[Intro]
G Am Em C
G Am Em C

[Verse 1]
G                      Am
What can I say of Your love that
              Em           C
has not already been said?
G                      Am
Were I to tell all the things
You have done
        Em               C
I would run out of breath
G                            Am
So many songs have been sung
    Em                             C
But how could I praise You enough?
So here's another one

[Chorus]
G   Am          Em
Why-y-y-y You love me
          C
Like You love me, I'll never know
G   Am          Em
Why-y-y-y You love me
          C
Like You love me
             G
Your love is better than silver,
Am
better than gold
Em                        C
Better than anything I've ever
known, I'll never know
G   Am         Em
Why-y-y-y You love mе
          C
Like You love me, I'll nеver know

[Verse 2]
G                Am
Real joy doesn't always
          Em           C
feel like laughter, no
G               Am              Em
Blessings don't always come from
             C
the places I thought they would
G                 Am
Your love doesn't look anything
     Em         C
like it does in Hollywood
G                            Am
You don't walk out when it's over
Em                          C
That's when I need You the most
I'll never know

[Chorus]
G   Am          Em
Why-y-y-y You love me
          C
Like You love me, I'll never know
G   Am          Em
Why-y-y-y You love me
          C
Like You love me
             G
Your love is better than silver,
Am
better than gold
Em                        C
Better than anything I've ever
known, I'll never know
G   Am         Em
Why-y-y-y You love mе
          C
Like You love me, I'll nеver know
