[Intro]
F C Dm G C
(Strum)
A C
[Verse 1]
F C Dm G C
If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
D C G Am
And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are
F C Dm G C
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream
D C G Am
To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star
F C Dm G C
I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever
D C
And though I can’t guarantee there’s nothing scary
G Am
hiding under your bed
F C Dm G C
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
D C G Am
And never leave ‘til I leave you with a sweet dream in your bed
[Chorus]
C F
I'm gonna watch you shine
C
Gonna watch you grow
F
Gonna paint a sign
C
So you'll always know
F C
As long as one and one is two
F C
There could never be a father
Am G Am
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
[Verse 2]
C
Trust your intuition
N.C.
It’s just like goin’ fishin’
D C G Am
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
F C Dm G
But you don’t need to waste your time
C
Worryin’ about the marketplace
N.C.
Try to help the human race
D C G Am
Struggling to survive its harshest night
[Interlude]
F G Am F G Am F G Am F G Am F G
[Chorus]
C F
I'm gonna watch you shine
C
Gonna watch you grow

Gonna paint a sign

So you'll always know

As long as one and one is two

There could never be a father
Am G Am
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
