[Verse 1]
Amaj7               G#m7                F#m7      Emaj7
I would never let a tear fall from your eyes, no, no, no, no
D#dim7  G#7            C#m7
 'Cause everything you are to me
Bm7   E         Amaj7
   Oooh, I could never let you hurt inside
                           G#m7
You mean so much and I'm so thankful that you're in my life
F#m7                 Emaj7
And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice
D#dim7       G#7        C#m7
 Without you by my side, I never could survive
Bm7        E           Amaj7
I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes


[Pre-Chorus]
                          G#m7
You taught me strength and you gave me guidance
F#m7                     Emaj7
 Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it
D#dim7    G#7             C#m7
And all because a mother's love is unconditional
Bm7         E                Amaj7
With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know


[Chorus]
Amaj7
 That I thank you (I thank you)
G#m7
 And I love you (I love you)
F#m7                    Emaj7  F#m7  G#m7
 And I would never place anyone above you
Amaj7
 Said I thank you (I thank you)
G#m7
 And I love you (I love you)
F#m7                   Emaj7        F#m7  G#m7
 And I would never ever place no one above you
Amaj7               G#m7                         D#dim7
You have given me life and I just want you to know
               G#7           C#m7
That you're the reason I'm here today, I will never let go
E
To everything that we share and nothing can compare
  B                                                               Amaj7
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, it's what I'm saying, yeah-yeah

                            G#m7                 F#m7       Emaj7
See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong, mhm-mhmm
D#dim7    G#7         C#m7
   'Cause even when I did things wrong
Bm7         E               Amaj7
  You would show me just the way that I should carry on
                            G#m7
You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had
F#m7                  Emaj7
 And any time I was in need you gave your very last
D#dim7      G#7        C#m7
Without you by my side, I never could survive
Bm7        E           Amaj7
I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes


[Pre-Chorus]
                          G#m7
You taught me strength and you gave me guidance
F#m7                     Emaj7
 Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it
D#dim7     G#7              C#m7
 And all because a mother's love is unconditional
Bm7          E               Amaj7
 With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know


[Chorus]
Amaj7
 That I thank you (I thank you)
G#m7
 And I love you (I love you)
F#m7                    Emaj7  F#m7  G#m7
 And I would never place anyone above you
Amaj7

 And I would never place anyone above you
Amaj7               G#m7                         D#dim7
You have given me life and I just want you to know
               G#7          C#m7
That you're the reason I'm here today, I will never let go

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, it's what I'm saying, yeah


[Bridge]
Amaj7            G#m7
I remember wakin' up early Monday morning
F#m7                        Emaj7
With my new dress and my new shoes, with the buckles on 'em
Amaj7                     G#m7
And you would kiss my face, and say "I love you, babe"
F#m7                           Emaj7
And you would be right there to take all of my fear away
Amaj7                     G#m7
And when he broke my heart, you said it was his lost
F#m7                     Emaj7
And not to think about it, "You're better off without him"
D#dim7   G#7                 C#m7
Remember when they said that I was never gonna make it?
Bm7            E                 Amaj7
You said "it's yours, and all you gotta do is go and take it"


[Chorus]
Amaj7
Said I thank you (I thank you)
G#m7
And I love you (I love you)
F#m7                  Emaj7        F#m7  G#m7
And I would never ever place no one above you
Amaj7
Said I thank you (I thank you)
G#m7
And I love you (I love you)
F#m7                  Emaj7        F#m7  G#m7
And I would never ever place no one above you
Amaj7                    G#m7                         D#dim7
See, you have given me life and I just want you to know
               G#7            C#m7
That you're the reason I'm here today, I will never let go
E                           B
To everything that we share and nothing can compare

Amaj7
Said I thank you (I thank you)
G#m7
And I love you (I love you)
F#m7                  Emaj7        F#m7  G#m7
And I would never ever place no one above you
Amaj7
Said I thank you (I thank you)
G#m7
And yes, I love you (I love you)
F#m7                  Emaj7        F#m7  G#m7
And I would never ever place no one above you
Amaj7                    G#m7                         D#dim7
See, you have given me life and I just want you to know
                G#7          C#m7
That you're the reason I'm here today, I will never let go
E
To everything that we share and nothing can compare
  B                                                       Amaj7
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, it's what I'm sayin'


[Outro]
  G#m7    F#m7                 Emaj7
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
               Amaj7
Yeah, yeah, yeah
G#m7   F#m7
 Ooooh
Emaj7   Amaj7
