from the ground up

[G]Grandma and grandpa painted a picture

Of [Em]65 years in one little house

[C]More than a memory

 

[D]Kiss you goodnights

 

[G]Me and you baby

 

[Em]We’ll build our own family

 

10 [C]little toes

 

[D]Our beautiful baby looks just like you

 

And [G]we’ll build this love [Em]from the ground up

Now til forever it’s [C]all of me, all of you

Just take my hand and [D]I’ll

be the man your dad hoped that I’d be

[G]And we’ll build this love from [Em]the ground up

[Em]For worse or for better

[C]And I will be all you need

Beside you I’ll stand through the [D]good and the bad

[D]We’ll give all that we have

And [C]we’ll build this [D]love from the ground [G]up

 

[G]This life will go by in the blink of an eye

[Em]But I wouldn’t wanna spend it without you by my side

[C]The clouds are gonna roll

 

[D]But I’ll be your shelter

 

And [G]we’ll build this love [Em]from the ground up

Now til forever it’s [C]all of me, all of you

Just take my hand and [D]I’ll be

the man your dad hoped that I’d be

[G]And we’ll build this love from [Em]the ground up

[Em]For worse or for better

[C]And I will be all you need

Beside you I’ll stand through the [D]good and the bad

 

And [C]we’ll build this [D]love from the ground [G]up

 

[G]Someday we’ll wake up with thousands of pictures

[Em]Of 65 years in this little house

[C]I won’t trade for nothin’ this life that we built

[D]I’ll kiss you goodnight and say I love you still

 

[G]And we’ll build this love from [Em]the ground up

 

[C]And I will be all you need

Beside you I’ll stand through the [D]good and the bad

 

And [C]we’ll build this [D]love from the ground [G]up
