[Intro]
Em   G      D          Am
   Always, always and forever
Em   G      D          Am
   Always, always and forever
 
[Verse 1]
    Em
I'm sitting here, I'm thinking back
G                              D                 Am
to a time when I was young, my memory is clear as day
    Em
I'm listening to the dishes clink
G                              D             Am
you were downstairs, you would sing songs of praise
    Em
And all the times we laughed with you
    G                                       D
And all the times that you stayed true to us
       Am
Now we say
 
[Chorus]
          Em                     G
I said, I thank you, I'll always thank you
D                              Am
More than you could know, than I could ever show
      Em                    G
And I love you, I'll always love you
        D                     Am
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
            C            Gadd9
That you're beautiful forever
Em   G      D          Am
   Always, always and forever
 
[Verse 2]
    Em
You were my mom, you were my dad
    G                         D                Am
the only thing I ever had was you, It's true
    Em
And even when the times got hard
G                        D                 Am
you were there to let us know that we'd get through
    Em
you showed me how to be a man
    G                               D            Am
you taught me how to understand the things people do
    Em
You showed me how to love my God
    G                        D           Am
You taught me that not everyone knows the truth
 
[Chorus]
      Em                     G
And I thank you, I'll always thank you
D                              Am
More than you could know, than I could ever show,
      Em                    G
And I love you, I'll always love you
        D                     Am
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
     C                Gadd9
That you will live forever
Em  G
   D        Am
Forever and ever
 
[Bridge]
Dm  G
      D       Am
Forever and ever
         Em                     G
I said I thank you, I'll always thank you
D                              Am
More than you could know, than I could ever show,
      Em                    G
And I love you, I'll always love you
        D                     Am
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
 
[Chorus/Outro]
      Em                     G
And I thank you, I'll always thank you
D                              Am
More than you could know, than I could ever show,
      Em                    G
And I love you, I'll always love you
        D                     Am
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
     C                Gadd9 D
That you will live forever
