E F#m A B

[Verse 1]
               E                                                F#m
If you were so kind                             To light up my life 
                   A                               B
You're the reason why           I don' t sleep at night 
                E                                  F#m
When the day comes              that I leave these earth 
                A                                  B                                F#m         B
Will you be there       Will you you carry my hurt                         Carry my hurt 

[Verse 2]
                E                                         F#m
You were my guide                       who showed me the way 
                    A                   B
Like birds with a seed          flying away 
          E                             F#m
finding a home         and one place to stay 
                      A                                 B                         F#m
You give me this confident               All of your days             All of your days

[Chorus]
           E                                     G#m
You were there for me                   in every way 
              F#m                                          B
A shoulder to cry on                    The bright things to say 
              E                                 G#m
You were there for me                  in every way 
                F#m                                     B            F#m
Laughing and talking                    Those were the days

E F#m A B 2x

[Verse 3]
             E                             F#m
You were my sun                 Lit up my sky   
                    A                               B
Like flowers need sunshine              You're my summertime 
            E                          F#m                          A
So when I know          that you’ll be there            Waiting for me 
                   B                              F#m   
When the end is near               I ‘ll have no fear 

[Chorus]
                 E                              G#m
Cause you were   there for me          in every way
                F#m                                  B
A shoulder to cry on            and Bright things to say 
              E                         G#m
You were there for me          In every way 
                F#m                                 B
Laughing and talking                    Those were the days
