Lyrics
You Always Love Me More Jeff Bomber 2/24/2007
D A
I come home and see, she?s on her ninth diaper of the day,
D A
I guess you?re in no mood to play
G A G A
Phone calls from bill collectors, Once again it?s hamburger helper
D G
Not like your fashion magazine,
A D
Thank God you still stay with me
D Asus
I try to understand
D Asus
Why there?s nothing that keeps us apart
D Asus
You think you?d have a broken heart,
G A
But You still find reasons to stay as one
G A D G
She is 1 and He is 4, But even more than them
A D
Is you always love me, more:ll
D A
Drywall dust from my boots on the floor, Working like this is keepin? us poor
D A
But you just shake it off,
G A G A
There?s a big house I?m buildin?, For someone else?s spoiled children
D G
But you don?t seem to mind
A D
Thank God for my precious find
D A
I promise you someday you?ll have the finest things
D A
A new car and clothes and diamond rings
G A G A
But you just smile at me and say, I have all I need today
D G
A warm bed and we have those two
A D
Everything I need?s right here with you
