[Verse]
 
  G                   D
Sir I'm a bit nervous about being here today,
 Em                    C
Still not quite sure what I'm going to say.
 G                         D                       Em    C
So bare with me please if I take up too much of your time.
 G                D
See in this box is a ring for your oldest,
 Em                 C
She's my everything and all that I know is,
 G                           D                        Em
It would be such a relief if I knew we were on the same side.
 C                           D
'Cuz very soon I'm hoping that I,
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                  G
Can marry your daughter,
                  D
And make her my wife.
              Em7                    C2                     G
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life,
                D                              Em7   C2...
And give her the best of me till the day that I die.
C2                  G                       D
I'm gonna marry your princess and make her my queen.
                    Em7                            C2
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen.
                G
I can't wait to smile,
                        D
When she walks down the aisle,
                 Em7
On the arm of her father,
    C2                   G                D Em7 C2
On the day that I marry your daughter.
 
 
[Verse]
 
  G                               D
She's been here every step since the day that we met.
              Em                           C
Scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left.
 G                        D                 Em    C
So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad.
        G                      D
I've got most of the vows done so far.
                 Em                 C
So bring on the better or worst, and till death do us part
          G
There's no doubt in my mind
D               Em
It's time I'm ready to start.
 C                       D...
I swear to you with all of my heart,
 
 
[Chorus]

                      D           Em                C...
The first time I saw her I swear I knew that I'd say I do.
