Am F
Little girl you're still far too young
To have a heart that's been so broken
It might seem like you ain't got no one
G F
Well I'm here for you
Am F
Told your mama before she died
That I'd stay right by your side
C Am
I had to leave for just a little while
G F
But I'm here for you
C Am G F
Am F
Hardest part there is about dying
Are the ones who get left behind
I know your mama wouldn't want you crying
G F
So I'm here for you
Am F
I loved your mama more than she loved me
When you were born I was far from Tennessee
C Am
I came back home to hold you close to me
G F
Now I'm here for you
C Am G F
G F
You're far too precious to lose
I only want what's best for you
And that might not include me
Am F
Well I know it's true
G F
I'm here for you
