[Verse 1: Regina Spektor] C Em A F
C                       Em
Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?

Am                    F
You have my eyes, you have your mother's name

          C                             Em
When you came into the world, you cried

                    Am F
And it broke my heart

C                    Em
I'm dedicating every day to you

Am                F
Domestic life was never quite my style

         C
When you smile

Em                        Am
You knock me out, I fall apart

                      F
And I thought I was so smart
[Pre-Chorus: Regina Spektor & Ben Folds]
          C                          Em
You will come of age with our young nation

                Am                            F
We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right for you

       C                       Em
If we lay a strong enough foundation

              Am                         F
We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you
[Chorus: Regina Spektor]
                         C
And you'll blow us all away…

     Em       Am    F
Someday, someday

                           C
Yeah, you'll blow us all away

    Em        Am
Someday, someday
[Bridge: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, together]
C
My father wasn't around

Em
My father wasn't around

Am                    F         G
I swear that I'll be around for you

C
I'll do whatever it takes

Em
I'll make a million mistakes

Am                           F         G
I'll make the world safe and sound for you…
[Pre-Chorus: Regina Spektor, Ben Folds]
    C                              Em
...Will come of age with our young nation

                 Am                          F
We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right for you

       C                       Em
If we lay a strong enough foundation

              A
We'll pass it on to you (on to you)

               F
We'll give the world to you (world to you)
[Outro: Regina Spektor]
                        C
And you'll blow us all away...

     Em  Am      F
Someday, someday

                          C
Yeah, you'll blow us all away

     Em       Am
Someday, someday
