|C   |Am  |F   |G   |


[Verse 1]
C
  The minute I met you
Am
  I said "Give me some time"
F
I'll have you laughin' and fallin' in love
         G
'Til you tell the whole world that you're mine
C
  I know it don't make sense
Am
  That a girl like you
     F
With all of your beautiful, all of your wonder
      G
Would ever end up with a hard-headed fool


[Chorus]
       C                 Am
Girl I told you that I'd love you forever
         F              G
And I'll hold you in my arms and I'll never let go
C
I'll be standing there girl when you need me
Am
Every morning you'll wake up and see
  F
I do what I say and I say what I mean
G                                                    C            Am          F
One day we'll look back and girl I'm gon' say that I told you, yeah


[Verse 2]
C
  I said our shadow
Am
  Would look good on my wall
F
I said your clothes would look better girl
             G
If they were scattered all up and down my hall, yeah
C
  And it took a lot of tryin' 
                Am
(A whole lot of tryin') to steal away your heart
      F
But I told you that girl I won't ever give up
     G
If I got to I'll steal you the stars


[Chorus]
       C                 Am
Girl I told you that I'd love you forever
         F               G
And I'll hold you in my arms and I'll never let go
C
I'll be standing there girl when you need me
Am
Every morning you'll wake up and see
  F
I do what I say and I say what I mean
G                                                    C            Am          F
One day we'll look back and girl I'm gon' say that I told you, yeah


[Bridge]
F
  I think you know when we get to heaven
G
  Walkin' down streets of gold
F
We'll still be singin' and dancin' and lovin'
     G
It's gon' be your hand that I hold


[Chorus]
       C
Girl I told you (Yeah girl I told you)
         Am
That I'd love you forever
         F
And I'll hold you (Yeah girl I'll hold you)
      G
In my arms and I'll never let go (I never let go)
C                      N.C.
I'll be standing there girl when you need me (Right when you need me)
Am
Every morning you'll wake up and see (Wake up and see)
  F
I do what I say and I say what I mean
G                                                    C
One day we'll look back and girl I'm gon' say that I told you (Oh)
            Am
Yeah girl I told you (Yeah girl I told you)
       F
Girl I told you
            G                 C
Yeah girl I told you, yeah oh oh
