[Intro]
Gm F A#
Hi, Rachel, just wanted to say hi
D#Maj7 F Gm
And I hope everything's going well for you
Gm F A#
And you're have, having a good time in New York?
D#Maj7
So, sorry I missed you
F Gm
If you get a chance, sweetie, call me
[Verse 1]
Gm F A#
You were early every weekday to take me home
D#Maj7 F Gm
Your car was always the closest to Washington Road
Gm F A#
Like a blanket, I was wrapped in your arms, so warm
D#Maj7 F Gm
They say Boston's the coldest, but I wouldn't know
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm F A#
There was no falling down without you 'round to pick me up
D#Maj7 F Gm
And no tears that fell without your help to change my luck
Gm F A#
And you taught me so much, I could not learn fast enough
D#Maj7 F
About how to love someone wholeheartedly
[Chorus]
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
You soldiered storms that you never spoke of
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
Built up a world that was all about us
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch
D#Maj7
The warm, steady shake of two hands
Gm F A#
That love me too much
D#Maj7 F Gm
That love me too much
[Verse 2]
Gm F A#
You took over for your family at just 16
D#Maj7 F Gm
Putting words onto paper, working tirelessly
Gm F
You said, "Your life should just be easy, love
A#
I've worked enough for all of us
D#Maj7 F Gm
Just smile and shoot for stars above and breathe"
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm F A#
'Cause there was no falling down without you 'round to pick me up
D#Maj7 F Gm
And no tears that fell without your help to dry them up
Gm F A#
And you taught me so much, I could not learn fast enough
D#Maj7 F
About how to love someone wholeheartedly
[Chorus]
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
You soldiered storms that you never spoke of
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
Built up a world that was all about us
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch
D#Maj7
The warm, steady shake of two hands
Gm F A#
That love me too much
D#Maj7 F Gm
That love me too much
[Bridge]
Cm A#
Can I hold your, can I hold your hand forever
Gm F
And never let it go? I might never let it go
Cm A#
And can I ask you, can I ask you everything
Gm
That I ever want to know?
And, Nana, can you show me how to
[Chorus 2]
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
Soldier big storms and not ever give up?
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
And build up a world that is all about love?
D#Maj7 A# F Gm
And not close my eyes when the water gets rough?
D#Maj7
To have warm steady hands just like you
Gm F A#
That love me too much
D#Maj7 F Gm
That love me too much
Gm F A#
That I'm worthy of
D#Maj7 F Gm
That love me too much
[Outro]
Gm
That love me too much
F A#
It was so nice to see you at my party
D# F Gm
And having you sit with me, and we were so close
Gm
That I'm worthy of
F A#
And you were singing the song, I'm so excited
D#Maj7
That love me too much
So anyway, honey, I love you so much
F
Okay, now it's goodbye
