| G  | C  | G  | D |
Verse 1
| G            | C            |
You were born ‘neath a South African sun
| G            | D            |
Louis Trichart in your eyes
| G            | C            |
Hatfield days and cousins close
| G            | D            |
A quiet strength I didn’t recognize

| G            | C            |
I’d see you walk past every afternoon
| G            | D            |
Jim Beam pulling on the lead
| G            | C            |
Didn’t know just watching you
| G            | D            |
Was planting roots in me

| Em           | C            |
Then on those grandstand stairs one day
| G            | D            |
The crowd just faded out
| G            | C            |
Everything went blurry, girl
| G            | D            |
When I saw you standing there

Chorus:

| C            | G            |
Lilly Bell, there was never a doubt
| D            | G            |
You were always what my heart was about
| C            | G            |
Through the rain and the miles and the years
| D            | G            |
Through the joy and the scars

| Em           | C            |
Twenty years down this road together
| G            | D            |
I’d still choose you forever
| C            | G            |
Yeah, if I had one life to live
| D            | G            |
I’d still choose you

Verse 2
| G            | C            |
You showed me what a good life looks like
| G            | D            |
Just by living what is true
| G            | C            |
When I drifted, you stood steady
| G            | D            |
And I found my way back through you

| Em           | C            |
You never crossed that quiet line
| G            | D            |
You always knew the way
| G            | C            |
Now I see that same direction
| G            | D            |
In our kids every day

| G            | C            |
You held the house when I was gone
| G            | D            |
You were more than just a mum
| G            | C            |
You were the heart that kept us whole
| G            | D            |
When the long days came and went

Chorus:
| C            | G            |
Lilly Bell, there was never a doubt
| D            | G            |
You were always what my heart was about
| C            | G            |
Through the rain and the miles and the years
| D            | G            |
Through the joy and the scars

Verse 3
| G            | C            |
Lilly Bell’s still in my phone
| G            | D            |
Some things you don’t outgrow
| G            | C            |
You flew the world to surprise me
| G            | D            |
Brought my people back home

| G            | C            |
Liana’s grown, she’s finding wings
| G            | D            |
University bound
| G            | C            |
Quentin’s on that baseball field
| G            | D            |
With you cheering every round

| Em           | C            |
Cold feet stealing heat at night
| G            | D            |
Gucci’s loved more than me
| G            | C            |
Flash just sighs and takes second place
| G            | D            |
That’s our kind of family

Bridge:
| C            | G            |
Lilly Bell, there was never a doubt
| D            | G            |
You were always what my heart was about
| C            | G            |
Through the rain and the miles and the years
| D            | G            |
Through the joy and the scars

Chorus:
| C            | G            |
Lilly Bell, hear me say it out loud
| D            | G            |
You’re the reason this life turned out proud
| C            | G            |
December rain on our wedding day
| D            | G            |
Was heaven saying, “You’re right”

| Em           | C            |
Twenty years and a lifetime to go
| G            | D            |
Through the fast and the slow
| C            | G            |
Yeah, if I get to choose again
| D            | G            |
I’d still choose you

Outro:

| C            | G            |
Wrong finger, almost burned your veil
| D            | G            |
But I got one thing right
| C            | G            |
You worked at that old video store
| D            | G            |
Now you’re my whole life

| Em           | C            |
Yeah, twenty years married
| G            | D            |
And baby, it’s still true
| C            | G            |
If I had it all to do again
| D            | G (hold)     |
I’d still choose you
