Intro G  D  A  Bm  
        G  A  D 
 
G               D         A              Bm 
The things you taught me just a little while 
          G     D            A 
Would've taken me a hundred years 
G           D        A           Bm 
I can't imagine travelin' these miles 
G            D             A 
Without somebody like you here 
 
           G          D                  A       Bm 
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home 
           G              D                 A 
'Cause he loves them too much to let them stay 
           G          D                  A       Bm 
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home 
        G                  A         D 
But I didn't know it was gonna be today 
 
G     D          A                Bm 
I remember the places that we've been 
G             D              A 
The little things we used to do 
G         D        A            Bm 
Looking back now that's when I began 
G                 D             A 
To realize that I'm a lot like you 
 
           G          D                  A       Bm 
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home 
           G              D                 A 
'Cause he loves them too much to let them stay 
           G          D                  A       Bm 
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home 
        G                  A         D 
But I didn't know it was gonna be today

G               D    A               Bm 
Friends and family help to pass the time 
G                     D            A 
I'm thumbing through pictures of you 
G           D        A           Bm 
Feelin' lonesome, missin' you and cryin' 
G                       D        A 
That's not what you'd want me to do 
 
           G          D                  A       Bm 
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home 
           G              D                 A 
'Cause he loves them too much to let them stay 
           G          D                  A       Bm 
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home 
        G                  A         D 
But I didn't know it was gonna be today
