[Verse 1]
E C#sus2
Here we are, you and me and my guitar
A Am
Let's write a pretty lullaby so you can fall asleep at night
E C#sus2
While I'm out in the world making people smile
A
Tomorrow I'll be on a flight
Am E
[Pre-Chorus]
C#sus2
Don't you grow until I'm nearby
A
On the phone it doesn't feel right
Am
I don't want to miss it
[Chorus]
E C#sus2
Even on the worst day just looking at your face
A Am
Is all it takes to cancel out any pain I know
Life can throw anything
E C#sus2
At me, I'm not backing, I'll keep you safe
A Am
No matter what I will follow, follow through
[Verse 2]
E C#sus2
Terrified, the second you arrived
A
But then you held my finger tight
Am E
Your little smile destroyed everything bad I had inside
C#sus2
Now you be good tonight
A
Will you sing your lullaby
Am E
When mama carries everything and I stand in the lights
[Pre-Chorus]
C#sus2
Don't you grow until I'm nearby
A
On the phone it doesn't feel right
Am
I don't want to miss it
[Chorus]
E C#sus2
Even on the worst day just looking at your face
A Am
Is all it takes to cancel out any pain I know
Life can throw anything

At me, I'm not backing, I'll keep you safe
A Am
No matter what I will follow, follow through

Maybe one day we'll all be singing

Your lullaby, your lullaby

And music boxes everywhere be playing

Your lullaby, your lullaby, Hayley's lullaby
C#sus2 A Am
[Chorus]
E C#sus2
Even on the worst day just looking at your face

Is all it takes to cancel out any pain I know
Life can throw anything

At me, I'm not backing, I'll keep you safe

No matter what I will follow, follow through

Life can throw anything
