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