"Part Of Your Own" - John Gorka from "Between Five and Seven" 1996

Capo on 2nd fret

Intro: D  A  G  Bm  A

       D
I wish you could live forever

         A
And that I could be there too

         G
And that there'd be generations

        Bm           A   
To look after me and you


      D
But I know that isn't likely

     A
So I guess I'll say it now
  
          G
That I'll love you past the boundaries

     Bm               A
That time and breath allow

You were my first memory
We were playing in the grass
Like the colors of your apron
Love was colored in to last

Chorus:
    D        G           A         D  
I'm glad the light still hits your face

        Bm         Bm/A                G 
And I'm glad every time you answer the phone

    D            A               G 
For you life and home have never been an easy place

        Bm        A             D 
And I'm glad to be part of your own


You were the foundation
That we built my life upon
First with Dad and Cass and Mary
Then one was sick, and one was gone

People only get one family
And a lot of them are rough
I'm glad the one I got was one
That wasn't hard to love

I hope I have your toughness
Along will your will to be kind
And know as I am one of yours
That you are one of mine

Repeat chorus
