Still reC9sus2member those eDm7arly days
Was it C9sus2some kind of hDm7igh
We were C9sus2counting the cDm7ars away
Found your C9sus2head upon my sDm7ide

DisbeGmlief
In what would bGme
But we held oGmn
To what we feGmel
[Chorus]
Lives have grown Ebmaj7roots around each Dm7other
We both know the Ebmaj7truth is, we don't really Bbcare
To find any Ebmaj7room to doubt each Dm7other
We’re tied by the Ebmaj7roots of whatever we shBbare
