Emily

Intro D 

 

 

 

 
 

     D 
Dear Emily 

I really wanna write this carefully 
A 
Now that we're a family 

It's only you, your mum, and me 
     Bm 
Dear Emily 

We're gonna live forever happily 
          G 
I'm gonna ask your mum to marry me 

But there's some things you need to know 
D 
  Your papa was a rolling stone 

Playing in a sold-out show, yeah 
A 
  Taking all the highs and the lows 

But living with an empty soul, yeah 
Bm 
   And if you ever read the things they wrote 

I hope that you can let them go 
G 
  I was living in a different world 

Before I had my little girl, yeah 
 

D 
Emily 
                                   A 
When I hear you cry, I'll sing you back to sleep 
                               Bm 
Do you know you inspire all my melodiеs? 

'Cause you make me a bеtter man 
                   G 
Than I'll ever be, ever be, ever be 

Because of you, Emily 


     D 
Dear Emily 

I saw you way before you came to me 
         A 
'Cause I picked out your name and wrote it on paper 

I needed life and life came 
            Bm 
And gave me Emily (It's all Emily) 

Will I be good enough for you? 
             G 
The truth is I'm afraid of everyone 

And anything that could hurt you 
 

    D 
Oh, Emily 
                                  A 
If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me 
                               Bm 
Since we brought you home with us, you're everything 

'Cause you make me a better man 
          G 
Than I'll ever be, ever be, ever be 

Because of you, Emily, yeah 

 

D                     A 
  Oh, you're all I'll ever need, baby 
           Bm 
I've been alive 
                     G 
You're all I'll ever need, oh no, no-no 
D          D/C# 
  When I'm looking at your tiny feet 
            Bm 
I feel your heartbeat here inside of me 
         G 
I feel a love that I just can't believe 



    D 
Oh, Emily 
                                   A 
When I hear you cry, I'll sing you back to sleep 
                                   Bm 
Oh, do you know you inspire all my melodies? 

'Cause you make me a better man 
          G 
Than I'll ever be, ever be, ever be 

Because of you, Emily 

Final 

    D 
Oh, Emily 
                                  A 
If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me 

Oh, since we brought you home with us 
       Bm 
You're everything, you're everything 

'Cause you make me a better man 
          G 
Than I'll ever be, ever be, ever be 

Because of you, Emily
