[Verse]
Em Bm C D
..I got this photograph, 22 years have passed
Em Bm C D
..You with your hair tied back and me in your arms
Em Bm C D
..We’re at your brother’s house and I’m wearing hand-me-downs
Em Bm C D
You’re in my father’s shirt, the one that you loved
So much has changed
Em D
But your smile and your laugh stay the same
C
For the three kids you raised
Em D
By yourself on a minimum wage
[Chorus]
C G
You made a big life from the small things
D Em D
When there wasn’t enough, you still give us the world
C G
You made us feel like we were something
D
Never left us in the dark
[Post-Chorus]
C Em D
I’ve always got you….in my heart, in my mind
C Em D
I’ve always had you….from the start of my life
[Verse]
Em Bm C D Em
I know I think I’m growing up, but I still need you so much
Bm C D
I might have moved away but you’re still my home
Em Bm C D
..You let me make mistakes, mess up and call you late
Em Bm C D
That’s the way of saying you love me….
[Pre-Chorus]
C
So much has changed
Em D
But your smile and your laugh stay the same

For the three kids you raised

By yourself on a minimum wage
[Chorus]

You made a big life from the small things

I’ve always had you….from the start of my life
[Bridge]
C Em D G D
I don’t know just how you stop this all from falling apart….
C Em D
I don’t know how to thank you for the love in a photograph
[Chorus]
