D         F#m        Bm
can't remember when you weren't there

When I didn't care for any one but you

I swear. We've been through everything there is
          D         G

Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years you've never let me down

You've turned my life around

The sweetest thing I've found I've found in you.

Through the years I've never been afraid

I can't remember what I used to Do

Who I trusted, who I listened to before.

I swear. You've taught me everything I know

Can't imagine needing someone so

But through the years it seems to me 
    A A7
I need you more and more 
Chorus 
       D         F#m            G    Em
Through the years, through all the good and bad

I know how much we've had

I've always been so glad to be with you
       F#m       Bm           G        Em
Through the years, it's better every day 
       F#m
You've kissed my tears away
  Bm          G              Em    G
As long as it's okay I'll stay with you
A  D A7
Through the years
Chorus
       D        F#m         G    Em
Through the years, when everything 
       F#m
Went wrong, together we were strong
  Bm        G               A  A7
I know that I belong right here with you 
       F#m     Bm         G        Em
Through the years, I never had a doubt
        F#m
We'd always work things out
     Bm             G           Em    G     A
I've learned what life's about, by loving you
 D
