Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 THERE WERE NIGHTS WHERE I WAS SURE

I WOULDN'T SEE THE MORNING SUN

 AND THERE WERE DAYS THAT SEEMED SO DARK

 I COULDN'T WAIT FOR NIGHT TO COME

 I COULDN'T STAND TO THINK ABOUT HOW

MY LIFE USED TO BE

 AND HOW WITHOUT A SINGLE WARNING

 IT ALL SLIPPED AWAY FROM ME

 PIANO:

 LIKE A FOOL I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FIGHT

THE SHADOWS ON MY OWN

 TO THE DARK I WAS NO STRANGER

 THIS WAS STRONGER THAN I'D KNOWN

 BY THE TIME I KNEW THAT I WAS IN TOO DEEP

I'D GONE TOO FAR

 AND THE LIGHT THAT USED TO GUIDE ME

 HAD FADED FROM MY HEART

 AND I FOUND MYSELF IN PLACES

 I THOUGHT I'D NEVER GO

SURROUNDED BY STRANGERS

 I WAS SO FAR FROM HOME

 AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FOUND ME

 ALL I KNOW IS I OWE EVERYTHING TO YOU

YES I DO

Chorus

 AND I THANK YOU FOR MY HEART

I THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE

 AND I THANK GOD FOR GRACE AND MERCY

 AND THAT YOU BECAME MY WIFE

 I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME

THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON

 BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER

 OF THIS LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU

 AND I THANK YOU, I THANK YOU

 NOW PEOPLE SAY THEY'LL STAND BESIDE YOU

THEY'LL SWEAR THEY'LL NEVER LEAVE

 WHEN THE RAIN STARTED FALLING

 YOU KNOW IT ONLY FELL ON ME

 IT WAS HARD TO KEEP BELIEVING IN MYSELF

WHEN ALL I FELT

 WAS SO MUCH PAIN AND GUILT AND SHAME

 I COULDN'T EVEN ASK FOR HELP

 I DON'T KNOW IF I BELIEVE IN OTHER LIVES

BUT WHEN YOU CAME

 THERE WAS SOMETHING SO FAMILIAR

 ABOUT THE WAY YOU SAID MY NAME

 AND THE WHOLE WORLD STARTED TURNING

 AND I SWEAR THAT I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN

BRAND NEW

AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

Chorus

 AND I THANK YOU FOR MY HEART

I THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE

 AND I THANK GOD FOR GRACE AND MERCY

 AND THAT YOU BECAME MY WIFE

 I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME

THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON

 BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER

 OF THIS LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU

 AND I THANK YOU, OOOH, OOOH-OH

 AND I'VE SEEN SO MANY THINGS

 THAT I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN

 BUT THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES IS HOW

 WITH YOUR LOVE I WAS SAVED

Chorus

NO CHORDS UNTIL...

 I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME

THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON

 BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER

 OF ALL THIS LOVE I GIVE TO YOU

 AND I THANK YOU FOR MY HEART

I THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE

 I THANK GOD FOR GRACE AND MERCY

 THAT YOU BECAME MY WIFE

 THE DAY I STARTED BREATHING

IS THE DAY YOU TOOK MY HAND

 AND UNTIL THE DAY I DIE

 BABY I'LL FOREVER BE YOUR MAN

 AND I THANK YOU, I THANK YOU
