[Verse] AmF May these words be the first C To find your ears. AmF The world is brighter than the sun C Now that you’re here. AmFCG Though your eyes will need some time to adjust AmFC To the overwhelming light surrounding us,
[Chorus] AmF I’ll give you everything I have. C I’ll teach you everything I know.
I promise I’ll do better. AmF I will always hold you close, C But I will learn to let you go.
I promise I’ll do better. AmF I will soften every edge, C I’ll hold the world to its best,
And I’ll do better. AmF With every heartbeat I have left C I will defend your every breath, G And I’ll do better.
[Bridge] Am ’?ause you are loved. EmC You are loved more than you know. AmEm I hereby pledge all of my days C To prove it so. AmGC Though your heart is far too young to realize AmGC The unimaginable light you hold inside,
[Chorus] AmG I’ll give you everything I have. C I’ll teach you everything I know.
I promise I’ll do better. AmG I will always hold you close, C But I will learn to let you go.
I promise I’ll do better. AmF I will rearrange the stars, C Pull ‘em down to where you are.
I promise, I’ll do better. AmF With every heartbeat I have left, C I’ll defend your every breath.
I promise I’ll do better. AmF I will soften every edge, C Hold the world to its best.
I promise I’ll do better. AmF With every heartbeat I have left, C I’ll defend your every breath,
