I saw where somebody had requested this song.
It is played just like Keith’s version except with a
capo on the 2nd fret….just some of the words are
different. Please comment.

Capo 2

Intro: E, E, G#m7, A

Verse 1:
I’m gonna be here for you baby
I’ll Be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I want to sleep with you forever
I want to die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

Chorus 1:
Now that I found you
I want to surround you
I’ll win your trust making memories of us

Verse 2:
I wanna honor your mother
And I wanna learn from your paw
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw

I want to stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I want to make your world better than it’s ever been

Chorus 2:
I want to know you like nobody knows you
I’ll win your trust making memories of us

Solo

Verse 3:
I’m gonna be here for you from now on
This you’ll know somehow
You’ve been stretched to the limits but it’s alright now

I’m gonna make you a promise
If there’s life after this
I’m gonna be there to meet you with a warm wet kiss

Chorus 3:
Cause I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
I’ll win your trust making memories of us

I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
I’ll earn your trust making memories of us

INTRO

[G(add9)]Stack of bills on the kitchen table,

Out go the lights and off goes the cable.
If she don’t pay em by the 15th,
Then it don’t look like she’s gonna be able.
[G(add9)] Two mouths to feed, two jobs barely get it done,

A lot on the plate for a single mom of 31.

But she keeps finding that light at the end of the tunnel.

But somehow she keeps getting by,
The only soft shoulder she knows is off some old broken road,
She’s goin’ down…she’s goin’ down.
Sometimes she feels like throwin’ in the towel,
But she’s not, no matter what she’s gonna give her kids a better life,
Than what she’s got…
And that’s what keeps her getting by[G(add9)].

[G(add9)] Friday at noon its parent/teacher day,

Its Johnson Elementary or half a shift’s pay,
She wouldn’t miss it for the world.
[G(add9)]She looks around at all the daddies in the room,

Wishin’ her kids had one of them too.
This ain’t how she planned it, her life’s goin’ ten different ways,
Its off to little league, and then to ballet..

But somehow she keeps getting by,
The only soft shoulder she knows is off some old broken road,
She’s goin’ down…she’s goin’ down.
Sometimes she feels like throwin’ in the towel,
But she’s not, no matter what she’s gonna give her kids a better life,
Than what she’s got…
And that’s what keeps her getting by.

In every dark cloud oh, she keeps findin’ that
Silver lining.

INSTRUMENTAL

Sometimes she feels like throwin’ in the towel,
But she’s not, no matter what she’s gonna give her kids a better life,
Than what she’s got…
And that’s what keeps her getting by.
Yeah, that’s what keeps her getting by[G(add9)].
