C 

[Verse 1]
                    G         C
I do most everything wrong
                          G      Dm
Even on the day you were born
                                 F
My husband's been lying and cheating
                             Dm
And I turn my cheek and reason
                        G    C
I change my tune everyday


[Verse 2]
                                 G    C
There is one thing I want you to be
                     G    Dm
That is smarter than me
                               F
If things they don't seem right
                               Dm
Open your wings and take flight
                                       G
Don't stick around to watch the pieces fall


[Verse 3]
                          C
I don't want you to feel alone
                                   G       Dm
But you probably will when you are older
                        F
I will try to stay alive
                               Dm
To see as much through your eyes
                             G   C
But one day you know I will go


[Verse 4]
                                G     C
Don't listen too much to what I say
                                G    Dm
Making sense has never been my way
                      F
I can teach you 1-2-3
                               Dm
I can dance with you on repeat
                             G
I can hold your hand forever
                  Dm
Na na na na na na
                                         G     C
I can do so much, but you can do so much more


[Verse 5]
                      G      C
I am only a stepping stone
                              G    Dm
For you to get where you must go
                                     F
And there is nothing I would rather be
                        Dm
So put your weight on me
                  G       C
Na na na na na na na oh


[Verse 6]
                G     C
I am your protector
                    Dm    F
I am not your pretender
         Dm   F
I will try
             Dm   F
I will not lie
                           G               C
I will not cry too much in front of you


[Verse 7]
                            G    C
I have been really, really sad
                                 G    C
Except for having you with your dad
