When we had a baby girl I was scared to death

They stuck to the back of my mind,

I hear you blowing in the trees at night,
D
I'm still sleeping on my own side.

Yeah, they said you'd never be prepared for the worst ones,

you took your bow, they dropped the curtains,
G
there's no encore, just me on the floor,
Waiting here for more.
