and out, out of the darkest place.

There's not a single doubt, when I can see your faces.
