By My Side

Em        | D        | G        | B7        |
Em        | D        | G        | B7        ||

[Verse 1]
Em       D               G     B7
  Oh, my baby, she wants more,
Em      D              G     B7
  she's knocking on my door
Em         D               G     B7
  from the basement on the floor,
Em         D            G     B7
  from the bottom of my ocean.

[Chorus]
      Em        D     G             B7
Ohoh, my, ohoh, no, mmm, where's my girl?
  Em           D          G           B7
I want to have fun in the sun with my daughter.
       Em         D          G              B7
Yes, I like this idea, but I don't have you here
      Em             D       G        B7
and I want you by my side, I do.

[Verse 2]
Em   D             G        B7
  My mind wants to wait
Em            D              G        B7
  but I got a mountain in my body,
Em        D                       G        B7
  I got a flood, an unlocked gate,
Em        D                    G        B7
  I got a western plain that's singing.

[Chorus]
      Em        D     G             B7
Ohoh, my, ohoh, no, mmm, where's my girl?
  Em           D          G           B7
I want to have fun in the sun with my daughter.
       Em         D          G              B7
Yes, I like this idea, but I don't have you here
      Em             D       G        B7
and I want you by my side, I do.

[Bridge]
A             D            G     B7
  To hold her close as she falls asleep,
A             D        G       B7
  to keep her warm and dry her crying eyes;
A             D    G      B7
  to lift her up into the blue skies
A             D              G        D
  and let her be, what she's going to be.

[Interlude]
Em        | D        | G        | B7        |
Em        | D        | G        | B7        ||

[End-Chorus]
      Em        D     G             B7
Ohoh, my, ohoh, no, mmm, where's my girl?
  Em           D          G           B7
I want to have fun in the sun with my daughter.
       Em         D          G              B7
Yes, I like this idea, but I don't have you here
      Em             D       G       B7
and I want you by my side, I do.

[Outro]
  Em             D       G         B7
I want you by my side, I do.
  Em             D       G         B7
I want you by my side, I do.
  Em             D       G         B7
I want you by my side, I do.
  Em             D       G         B7
I want you by my side, I do.
Em
