Every Minute Chords by Sara Groves

_ [Gm] I am [C] long on staying, [Am] I am slow [Gm] to leave
[Bb] Especially [F] when it comes to you, my friend
[Bb] You have taught [F] me to [C] slow down and to prop [F] up [Bb] my feet
It's a fine [F] art of [C] being who I [Gm] am
_ _ And I can't [Dm] figure [F] out why you want [Bb] me [F] around
I'm not the smartest [C] person I have ever [G] met
[Gm] _ But somehow that [Dm] doesn't matter
[Am] No, it never [Bb] really mattered to you at [Fm] all
[C] _ [Dm] And at the risk [Am] of wearing [Bb] out my welcome
At _ [Dm] the risk of self [Gm] _ [Dm]-discovery
[C] _ [Dm] I'll take every moment [Bb] and [C] every minute [Dm] that you give [F] me
[Bb] And [F] _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bbm] _
[F] _ [C] _ [Bb] [F] I can think of a [C] time when families all [Bb] lived together
_ [F] Four [C] generations [Gm] in one [F]
house
[Bb] The table [C] was full of good [F] food and [Bb] friends and neighbors
That's [C] not how we like it [Gm] [Am] now
[F] _ [Bb] _ [Gm] _ So if you sit at [F] home you're a loser
Couldn't you [Bb] find anything [F] better to [C] do?
_ [Gm] _ Well, no, I couldn't [F] think of one thing
I would rather [Bb] waste my time on than sitting [C] here with you
[Dm] And at the risk [Am] of wearing [Bb] out my welcome
[Dm] At the risk of [Gm] self _ [D]-discovery
[C] _ [Dm] I'll take every [Am] [Bb] moment and [C] every minute [Dm] that you give _ [F] me
[Bb] _ _
[A] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] And [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
[G] _ [C] [Bb] I wish all the [C] people I love the [F] most
Could gather [Bb] in one place
And know each [G] other and [C] love each [F] other well
[Bb] And I wish we could [C] all go camping
[F] And lay beneath [Bb] the stars
And have nothing to [C] do and stories [F] to tell
[Bb] We'd [F] _ [Gm] _ _ sit [Am] around the campfire
And we'd make each [Bb] other laugh _ [F] Remembering when
[C] And _ [Gm] _ you're the first one [Am] I'm invited
Always [Bb] know that you're invited, my [C] friend
_ [Dm] And at the risk [F] of wearing _ [Bb] out my welcome
[C] [Dm] At the risk of [Gm] self [F]-discovery _
[C] _ [Dm] I'll take every [Bb] moment and [C] every minute [Dm] that you give me
[F] Every _ [Bb] moment and every [C] minute [Dm] that you give me
[F] Every _ [Bb] moment and every [C] minute [Dm] that you give [F] me _ [Bb] Every minute
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [C] _ _ [F] _
