Intro 
G  D     G  D 


 
         G         D         G           D 
I could lay right here underneath these sheets 
     G           D                                A 
All night while you and my right arm both fall asleep 

        G       D         G           D 
Staring at the flowers I just bough-ought you 
G        D                 A             D 
It just hit me, girl, what I was born to do 
 

 
               G                  D 
You'll be the roses, I'll be the vase 
               G 
You'll be the starry night and the spotlight 
     D                 A 
And girl, I'll be the frame 

               Bm         A 
You'll be the California cab 
                                 E/Ab 
I'll be the glass you're pointing to 

           G                        D    G  D 
Girl, I'm fine long as I'm holding you 
 

 
      G        D       G      D 
Some men were made to make a name 
 G      D                                A 
Wind up in some history book or hall of fame 

  G        D           G        D 
I used to think maybe that'd be me 
     G      D                  A                  D 
But when I found you, I found what I was meant to be 
 

 
               G                  D 
You'll be the roses, I'll be the vase 
               G 
You'll be the starry night and the spotlight 
     D                 A 
And girl, I'll be the frame

             a                    E7

Girl, I'm fine long as I'm holding you 
         Gm             Bm 
Like the sky holds the moon 
        A               G 
Like a bible holds the truth 
       D/F#                    Em7          A7 
Yeah, that's a promise you can hold me to, yeah 
 

 
               G                  D 
You'll be the roses, I'll be the vase 
               G 
You'll be the starry night and the spotlight

And girl, I'll be the frame 

   Bm7              F#             A           E/Ab 
I swear if it's the only thing in life I get to do
