Capo 3rd Fret for same key as Eric Church
Cadd9 D G
I remember waiting by the curb with Mr. Murphy
Cadd9 D G
When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red
Cadd9 D Em7
We drove to the hospital in a hurry
Cadd9 D
Where my family gathered 'round my grandpa's bed
Cadd9
He was my best friend
G
He taught me how to fish
G D Cadd9
And I cried listening to my daddy pray
Cadd9 D G
For one of those I've loved along the way
Cadd9 D G
She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her
Cadd9 D G
That whole next year we couldn't get enough
Cadd9 D Em
After graduation she took off for Denver
Cadd9 D
And for a while we both tried to keep in touch
Cadd9
She was my best friend
G
And it broke my heart
G D Cadd9
But I don't regret the day that she became
Cadd9 D G
One of those I've loved along the way
D
And I hope they know
Cadd9 D
I never would've made it this far on my own
Cadd9
Cause where would we all be without those
G D
Fathers and mothers
Em7 G
Sisters and brothers
Cadd9
Friends I've made
Em7 D
Long lost lovers
Cadd9 D Em
I wouldn't be who I am today
Cadd9 D Em
If not for those I've loved along the way
Em - Cadd9 - Em - D
Cadd9 D G
Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar
Cadd9 D G
Looking back down this old road I've been traveling on
Cadd9 D Em
It was never about trying to be some big star
Cadd9 D
For me it's always been about these songs
Cadd9
See they're my best friends
G
They're the life I lead
G D Cadd9
And I hope they've put a smile on the face
Cadd9 D Em
Of those I've loved along the way
Cadd9 D G
Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today
Cadd9 D Em
If not for those I've loved along the way.
