C                               G 
When you were born you were not alone 
                            F 
Nothing was carved into the stone quite yet, but don't forget 
    C                    G                     C 
You heard someone say it won't get better than this 
C                                    G 
That was the sound of your father 
G                                   F 
As he held you up to your mother 
F 
No one will ever know,  
  C                  G                       C 
a love a pure as the one that you felt right then 

C              G                Dm 
They held you up, they held you up 
    C                   G 
And everybody else they fell to the wayside 
C 
This is the start the beginning 
G 
The prologue to the tale that you're spinning 
Dm                      C                      G 
A million synonyms will never come close to describe the feeling 

F F F            C C C               G G G 
      Don't ever leave, cause if you do dear 
        Am                 F 
I guarantee that you'll regret the day you did 
                C 
and you'll miss all the simple things 
                G 
And you'll see everything you've ever loved 
                                           Am 
start fading till there's nothing left oh
