i love you this much

Intro:  D  Dsus2-D  G  Asus A (x2)

D           A/C#       Bm             A
He can't remember the times that he thought
     G        D/F#     Em7       A
Does my daddy love me, probably not
D            A/C#          Bm              A
That didn't stop him from wishing that he did
        G             D/F#       Em7         Asus A
Didn't keep him from wanting or worshipping him

D             A/C#      Bm          A
He guesses he saw him about once a year
           G            D/F#         Em7         A
He could still feel the way he felt standing in tears
D              A/C#        Bm             A
Stretching his arms out as far as they'd go
G           D/F#   Em7          A
Whispering, dad I want you to know


Chorus:
                 G                       D/F#
I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
                 Em7                  A
To make up your mind, do you love me too?
                   G                    D/F#
How ever long it takes I'm never giving up
          Em7   D/F#  G
No matter what
   A             D  (repeat intro progression once except on second chorus)
I love you this much



D          A/C#          Bm          A
He grew to hate him for what he had done
       G            D/F#        Em              A
Cause what kind of father could do that to his son
D         A/C#          Bm               A
He said, damn you daddy the day that he died
     G         D/F#           Em         A
The man didn't blink but the little boy cried


CHORUS
                G                       D/F#
I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
                 Em7                  A
To make up your mind, do you love me too?
                   G                    D/F#
How ever long it takes I'm never giving up
          Em7   D/F#  G


Bridge:
Em7                                     D
Half way through the service while the choir sang a hymn
     C                                  A
He looked up above the preacher and he sat and stared at him


          D          A/C#       Bm     A
He said, forgive me father when he realized
         G            D/F#       Em7          A
That he hadn't been unloved or alone all his life
D               A/C#            Bm           A
His arms were stretched out as far as they'd go
G             D/F#          Em7             A
Nailed to the cross for the whole world to know


CHORUS
                G                       D/F#
I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
                 Em7                  A
To make up your mind, do you love me too?
                   G                    D/F#
How ever long it takes I'm never giving up
          Em7   D/F#  G
