Just in the last like two weeks, all of a sudden,
she has become very interested in the idea that I make money when I sing.
I'm not sure what started this.
_ It seems to be thematically related to the fact that all she wants to play is Monopoly.
_ Like, she's really into this whole money thing, and she's also,
she doesn't understand denominations really [F] because like when we play Monopoly
she gets really excited if she gets a [N] bunch of singles.
_ _ And she, also thematically related, I've noticed quite recently
she's started to try to bribe me.
Like, if she wants another, I don't know, bowl of ice cream,
she'll say, I'll give you $10 million.
_ _ _ _ Anyway, so a week ago she called me up and said,
oh, right, I was about to go on stage, it was like an hour before my show in Virginia,
and she said, Mommy, _ how much are you going to make tonight?
Are you going to make a million dollars?
_ _ No.
_ _ And then the week after, last week,
_ _ I was having a meeting with someone that I think I'm going to be doing some work with.
And so Molly knew that this woman was going to be hiring me to do [F] some singing.
[C#] And I had to go to a meeting with her and _ some other people,
and I had to bring Molly because I didn't have a babysitter,
my husband was working, so I brought her, and she was such a good girl.
She sat and just played her little de-es.
You guys know about de-esses?
_ _ Yeah.
Anyway.
_ [F] But in the middle of the meeting, _ there's this pause, and she whispers to me,
[C#] when is she going to pay you?
[F] _ _ _
_ [F#] So, that's my girl.
[E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
I wrote this song when we were first [B] starting the adoption [E]
process.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [C#m] And we didn't know anything about Molly.
[B] _ _ And we didn't find out anything [C#m] about Molly until about six weeks before we went to China.
_ _ _ We got [B] two _ _ tiny little photos of a [C#m] _ _ _ frowning baby girl [B] _
with beautiful black hair.
_ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ But [E] when I wrote this, we didn't know anything except that there was [A] a baby girl [C#m] waiting for us somewhere,
and she [B] would be our daughter, _ and we would call her Molly.
[C#m] This is a love song. _ _
_ _ _ I'm all emotional tonight.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
When I found [C#m] you, I knew that you'd be mine.
_ [B] It wasn't my first kiss, [C#m] _ wasn't my first time.
It [A] was the first time I gave my heart [C#m] when I wasn't just alone. _
[C#] I put it in your hands, _ [A] and I followed you home. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Now I'm on the _ interstate, _ [C#m] wishing I could sleep.
[B] I see you lying in our [C#m] bed, waiting up for me.
_ [A] While I'm taking in the view, _ _ [C#m] I'm wishing I could give you [B] what I wanted to.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ You know I want it to.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] This is home, _ _ [A] where I want to be.
_ _ [B] This is home.
_ _ [A] Let's make a family.
_ _ [E] Baby, you and me. _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] Baby, you and me.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] She's lying on a bed _ [C#m] in some crowded room, [B] _ _ trying to sleep.
_ [C#m] Not much else to do.
_ [A] The faces change around her.
They [C#m] speak to her sometimes.
[B] _
_ _ She's getting used to being [A]
left behind. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
When we find her, [C#m] we'll belong to her.
_ [B] We won't see her first [C#m] smile, won't hear her first word.
_ [A] But ours will be the first hearts she [C#m] holds in her hand.
_ [B] _
She can keep them beside her [A] in our very own. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This [E] is home, _ where [A] I want to be.
_ This [B] is home.
_ _ [A] Let's make a _ family.
_ [E] This is _ home, _ [A] where I want to be. _
_ [B] This is home. _ _ _
[A] Let's make a _ family. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Oh, baby, you and me.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] Yeah, baby, you and me.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Baby, _ you and [A] me.
_ _ Oh, baby, [E] you and me. _ _ _ _
