Tom: G

Intro: G - C - G - C

[Verse 1]
G                      C
Thank you for this moment
       G                            C
I've gotta say how beautiful you are
    Em                                   C
Of all the hopes and dreams I could've prayed for
           D
Here you are
               G                 C
If I could have one dance forever
          G              C
I would take you by the hand
  Em                      C
Tonight it's you and I together
      Em                 D
I'm so glad I'm your man

[Chorus]
            G
And if I lived a thousand years
                      C
You know I never could explain
        G                        C
The way I lost my heart to you that day
      G                   C               Em
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
         C         
Then the world would never know
                            Em
The greatest story ever told
         C                  D             G
And did I tell you that I love you tonight?

[Verse 2]
G                    C
I don't hear the music
          G                  C
When I'm lookin' in your eyes
    Em                       C
But I feel the rhythm of your body
              D
Close to mine
        G                    C
It's the way we touch that sends me
        G                C
It's the way we'll always be
    Em                      C
Your kiss, your pretty smile, you know I'd die for
     Em                   D
Oh baby, you're all I need

[Chorus 2]
           G
And if I lived a thousand years
                     C
You know I never could explain
         G                      C
The way I lost my heart to you that day
     G                      C                     Em
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
        C  
Then the world would never know
                            Em
The greatest story ever told
         C                 D
And did I tell you that I love you?
              Em                
Just how much I really need you?
     C                 D               Em  D  C  D  C  D   Em  D  C  D
Did I tell you that I love you tonight? Tonight...
       G          
And if I lived a thousand years
                    C
You know I never could explain
          G                      C

Did I tell you that I love you tonight?
