[Intro/Chorus]
D Em
Don't you know I wish I was closer?
C
I'd be watching over,
D
and if you're too small to see
Em
I'll lift you on my shoulders
G C
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you
[Verse 1]
Em
I wanna be there in the morning,
C G
So I'm working through the night
Em
And I'll be smiling into your name
C G
When you're robbing those brown eyes
Em
And if you'll ever leave me, call me
C G
I wanna make sure you're alright
Bm Am Bm C
I don't wanna be so far from home
Em
You know you're daddy little soldier,
C G
and your mother's handsome knight
Em
No, don't you worry about darkness
C G
'Cause you're carrying the light!
Bm Am Bm C
And those shadows fall when you're around!
[Chorus]
D Em
Don't you know I wish I was closer?
C
I'd be watching over,
D
and if you're too small to see
Em
I'll lift you on my shoulders
G C
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you
[Verse 2]
Em C G
I want you close to me like sun birds on the trees
Em C G
'Cause when you're close to me my worries flee from me
Bm Am
'Cause when I'm with you my feet don't touch the ground
G Bm Am
No, I'm not a king but when I'm with you I feel like I'm wearing a crown
G Bm
For you I sing, for you I sing
Am Bm C
For you I sing
[Chorus] x2
D Em
Don't you know I wish I was closer?
C
I'd be watching over,

and if you're too small to see
Em
I'll lift you on my shoulders
G C
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you
[Outro]
D Em
Don't you know I wish I was closer?

I'd be watching over
