Closer

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 

                        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!

          G                 C 
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you 

                                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 
          D    Bm   C 
For you I sing
