[G]
Do you remember we traipsed around From pub to pound [D] shop through Kenders Town
Only a fiver to our name The drunk on the doorstep had more to [Am] our shame
[G] Livin' over the off-heat had its trials The fights all [D] night out there and inside
And those Jews that lasted three days into four And the dreaded bailiffs returned to [Am] our door
But [C] we stuck with each other [Am] with all our might [C] We pulled it together [Am] and held on tight
And [D] I'm glad for us, yeah, [E] I'm glad McCree But [D] it's nothin' to anyone except you and [G] me
[C] There are ups [G] for every [D] ride [C] There's ups and [G] there's downs
[B]
[C] But you're the one [G] for all my [Em] life [D] My true love I've found
Yeah, you my love [G] I've found
I watched the moon cover the might of the sun The weird evening light at a [D] quarter past one
And I knew in my head as you lay in the bed That you'd stay in my heart till the day I [Am] was dead
[G] We killed each other, then loved in time And laughed [D] till we almost cried
Yeah, we cried as well when it all went to hell And my heart, it broke till I swear it [E] died
But [C] we stuck with each other [Am] with all our might [C] We pulled it together [Am] and held on tight
And [D] I'm glad for us, yeah, I'm glad McCree But it's nothin' to anyone except you and [C] me
There are ups [G] for every ride [C] There's ups and [G] there's downs
But you're the [Em] one [G] for all [Em] my life [D] My true love I've found
Yeah, you my love [G] I've found
[D]
[Bm] [D]
Oh, [G]
you're good at the things that I'm hopeless at And I [D] notice what you ignore
But it's when I see you're not perfect for me It's then I love you more and [C] more
And we stuck with each other [A] with all [Am] our might [C] We pulled it together [Am] and held real tight
And [D] I'm glad for us, I'm glad McCree But it's nothin' to anyone except you and [G] me
[C] There are ups [G] for every ride [C] There's ups [Em] and there's [E] downs
[C] But you're the one [G] for all [Em] my life [D] My true love I've found
Yeah, you my love [G] I've found
Oh,
[C] there are [G] ups for every [E] ride [C] There's ups and [G] there's [E] downs
[C] But you're the one [G] for all [Em] my life [D] My true love I've found
Yeah, you my love [G] I've found
