Introduction:GDEmC
G I met you in the dark D You lit me up Em You made me feel as though C I was enough G We danced the night away D We drank too much Em I held your hair back when C You were throwing up
G Then you smiled over your shoulder D For a minute, I was stone cold sober EmC I pulled you closer to my chest G And you asked me to stay over D I said, I already told ya EmC I think that you should get some rest
G I knew I loved you then D But you'd never know Em Cause I played it cool when I was C Scared of letting go G I know I needed you D But I never showed Em But I wanna stay with you C Until we're grey and old GD Just say you won't let go EmC Just say you won't let go
G I wake you up with some D Breakfast in bed Em I'll bring you coffee with C a kiss on your head G And I'll take the kids to school D Wave them goodbye Em And I'll thank my lucky stars C for that night
G When you looked over your shoulder D For a minute, I forget that I'm older EmC I wanna dance with you right now, oh G And you look as beautiful as ever D And I swear that everyday you'll get better EmC You make me feel this way somehow
G I'm so in love with you D And I hope you know Em Darling your love is more than C Worth its weight in gold G We've come so far my dear D Look how we've grown Em And I wanna stay with you C Until we're grey and old GD Just say you won't let go EmC Just say you won't let go
G I wanna live with you D Even when we're ghosts Em Cause you were always there for me C When I needed you most
G I'm gonna love you till D My lungs give out Em I promise till death we part C Like in our vows G So I wrote this song for you D Now everybody knows Em That it's just you and me C Until we're grey and old
GD Just say you won't let go EmC Just say you won't let go GD Just say you won't let go EmC Oh, just say you won't let go G (end on single strum)
