[Verse 1]

When I wake up to your footsteps

Dmaj7

As you get up out of bed

They make a song that sounds so simple

G A

Yeah it dances in my head

A melody so perfect

Dmaj7

That it gets me through the day

And the thought of us forever

G A

Is one that won't ever go away

[Pre-Chorus]

All I need to know is

Where to start

Take my hand and show me forever

Em A

So never will I ever let you go

[Verse 2]

So let's hold on together

Dmaj7

To this paper and this pen

And we'll write down every letter

G A

To every word we ever said

[Pre-Chorus]

All I need to know is

Where to start

Take my hand and show me forever

Em A

So never will I ever let you go

[Chorus]

Let's write our story

And let's sing our song

F# Bm

Let's hang our pictures on the wall

All these precious moments

That we carved in stone

F# Bm

Are only memories after all

Gm D

Memories after all

Gm D

Memories after all

[Bridge]

You gave me all

But I've got to let go

A Bm

I've got to let go

It's taking its toll

Deep in my soul

Now I've got to let go

[Outro]

We wrote our story

And we sang our song

F# Bm

We hung our pictures on the wall

All those precious moments

That we carved in stone

F# Bm

Are all the memories after all
