Arpeggiated fingerstyle Travis picking throughout, except on * = one strum. [Verse 1]

     C
Your tiny hand in mine

          Am
As you're sleeping on my chest

C
Laying here so still

       Am
Giving mom a chance to rest

        F
And I'm watching my world rise and fall

     Dm           Dm*
With every single breath

[Verse 2]

C
Looking down at you

            Am
And how you look so much like me

    C
And all I wanna do

            Am
Is give you everything you need

F              F/E           Gsus4
Son I know I'm gonna make mistakes

       F                 F/E        G      Gsus4*
But my love for you will never ever change

[Chorus]

        C          G/B     Am7
I don't ever wanna let you go

            Dm             C          G
But I can't wait to get to watch you grow

       C                G/B        Am7
And no matter what this life might bring

              Dm                 C      G
I want you to know that you will always be

                      F   Fadd9*
You will always be my son

[Verse 3]

    C
I'm picturing your life

        Am
How the years will all play out

    C
And whatever you do

               Am
Just know that I'm already proud

F                  F/E           G
Son, I know you're gonna make mistakes

       F                            Gsus4  G*
But my love for you will never ever change

[Chorus]

        C          G/B     Am7
I don't ever wanna let you go

            Dm             C          G
But I can't wait to get to watch you grow

       C                G/B        Am7
And no matter what this life might bring

              Dm                 C      G
I want you to know that you will always be

                      FM7 C
You will always be my son

[Bridge]

     G
From every scraped up knees

   C             F
To every broken dream

G
Wherever your road leads

        Am     G          F   F*
You can always come back home

[Chorus] (All single strums)

        C          G/B     Am7
I don't ever wanna let you go

            Dm             C          G
But I can't wait to get to watch you grow

       C                G/B        Am7
And no matter what this life might bring

              Dm                 C      G
I want you to know that you will always be

                      F   C
You will always be my son
