[Intro] G  D  G  D  A
        G  D  A  Bm 
        G  D  A

       D
When I first laid my eyes
       Bm
On the angel that you are
    G 
My heart spoke to me
              D
And said that love isn't far
    D
You walked into my life
       Bm
Like a glimmer of hope
  G
I thought I'd found the one
        D           A
Now I'm letting you know

         A
That I'm writing this song
            Bm       G
To tell you just one thing
       D
It's a letter to you
   A
To say thank you

        G
For the time
         D
We spent together
              G
When you were mine
     D      A
Mine forever
                G          D
It was the best year of my life
      A              Bm
And I doubt it won't ever be
                  G          D
'Cause you're the love of my life
                     A       D     
But now it's time to set you free

( G  D  A )

       D
As the months went by
       Bm
In the blink of an eye
          G
I fell in love with the feeling
          D
Of having you by my side
     D
So I told you that I loved you
      Bm
As we watched the setting sun
G
All the rest is history
                 D          A
That's where our journey begun

       A
Oh I'm writing this song
            Bm       G
To tell you just one thing
       D
It's a letter to you
   A
To say thank you

        G
For the time
         D
We spent together
              G
When you were mine
     D      A
Mine forever
                G          D
It was the best year of my life
      A              Bm
And I doubt it won't ever be
                  G          D
'Cause you're the love of my life
                     A       D     
But now it's time to set you free

       Bm
Oh you held my hand
       Fm
As you said to me
             G     
I've written down what I wanna say
          D    
'Cause it won't be easy
                  Bm
First you need to know how much I love you
         Fm
And it's nothing you have done
    G
But I don't think this is gonna work
        D              A    
So it's best if we move on
     
         A
So I'm writing this song
            Bm       G
To tell you just one thing
       D
It's a letter to you
   A
To say thank you

When you were mine
     D      A
Mine forever
                G          D
It was the best year of my life
      A              Bm
And I doubt it won't ever be
                  G          D
'Cause you're the love of my life
                     A       D     
But now it's time to set you free
                G          D
Yeah you're the love of my life
                     A      D
But now it's time to set me free
