Esus2 Am Esus2
A E Bsus2
If I ever write the story of my life
A E
Don’t be surprised if you’re where it begins
E Bsus2
Girl, I’d have to dedicate every line on every page
C Esus4
To the memories we made, while you loved me
E A Bsus2
I was born the day you kissed me
E A Bsus2
And I died inside the night you left me
C#m D A
But I lived, oh how I lived
E Am Esus2
While you loved me
A E Bsus2
I’d start with chapter one, love innocent and young
A E
As the morning sun on a new day
E Bsus2
Even though I know the end, well I’d do it all again
C Esus4
‘Cause I got a lifetime in, while you loved me
E A Bsus2
I was born the day you kissed me
E A Bsus2
And I died inside the night you left me
C#m D A
But I live, oh how I live
E
While you loved me
