A/C# D  A       D/F# G
Take me back to the  beginning
A/C# D        A        D/F#     G
When love was patient, love was kind,
A/C#
Back to the place we first started
A/C#    D          A        D/F#       G
When we weren't so proud to change our minds.


A/C#     D  A         D/F#     G
And take me back when love was selfless
A/C# D         A         D/F#       Em
When touch was passionate and sweet
A/C#    D            A       D/F#            G
When we weren't just getting what we wanted
A/C# D                 A  D/F#     G
But we gave ourselves so willingly


       D                       G
I love you. I promise I always will.
       D                       G
I love you. I promise I always will.


A/C# D  A       D/F#         G
Take me back to the beginning
A/C# D       A         D/F#       Em
When I would look you in the eye.
A/C#  D           A          D/F#         G
There was no such thing as a cold shoulder
A/C#   D      A          D/F#           Em
And we lived within your hands and mine.

      D                                 G
And I love you. I promise I always will.
  D                                 G
I love you. I promise I always will.
      Bm         A                D/F#      G  Em
And I chose you. Forever I choose you still.
          D                                    G
‘Cause I love you, and I promise I always will.


A/C#   D  A             D/F# G
Before we burn down all our  bridges
A/C#  D    A              D/F#  G
Let’s look awhile at what we've built.
A/C#       D     A         D/F#        G
We'll take turns asking for forgiveness
A/C#  D         A         D/F#         G
And   watch our love grow deeper still
