[Verse 1]
G         Em
I was born,
     F#m       G               Em
In a sudden embrace, I’m awake,
     F#m       G                Em
So I study the shape of your face,
    F#m              G
You take what you’re given,
              Em        F#m      
“I only wanna do what’s good for 
G
you”.


[Verse 2]
G           Em
Then at once,
     F#m         G          
I’m checking the doors and my 
        Em
weight,
  F#m           G                 Em
I can’t keep my hands from my face,
        F#m          G
I said, “mom, I’m so sorry”,
G
She smiled and said,
            Em                G
“Darling, I don’t want you to worry 
‘cus,


[Chorus]
G           Em           F#m    
I’m on your side for the rest of
      Bm
 your life,
       G         Em              
You’ll never be alone, don’t you 
F#m      G
worry my child,
G                  Em    F#m    
And now there’s an empty room 
      Bm
you outgrew,
Continues after the ad
        G        Em
But I’m here for you,
     F#m            Bm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh”

[Bridge]
G             A  Bm  F#m
And I’ve known,
    Bm             F#m             
The feeling you’ve had when you’re 
G    A  Bm  F#m
held,
    Bm         F#m     G    A  
The comfort of being unwell,
Bm  F#m

   Bm            F#m
So something can cradle you,
G     A     Bm   F#m
Oh, I don’t need it,
G           Em
Oh, I won’t grieve it.


[Chorus]
G           Em           F#m    
I’m on your side for the rest of
      Bm
 your life,
       G         Em              
You’ll never be alone, don’t you 
F#m      G
worry my child,
G                  Em    F#m    
And now there’s an empty room 
      Bm

        G        Em
But I’m here for you,
     F#m            Bm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh”

I’m on your side for the rest of

 your life,

You’ll never be alone, don’t you

worry my child,

And now there’s an empty room
