[G] [C] [Gm]
I'm trying to always close with [G] this song.
[D] [N]
[C]
[F]
[C] [B] I wrote this [F] for a [Cm] 5 year old boy at the time.
[C] [G]
[Cm] He's [D] now 24 years [C] old.
[G] [F]
[C] He's mastering [F] this band's first record.
[C]
And I thought when I wrote this that he would be the only one to hear it.
I put it [G] on a cassette 5 times in a row.
[C]
[Gm] [F] It had one of [Cm] those big Fisher Price big buttons.
[F]
[C] [G] [C] He was moving halfway around the world with his mom.
[G] [C] [F]
I was [C] terrified that I wouldn't get to be [Am] a dude.
[F] [C] [G]
[C] I was dude wrong.
[G] [F]
[A] Now the great thing [Ab] about this song is I think God gave [F] it to humble me.
[C] [G]
[C] A number of ways and places and times that [F] this song has brought me to tears.
[C] Countless.
[G] [C]
I wrote a [Cm] lyric in it that at the time I [G] thought [C] I believed.
But [F]
[C] this gift from God
[F] made me [Cm] really [C] believe it.
[Am] I just had a mother [F] send
[Ab] me a letter [C] asking what permissions she needed.
You could part of a good [G] on a 4 year old's raised [C] up.
And if that won't humble you nothing will.
The fact [Eb] of the matter is God really does hear anything, whatever we
[C] [G]
[C] [G] [C]
[F]
[G] [C] [G]
[C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] [F]
[G] [C] are.
The water is white.
[G]
[F] Pirates sail and lost boys fly.
[G] [Am] There's bad [G] moonbeams every night.
[C] I [F]
love you.
God's sweet woman.
[G] Sweet [C] dream.
[G] [C]
Oh my [F] love will fly.
You each night [G] [Am] are [G] angel
[F] wings.
[C]
[F]
God's sweet,
[G] [C] sweet dreams.
[G] [C] [G]
[C] [G] [C] [F]
[G] [C] Rocket drifters all chuck her down.
[F]
Spermans in pajamas on the couch.
[D] [Am] Goodnight moon, [G] you'll find them out.
I
[C] [F]
love you.
God's sweet woman.
[C] Sweet dream.

Oh my [F] love will fly.
