[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][Am][C]
[Cm]

[Verse 1]
Well, you came at a [G]dark time
I guess you didn't know
Maybe that's love
Or maybe that's [Em]just life
You never came first
Me, him and her and [G]you
[Am]in the back light
Can't imagine how it hurts
Tryin' to be a dad, like,
tryin' to be the [C]man, right?
Watching us fall, [Cm]watching us cry,
watching us [G]conquer

[Verse 2]
Trying not to [G]bleed,
picking up the pieces left by a [Em]monster
So, how does it feel, giving it your all
But it's only getting [Am]harder?
Push away 'cause I don't
need a father
Please stay 'cause I really
need a [C]father[Cm]

[Verse 3]
I remember the [G]night that you came
Remember the way that it changed
Everything, all that you saved
[Am]Mama was never so brave
You made a home of a place
Together, you helped us es[Em]cape
All of the love that you gave
All of the love you replaced
All of the [C]loving that I never
thought I'd embrace

[Verse 4]
It's always been [G]you
(it's always been you)
It's only been [Am]you
(it's only been you)
It's always been [Em]you
(it's always been you)
It's only been you [C](it's only
been you)
It's always been you, it's always been [Cm]you,
it's always been you
[G]So, as I've grown

[Verse 5]
up
I see the man I am, I see the man he [D]his,
see a man [Em]I love
Based on one who doesn't even
[D]know he raised me [Am]up
I hope I can show, shot to the God,
drenched in the [C]flood
When all is said [D]and done

[Verse 6]
You'll [G]always have my love
I [D]know I'm not [Em]a part of you
But what's blood?
You [D]loved [G]in [Am]a way that's
deeper in these veins
Than blood could ever [C]stain
And that's where you'll re[Cm]main

[Verse 7]
I remember the [G]night that you came
Remember the way that it changed
Everything, all that you saved
[Am]Mama was never so brave
You made a home of a place
Together, you helped us es[Em]cape
All of the love that you gave
All of the love you replaced
All of the lov[C]ing that I never
thought I'd embrace
It's [Cm]always [G]been

[Verse 8]
you
(it's always been you)
It's only [Am]been
you (it's only been you)
It's always been [Em]you (it's always
been you)
It's only been you [C](it's only
been you)
It's always been you, it's always been [Cm]you,
always been [G]you

[Verse 9]
Whenever I'm [G]lost,
whenever I'm down and I'm kneel[Am]ing
Whenever I'm crying,
whenever I'm broke and on [Em]my knees and
Whenever I'm hurt,
whenever I'm scared and I'm [C]bleeding
It's always been you, it's always been [Cm]you,
it's [G]always been you

[Verse 10]
Whenever I'm [G]frightened,
whenever I'm a fool and I'm kneel[Am]ing
Whenever the night takes me back
and I'm weep[Em]ing
Whenever I'm cross,
it's too much with the demon[C]s
It's always been you, it's always been you,
it's always been you
