Capo 3nd Fret

G D Am C G D Am C

G                  D
You've stood by my side 
Am                  C
Tear stung eyes and late nights
G                 D          Am     C
And I've wondered why you've stayed there
G                  D
And you've held my hand 
Am                         C
When fears struck me and I couldn't stand
G        D  Am      C
Now I stand taller, stronger
C             Am                G              D
And I want to find the words to tell you how I feel
C                 Am              G                  D
But my mind keeps racing back and forth so I'll just say

[Chorus]

G             D
Thank you for holding my hand. 
Am                      C                  G            D      Am      C
Kissing my boo boos and teaching me how to stand up for what I believe in
    G             D
And thank you for being the boss
Am                  C                    G
Taking control when I don't know what to do
D               Am   C
Remember that I love you

G D Am C

[2nd verse]

G              D
Your kids have grown
Am                 C                       G
Some left home and some have kids of their own
D             Am    C
But you never leave them
G                 D
And you've taught us 
       Am              C
How to live our lives, do what's right
C             Am                G              D
And I want to find the words to tell you how I feel
C                 Am              G                  D
But my mind keeps racing back and forth so I'll just say

[Chorus]

G             D
Thank you for holding my hand. 
Am                      C                  G            D      Am      C
Kissing my boo boos and teaching me how to stand up for what I believe in
    G             D
And thank you for being the boss
Am                  C                    G
Taking control when I don't know what to do
D               Am   C
Remember that I love you

[Bridge]

Am    C           G        D
And I know that I hurt you sometimes
Am    C                        G         D
And I know that I don't always do what's right
Am    C                G      D
But I want to show you that I care
Am         C                   G     D
So hears a song that shows you how I feel

[Chorus]

G (Once)      D (Once)
Thank you for holding my hand. 
Am (Once)               C (Once)           G (Once)     D      Am      C
Kissing my boo boos and teaching me how to stand up for what I believe in
    G             D
And thank you for being the boss
Am                  C                    G
Taking control when I don't know what to do
D               Am C G
Remember that I love you
