Verse 1: 
C5          E5        A5            A5 
He can't remember the times that he thought 
F5             C5      F5        G5 
does my daddy love me, probably not 
C5               E5           A5              A5 
but that didn't stop him from wishing that he did 
       F5             C5        F5            G5   G5 
didn't keep him from wanting or worshipping him 
 
Verse 2: 
C5             E5            A5     A5 
He guesses he saw him , 'bout once a year 
         F5              C5         F5           G5 
He could still feel the way he felt standing in tears 
C5              E5         A5            A5 
stretching his arms out as far as they'd go 
F5          C5    F5           G5 ... 
whispering dad, I want you to know 
 

.. G5             F5                        C5                 
I love you this much, and I'm waiting on you 
                F5                    G5 
to make up your mind, do you love me too 
... G5            F5                       C5 
how ever long it takes, I'm never giving up 
          D5    C5    F5    
no matter what,              
  G5             C5       C5  C5  C5  F5  G5   G5 
I love you this much  
 
Verse 3: 
C5          E5          A5          A5 
He grew to hate him for what he had done 
      F5            C5          F5              G5 
cause what kind of father could do that to his son 
C5        E5           A5                A5 
He said, damn you daddy, the day that he died 
    F5          C5            F5           G5 
the man didn't blink, but the little boy cried 
 
Chorus: ....
G5 
Bridge: 
F5                                      C5 
Halfway through the service, while the choir sang a hymn 
   Bb5 
He looked up above the preacher,  
       G5              G5       G5    G.... 
and he sat and stared at him 
 
Verse 4: 
....     C5          E5          A5    A5 
He said, Forgive me Father, when he realized, 
        F5             C5        F5            G5 
that he hadn't been unloved, or alone all his life 
C5             E5               A5             A5 
His arms were stretched out, as far as they'ed go  
F5             C5           F5              G5 
Nailed to the cross for the whole world to know 


..G5         F5                        C5 
I love this much, and I'm waiting on you, 
                F5                    G5 
to make up your mind, do you love me too 
....G5            F5                       C5 
how ever long it takes, I'm never giving up 
          D5    C5     F5 
no matter what, 
  G5             C5       C5   C5   C5   F5   G5   G5   C5 
I Love You This Much
