[Intro] Am G C (x2) Am Em C (x2) Am G C (x4) [Verse]

          Am           F
May these words be the first

             C
To find your ears.

             Am                F
The world is brighter than the sun

                C
Now that you’re here.

            Am                   F         C     G
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust

        Am            F                C
To the overwhelming light surrounding us,

[Chorus]

Am                         F
I’ll give you everything I have.

                             C
I’ll teach you everything I know.

I promise I’ll do better.

Am                       F
I will always hold you close,

                            C
But I will learn to let you go.

I promise I’ll do better.

Am                   F
I will soften every edge,

                             C
I’ll hold the world to its best,

And I’ll do better.

Am                           F
With every heartbeat I have left

                          C
I will defend your every breath,

                      G
And I’ll do better.

[Bridge]

                Am
’Сause you are loved.

         F                   C
You are loved more than you know.

         Am               F
I hereby pledge all of my days

             C
To prove it so.

            Am                G           C
Though your heart is far too young to realize

       Am         G                C
The unimaginable light you hold inside,

[Chorus]

Am                         G
I’ll give you everything I have.

                            C
I’ll teach you everything I know.

I promise I’ll do better.

Am                     G
I will always hold you close,

                            C
But I will learn to let you go.

I promise I’ll do better.

Am                    F
I will rearrange the stars,

                           C
Pull ‘em down to where you are.

I promise, I’ll do better.

Am                          F
With every heartbeat I have left,

                       C
I’ll defend your every breath.

I promise I’ll do better.

Am                  F
I will soften every edge,

                      C
Hold the world to its best.

I promise I’ll do better.

Am                          F
With every heartbeat I have left,

                       C
I’ll defend your every breath,

(I’ll do better.)
