Intro: Dsus2  Asus4  D  G
 
 
Dsus2                Asus4                    D   
She's sitting at the table, the hours getting later
                        G                           Dsus2
He was supposed to be here, she's sure he would have called
                     Asus4                         D   
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway
                       G                            Bm7
No one's said they've seen him, why, is something wrong?
                      Asus4                      D   
She looks back to the window, suddenly the phone rings 
                           G                                  Bm7
A voice says something's happened, that she should come right now
                   Asus4                            D   
Her mind goes to December, she thinks of when he asked her
                      G
He bent down on his knees first, and he said
 
 
D             A                          Bm
I want you forever, forever and always
              G                       D
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
                  A                   Gb   G
We'll grow old together, forever and always
 
 
Dsus2                  Asus4                              D   
She pulls up to the entrance, she walks right to the front desk
                        G
They lead her down a million halls, a maze that's never ending
Bm7                     Asus4                    D   
They talk about what happened but she can barely hear them
                       G
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room
G                   A                   D   
She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight
                      G
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life
G                   A                        D
The house on the hillside, where they would stay
 
 
              A                   Bm
Stay there forever, forever and always
             G                         D
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
                  A                    Bm
We'll grow old together, and always remember
          G                      Bm
Whether rich or for poor or for better
                         A               Gbm   G
We'll still love each other, forever and always
 
 
G                 Asus4                 D   
Then she gets an idea and calls in the nurses
                G
Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple Verses
G                Asus4                     D   
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
                G
Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor
                    A
She looks into his eyes, and she says
 
 
              A                   Bm
I love you forever, forever and always
             G                         D
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
                  A                    Bm
We'll grow old together, and always remember
          G                Bm
Whether happy or sad or whatever
                        A                Gb   G
We'll still love each other, forever and always
              D    A             Gb   G
Forever and always, forever and always
 
 
D                 A                                D   
She finishes the vows but the beeps are getting too slow
                     G
His voice is almost too low
            D              A                  Bm
As he says, I love you forever, forever and always
               G                       D
Please just remember even if I'm not there
              A                   Gb   G
I'll always love you, forever and always
