INTRO: A F#m E A F#m E

           A
THERE WERE NIGHTS WHERE I WAS SURE 

I WOULDN'T SEE THE MORNING SUN
               F#m
AND THERE WERE DAYS THAT SEEMED SO DARK
           E
I COULDN'T WAIT FOR NIGHT TO COME
           A
I COULDN'T STAND TO THINK ABOUT HOW

MY LIFE USED TO BE
        F#m
AND HOW WITHOUT A SINGLE WARNING
       E
IT ALL SLIPPED AWAY FROM ME

PIANO: A F#m E

       A
LIKE A FOOL I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FIGHT

THE SHADOWS ON MY OWN
       F#m
TO THE DARK I WAS NO STRANGER
         E
THIS WAS STRONGER THAN I'D KNOWN
       A
BY THE TIME I KNEW THAT I WAS IN TOO DEEP 

I'D GONE TOO FAR
        F#m
AND THE LIGHT THAT USED TO GUIDE ME
    E
HAD FADED FROM MY HEART
      D
AND I FOUND MYSELF IN PLACES
  E
I THOUGHT I'D NEVER GO
D
SURROUNDED BY STRANGERS
         E
I WAS SO FAR FROM HOME
      D
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FOUND ME
      D             B             E
ALL I KNOW IS I OWE EVERYTHING TO YOU

YES I DO

CHORUS:
      A
AND I THANK YOU FOR MY HEART

I THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE
            F#m
AND I THANK GOD FOR GRACE AND MERCY
         E
AND THAT YOU BECAME MY WIFE
    A
I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME
    
THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON
                F#m
BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER
        E 
OF THIS LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU
      A                      F#m E
AND I THANK YOU, I THANK YOU

           A
NOW PEOPLE SAY THEY'LL STAND BESIDE YOU

THEY'LL SWEAR THEY'LL NEVER LEAVE
         F#m
WHEN THE RAIN STARTED FALLING
    E
YOU KNOW IT ONLY FELL ON ME
       A
IT WAS HARD TO KEEP BELIEVING IN MYSELF

WHEN ALL I FELT
            F#m
WAS SO MUCH PAIN AND GUILT AND SHAME
           E
I COULDN'T EVEN ASK FOR HELP
        D                          E
I DON'T KNOW IF I BELIEVE IN OTHER LIVES

BUT WHEN YOU CAME
          D
THERE WAS SOMETHING SO FAMILIAR 
          E
ABOUT THE WAY YOU SAID MY NAME
        D
AND THE WHOLE WORLD STARTED TURNING
      B
AND I SWEAR THAT I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN
E
BRAND NEW

AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

CHORUS:
      A
AND I THANK YOU FOR MY HEART

I THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE
            F#m
AND I THANK GOD FOR GRACE AND MERCY
         E
AND THAT YOU BECAME MY WIFE
    A
I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME
    
THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON
                F#m
BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER
        E 
OF THIS LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU
      F#m        D E     F#m
AND I THANK YOU,   OOOH, OOOH-OH
         Bm
AND I'VE SEEN SO MANY THINGS
       C#m
THAT I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN
        D
BUT THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLES IS HOW
     E
WITH YOUR LOVE I WAS SAVED

CHORUS: NO CHORDS UNTIL...

    A
I'M SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME
    
THE SUN, THE STARS, AND MOON
                F#m
BUT THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON THE POWER
            E 
OF ALL THIS LOVE I GIVE TO YOU
      A                     
AND I THANK YOU FOR MY HEART

I THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE

        F#m
I THANK GOD FOR GRACE AND MERCY
         E
THAT YOU BECAME MY WIFE
    A
THE DAY I STARTED BREATHING
    
IS THE DAY YOU TOOK MY HAND
              F#m
AND UNTIL THE DAY I DIE 
          E
BABY I'LL FOREVER BE YOUR MAN
      A                      
AND I THANK YOU, I THANK YOU

F#m E A F#m E A
