   A
Grandma and grandpa painted a picture
  F#m
Of 65 years in one little house
 D
More than a memory
More than saying I do
 E
Kiss you goodnights
And I love you’s
 A
Me and you baby

Me and you baby
We’ll walk in their footsteps
We’ll build our own family
One day at a time
10 little toes
A painted pink room
Our beautiful baby looks just like you

Chorus:
           A                        F#m
And we’ll build this love from the ground up
                     D
Now til forever it’s all of me, all of you
                        E
Just take my hand and I’ll be the man your dad
hoped that I’d be
           A                        F#m
And we’ll build this love from the ground up
For worse or for better
    D
And I will be all you need
                                   E
Beside you I’ll stand through the good and the bad
We’ll give all that we have
           D             E                A
And we’ll build this love from the ground up

This life will go by in the blink of an eye
But I wouldn’t wanna spend it without you by my side
The clouds are gonna roll
The earth’s gonna shake
But I’ll be your shelter
Through the wind and the rain

Chorus:
And we’ll build this love from the ground up
Now til forever it’s all of me, all of you
Just take my hand and I’ll be the man your dad
hoped that I’d be
And we’ll build this love from the ground up
For worse or for better
And I will be all you need
Beside you I’ll stand through the good and the bad
We’ll give all that we have
And we’ll build this love from the ground up

Someday we’ll wake up with thousands of pictures
Of 65 years in this little house
I won’t trade for nothin’ this life that we built
I’ll kiss you goodnight and say I love you still

Chorus:
And we’ll build this love from the ground up
For worse or for better
And I will be all you need
Beside you I’ll stand through the good and the bad
We’ll give all that we have
And we’ll build this love from the ground up
From the ground up
Ah
