[F#]
I was born in [B] 89, my mother was a [C#] juvenile, [F#] she left me at a hospital door.
The doctor said he knew [B] someone, prayed for years to have [C#] a son.
They rang me up and took [F#] me home.
Been 15 years down the [G#] line, the parents they confessed [B] their lies.
I was not [F#] their own.
They told me it was for the [A#] best, your mother was not ready [B]
yet.
[Bm] They handed me the note, [F#] she left.

[F#] it means always.
[G#] [C#] [F#]

I handed her the note, [F#] she left.
She said I hoped you'd come [G#] one day, there are so many [B] things to say.
And where [Bm] do [F#] I begin?
I never call you my [Fm] mistake, though there [A#] are plenty I [Bm] have made.
But are my words [F#] too late?
[B] Cause I was not [F#]
their own.
They still killed, [E] but that [C#] don't mean it was [F#] easy to me.
No, [B]
[F#] it means [G#] always.
[C#] [F#]
[F#m] [D] [A#] [A#m] But my love [B] is still as strong, [A#m] even after [F#m] all [G#m] this time.
[Cm] [A#m] But my love [G#m] is never gone, [A#m] it's with you both [A] day [G#m] and night.
[C#]
[F#] [B]
I was only [F#] 15, still a kid, but [C#] that don't mean it was [F#] easy for me.
