[A]
[F#m] [D] [A]
I've had my share of [Bm] life's ups and downs,
but [Am] fate's been kind.
[E] The [A] downs have been few.
[F#m] I guess you could say [D] [E] that [Bm] [A] I've been lucky.
[E] [F#m] I guess you [F] could say [A] [B] that it's [E]
all up to you.
[A] [E] If [A] anyone should ever write [F#m] my life story,
I'd [C#m] be [D] happy.
Or whatever [E] fate [A] might be.
[C#] Ooh,
[F#m] [E] you're between each line of pain and glory,
[F#m]
[Bm] cause you're the best thing that ever [E] happened [C#m] to me.
[F#m]
[D] You're the best thing [G#] that ever happened to me.
[A] [D] When
[A] [F#]
[D#m] [B]
[C#m] times were hard,
[F#]
[B]
[E] every [F#] moment [B] that I spent hurting,
[F#] there [G#m] was a moment [G] for [B] [C#]
[F#] just [C#m] loving you.
[F#] If [B] anyone should ever write my [G#m] life story,
[E] [F#] or whatever fate [D#m] might be,
[D#]
[G#m] you're between [F#] each line of pain and glory,
[G#m] cause [E] you're the best thing that [F#] ever happened [D#m] to me.
[E]
[C#m] You're the best thing that [F#] ever [D#m] happened to me.
