[G] [Bm] [E] [Em] [Dm] [C]
[Bm] [Am] [C]
[G] When [Bm] was the last time [Em] that they heard [G] you say,
[C] [Bm] Mother [Am] or [C] Father I love you?
[G] And when [Bm] was the last time [Em] that they heard [G] you say,
[C] [G] Daughter or [C] son I love you?
[Em] Once you [G] say you cherish every day
[C] And [B] instantly be taken away
[E] Then you [C#m] say I know this can't be true
[Am] When you never took the time
To [C] simply tell them I love you
[G] [Bm] When was the last time [Em] that they heard [G] you say,
[C] [Bm] Sister [Am] or brother I love you?
[G] And [Bm] when was the last time [Em] that they heard [G] you say,
[C] [G] Darling or [Am] best friend I [C] love you?
[Em] The one for [G] whom you give your very [C] life
Could be taken [B] in the twinkling of an eye
[E] Through your [C#m] tears you'd ask why did you go
[Am] Knowing you didn't always show
Just how [C] much you love them so
[Bm] These three [D] words, [G] sweet [C] and simple

I know a family [Am] who hasn't a sin to their name
[C#m] And yet the joy [F#] and love they had [Bm] between them
They always claimed
[Em] And when one's carved from [A] life to survive on [D] the lost
It will never [Bm] be the same
Yet [Em] they rejoice in [A] knowing they gave [C] them their all
