Don't you know I[D] wish I was closer?[Em]
I'd be watching [C]over,
and if you're too [D]small to see
I'll lift you on my [Em]shoulders
If you're [G]feeling low, I'll [C]hold you
I wanna be there in the [Em]morning,
So I'm [C]working through the night[G]
And I'll be smiling into [Em]your name
When you're [C]robbing those brown [G]eyes
And if you'll ever leave me, [Em]call me
I wanna [C]make sure you're al[G]right
I don't wan[Bm]na be so [Am]far [Bm]from [C]home
You know you're daddy little [Em]soldier,
and your [C]mother's handsome [G]knight
No, don't you worry about [Em]darkness
'Cause you're [C]carrying the [G]light!
And those [Bm]shadows fall when [Am]you're [Bm]aro[C]und!
[D]Don't you know I wish I was [Em]closer?
I'd be watching [C]over,

I'll lift you on my [Em]shoulders
If you're [G]feeling low, I'll [C]hold you
I want you close to me like sun [Em]birds[C] on the [G]trees
'Cause when you're close to me my [Em]worries[C] flee from [G]me
'Cause when I'm with you my [Bm]feet don't touch the [Am]ground
No, I'm not a [G]king but when I'm with you I [Bm]feel like I'm wearing a [Am]crown
For you I [G]sing, for you I [Bm]sing
For you I [D]sing[Bm][C]
