[Verse 1]
E               D#m           C#m                  B
To every girl I ever loved, I tried my best but it wasn't enough
A                   G#m            F#m              B
You know I was just growing up and what I was going through
E                 D#m              C#m            B
To every girl who took my hand and listened to my wild plans
A               G#m            F#m                 B
Hope by now you understand how much I learned from you


[Pre-Chorus]
         F#m                  G#m
I wish I knew where you are today
            A               B
'Cause if I did, I'd get to say


[Chorus]
E             D#m         C#m              B
Thank you for sharing the best years of my life
A          G#m            F#m           B
All of the good times and tears that we cried (Ooh-ooh)
E           D#m          C#m        B
And if I become half the man I want to
A          G#m           F#m
I hope you know I know
                        E D#m C#m
It's all because of you
           B                 A  G#m F#m B
Yeah, it's all because of you (Ooh-ooh)


[Verse 2]
E                  D#m
To every girl I've ever kissed
    C#m              B
For all the nights I won't forget
A               G#m            F#m        B
Lost in all our innocence, I'd do it all again
   E                    D#m
To every girl that gave me her heart
C#m              B
Wherever you go, wherever you are
A                     G#m          F#m       B
I swear you'll always be a part of who I am


[Chorus]
   E             D#m         C#m              B
So thank you for sharing the best years of my life (Ooh, yeah)
A          G#m            F#m           B
All of the good times and tears that we cried (Ooh-ooh)
    E       D#m          C#m        B
And if I become half the man I want to
A          G#m    F#m
I hope you know I know (I know, I know)
     B                  E D#m C#m
It's all because of you (Ooh-ooh)


[Post-Chorus]
     B
It's all because of you, yeah
A               G#m        F#m
It's all because, it's all because
B
It's all because of you
E               D#m        C#m
It's all because, it's all because
B
It's all because of you
A                 G#m
It's all because, it's all, it's all because


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m           G#m
I wish I knew where you are today
            A               B
'Cause if I did, I'd get to say


[Chorus]
E             D#m         C#m              B
Thank you for sharing the best years of my life
A          G#m            F#m           B
All of the good times and tears that we cried (Oh, the tears that we cried)
    E       D#m          C#m        B
And if I become half the man I want to (Man I want to)
A          G#m    F#m
I hope you know I know (It's all)
     B
It's all because of you
