[B] [E] [G#] [C#m]
[E]
[A]
If you [C#m] leap awake in the mirror [E] of a bad dream
And [F#] for a fraction [C#m] of a second you can't [C#] remember where you are
[G#m] Just open [A] your [C#m] window and follow [E] your memory upstream
[F#] To the meadow [C#m] in the mountain [D#] where we counted [B] every [C#m] falling star
[A] I believe the light that [C#m] shines on you will shine [B] on you [E] forever
And [F#] though I can't [C#m] guarantee there's nothing scary [B] hiding under [C#m] your bed
I'm [A] gonna stand [C#m] guard [C#] like a [B] postcard of a golden [E] retriever
And [C#] never leave [E] till I leave you [C#] with a sweet [B] dream in [C#m] your head
[E]
I'm gonna watch you [A] shine, gonna watch you [B] grow
Gonna [E] paint a sign [C#m] so you'll always [B] know
As [E] long as one and one is two
[A] There [E] could never be a father who loved his daughter [B] more than I [C#m] love you
[A] [G#m] [F#]
[E] Trust your intuition, it's just like going fishing
[F#] You cast [C#m] your line [C#] and I hope you get [C#m] a bite
But [G#m] you [A] don't need to [C#m] waste your time
[E]
Worrying about the marketplace, trying to help the human race
[F#] Struggling [C#m] to survive [B] this [C#m] harshest night
[E]
I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign so you'll always know
As [A] long as one and [E] one is two
[A] [E] There could never be a father who loved his daughter [B] more than I [C#m] love you
[F#] [A] [C#]
[E] [F#m]
[C#m] [F#m]
[C#m] [A] [F#]
[C#]
[E] I'm gonna [A] watch you shine, [E] gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign so you'll always know
As [A] long as [E] one and one is two
[A] There [E] could never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you
