[Intro]
D2 D Dsus D D2 D
 
[Verse 1]
          Em                   D   D2 D
It takes a lot to know what is love
             Em
It's not the big things, but the little things
         F#m
That can mean enough
         Em                D       D2 D
A lot of prayers to get me through
             Em
And there is never a day that passes by
        F#m
I don't think of you
         G      A         D
You were always there for me
Em             G
Pushing me and guiding me
F#m       A
Always to succeed
 
[Chorus]
    D
You showed me
           G                 A
When I was young just how to grow
    D
You showed me
     G                   A
Everything that I should know
    D
You showed me
            G                 A
Just how to walk without your hands
      G              A
Cause mom you always were
            D   D2 D Dsus D D2 D
The perfect fan
 
[Verse 2]
G       A       D    D2 D
God has been so good
Em                 A
Blessing me with a family
        F#m
Who did all they could
             G    A        D
And I've had many years of grace
       Em          A                  F#m
And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face
        G             A           D
I wanna thank you for what you've done
   Em
In hopes I can give back to you
    G              A
And be the perfect son
 
[Chorus]
    D
You showed me
           G                 A
When I was young just how to grow
    D
You showed me
     G                   A
Everything that I should know
    D
You showed me
            G                 A
Just how to walk without your hands
      G              A
Cause mom you always were
            D   D2 D Dsus D D2 D
The perfect fan
 
[Bridge]
    Bm        A              D             G
You showed me how to love,  ( You showed me how to love)
    Bm               A
You showed me how to care
        Bm        A
And you showed me that you would
D         Bm
Always be there
        Em                 A
I wanna thank you for that time
G                           Ab
And I'm proud to say you're mine
