G G/F# Em C D G
I wish I could do better by you 'cause that's what you deserve,
G G/F# Em C D G
You sacrifice so much of your life in order for this to work.

G G/F#
While I'm out chasin' my own dreams,
Em
Sailin' around the world,
C D G
Please know that I'm yours to keep, my beautiful girl.
G G/F# Em C D G
When you cry, a piece of my heart dies, knowing I may have been the cause
G G/F# Em C D
If you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams, I think I might totally
G
be lost.
G G/F#
You don't ask for no diamond rings,
Em
No delicate string of pearls,
C D G
That's why I wrote this song to sing, my beautiful girl.
Em C D G G/F#
Oh----------- X4
