[Verse 1]
    D             A
I remember when I saw
           Bm
you at the movies
       G
And to me, you were a
      D          A
stranger in the room
       D              A
But to my surprise, I met
               G               D
your eyes and that was when I knew
                G
There's nowhere else I'd
        A                 D
rather be than here with you
      D                  A
Yeah, without a doubt, I took
             Bm
 you out for coffee
           G
We sat for hours at a
       D        A
table made for two
            Bm
And this is what I meant,
        A                G
sweet one, I spent the whole
               D
day talking to
                G
There's nowhere else I'd
        A                 D
 rather be than here with you

[Chorus]
           G
I love the lightness in your
                  D
 laughter and the sparkle
         A
in your eyes
           G
It doesn't matter if it rains
                   Bm
 or shines 'cause I'll be
          A
 by your side
           D        A
You're the fire I admire and
        G            D
 you'll always be my muse
                G
There's nowhere else I'd
        A                 D
rather be than here with you

[Verse 2]
       E                B
It was all a blur, then there
                C#m
we were at the altar
         A
You were mine and all
                E         B
my dreams were coming true
           C#m             B
You know I meant it when I took
               A
your hand in mine and
           E
said, "I do"
                A
There's nowhere else I'd
        B                 E
rather be than here with you
            E
But how the time does fly and
  B                 C#m
 years go by, it's crazy
            A
We both got sick and hurt
            E       B
 and sad a time or two
          C#m
But how I love you more and
 B              A
 more and after all that
            E
we've been through
                A
There's nowhere else I'd
        B           E
 rather be than here with you

[Chorus]
           A
I love the flowers in your
                    E
footprints and the sparkle
          B
in your eyes
           A
It doesn't matter if it rains
                  C#m
 or shines 'cause I'll be
        B
 by your side
        E
For the record, you're my
 B
treasure and you'll
  A            E
always be my muse
                A
There's nowhere else I'd
        B                 E
rather be than here with you

[Bridge]
        F#           C#
I'm not one to worry much
           D#m
about the future
                   B
But because you're mine,
            F#       C#
 I got everything to lose
               D#m
So I'll say it now before we're
 C#               B
 at the door that someday
            F#
we'll walk through
       B            F#
And if I'm the only one
             D#m
 left in the room
                B
There's nowhere else I'll
        C#                F#
 rather be than home with you

[Chorus]
           B
I love the springtime in your
                F#              C#
spirit and the sparkle in your eyes
           B
It doesn't matter if it rains or
               D#m             C#
shines 'cause I'll be by your side
      F#                C#
I can say it, you're my favorite
            B            F#
and you'll always be my muse
      B                 C#
And I hope that in your heart,
                D#m
 you know it's true
                B
There's nowhere else I'd
        C#                F#
rather be than here with you
