[Intro 1]
[Em][Spoken [D]words][G]
[C][D][Em]
[Em][D][G]
[C][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
You were [Em]early
every weekday to [D]take me [G]home
Your car was always the [C]closest
to [D]Washington [Em]Road
Like a blanket,
I was wrapped in your [D]arms, so [G]warm
They say Boston's the [C]coldest,
but [D]I wouldn't k[Em]now

[Pre-chorus 1]
There was no [Em]falling down without you 'round
to [D]pick me [G]up
[Bm]And no tears[C] that fell without your help
to [D]change my [Em]luck
And you taught me so much,
I could not learn [D]fast e[G]nough
About how to [C]love someone [D]wholeheartedly

[Chorus 1]
[C]You soldiered [G]storms
that you [D]never spoke [Em]of
[C]Built up a [G]world that was [D]all about [Em]us
If [C]I close my e[G]yes, I can s[D]till feel your t[Em]ouch
The [C]warm steady shake of two hands
That love me too [Em]much, [D]mmm,[G]
that [Bm]love me too [C]much, [D]mmm[Em]

[Verse 2]
You took [Em]over for your family at [D]just [G]sixteen
Putting words onto [C]paper, working [D]tire[Em]lessly
You said, "your life
should just be easy, [D]love
I've [G]worked enough for all of us
Just [C]smile and shoot for stars
a[D]bove [Em]and read"

[Pre-chorus 2]
'Cause there was no [Em]falling down
without you 'round to [D]pick me [G]up
And no [C]tears that fell without your help
to [D]dry them [Em]up
You taught me so much,
I could not learn [D]fast e[G]nough
About how to [C]love someone [D]wholeheartedly

[Chorus 2]
[C]You soldiered [G]storms
that you [D]never spoke [Em]of
[C]Built up a [G]world that was [D]all about [Em]us
If [C]I close my e[G]yes, I can s[D]till feel your t[Em]ouch
The [C]warm steady shake of two hands
That love me too [Em]much, [D]mmm,[G]
that [Bm]love me too [C]much, [D]mmm[Em]

[Bridge 1]
Can I [Am]hold your, can I hold your hand for[G]ever?
And never let it [Em]go? I might never let it [D]go
And can I [Am]ask you, can I ask you every[G]thing
That I ever want to [Em]know?

[Chorus 3]
And, Nana, can you show me how to
[C]Soldier big [G]storms and not [D]ever give [Em]up
And [C]build up a [G]world that is [D]all about [Em]love?
And [C]not close my [G]eyes
when the [D]water gets [Em]rough
To have [C]warm steady hands just like you
That love me too [Em]much, [D]mmm,[G]
that [Bm]love me too [C]much, [D]mmm[Em]

[Outro 1]
That I'm worthy [Em]of, [D]mmm[G]
that [Bm]love me too [C]much, [D]mmm[Em]
That love me too much [D](ooh)[G]
[Bm][Spoken [C]words][D][Em]
That I'm worthy of [D](ooh)[G]
That love me [C]too [D]much
