[Gm]
[Eb] [F] [Bb]
I wish I [Gm] could do better [Eb] by you, cause that's [Bb] what you deserve
You sacrificed [Gm] so much of your life [Eb] in order [Bb] for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams, [Gm] sailing around the world
[Eb] Please know that I'm yours [F] to keep, my [Bb] beautiful girl
When you cry, a piece [Gm] of my heart dies
[Eb] Knowing [F] that I may have [Bb] been the cause
If you were to leave, [Gm] fulfill someone else's dreams
[Eb] I think [F] I might [Bb] totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings, [Gm] no delicate strings of pearls
[Eb] That's why I wrote this [F] song to sing, [Bb] my beautiful girl
[Gm]
Oh, [Eb] oh, [F] oh, [Bb] oh, oh, [F] oh, [Gm] [Eb] [Bb]

I wish I could [Gm] do better by [Eb] you, [F] cause that's what you [Bb] deserve
You sacrificed so [Gm] much of your [Eb] life in order [F] for [Gm] [Bb] this to work.
While I'm out chasing my own dream,
My own [Dm] [Gm] dream,
Just feeling around the world,
Around the world,
[Eb] Please know that I'm [F] yours to keep,
My [Bb] beautiful girl.
And when you cry, a [Gm] piece of my heart [Eb] dies,
Knowing [F] that I may [Bb] have been a part.
If you were to leave [Gm] and fulfill someone else's [Eb] dreams,
I [F] think I might [Bb] totally be lost.
But you don't ask for no diamond ring,
Diamond [Gm] ring,
No delicate string of pearls,
String of [Eb] pearls,
That's why I wrote this [F] song to sing,
My [Bb] beautiful girl.
