Best Thing I Ever Gave In To

You showed up in my Facebook messages C Like a song I didn’t wanna hear G I was building walls around my heart D Didn’t need nobody near G You kept knocking on that little blue screen C Wouldn’t let my silence win G I don’t know what made me answer D But thank God… I finally gave in [Pre-Chorus] Em I was scared of what forever meant C Didn’t know how love would feel G But the moment that I let you close D Was the moment it got real [Chorus] G ’Cause you became my always D My safe place in the storm Em The father of three beautiful girls C Who wrap around you every morn G Fifteen years of laughter D Of growing up side by side Em From that first “hello” on Facebook C To forever as your bride G You’re the best thing D The best thing I ever gave in to [Verse 2] G You make my tea every morning C Like it’s just what good men do G And there’s always a drink beside the bed D Before I even ask you to G You tickle my feet till I’m laughing C Even on the hardest days G And somehow those simple little things D Chase my worries all away [Pre-Chorus] Em I’ve watched you hold our daughters C Like they’re treasures heaven sent G The way they look at you with love D Is my favourite compliment [Chorus] G ’Cause you became their hero D The man they’ll measure love by Em The arms that hold our whole world C The steady when I cry G From Disney lights in Orlando D To late-night talks in the dark Em You turned a girl who wouldn’t answer C Into a woman with your heart G You’re the best thing D The best thing I ever gave in to [Bridge – soft, emotional] Em I still see you in that swimming pool C Nineteen minutes fighting that lilo G Our girls laughing so loud D Like you’d just won the Super Bowl Em And in that silly little moment C Watching you try and try G I realised this crazy, beautiful life D Is the one I’d never trade, not even once, not even if I tried [Final Chorus – bigger, heartfelt] G You’re my best friend and my home D The calm inside my fears Em The boy who wouldn’t stop chasing me C Turned into my fifteen years G If I had to start all over D And scroll that screen again Em I’d answer you a thousand times C I’d choose you every time back then G You’re the best thing D The best thing I ever gave in to C Yeah… loving you G Was the bravest thing I ever did D And the best thing I ever gave in to
