CAPO 2ND FRET
G Em
Three a.m. on the clock, lullaby music box
C Am
Oh, baby please don't cry, let's let mama sleep tonight,
G Em
You've only been home one day, you don't even know your name,
C Am
tiny hand on my cheek, you're a miracle to me,
Em D
In the stillness of the night, cradled in this rocking chair,
Em D
I hold all my hopes and dreams, every single answered prayer.
CHOURS:
G G7
In my arms, wish I could hold you forever,
C Cadd9 Am
In my arms, I will give you shelter,
G G7
Still I know, I can't always be there,
C Cadd9 Am
To protect you from this great big old world,
C
But I swear this much is true,
D G
There'll always be a place for you, in my arms.
VERSE 2:
G Em
As I watch you take each breath, oh it scares me to death,
C Am
To know you're counting on me, to be the daddy that you need,
G Em
Wounded knees and broken hearts, learning how to drive a car,
C Am
when it's time for your first date, will I know just what to say,
Em D
And when you find that one true love, I'll put on my best smile,
Em D
and I'll try to hide my tears, as I walk you down the aisle
CHOURS 2x:
C
Oh, this promise I will keep
Am D G
as you finally fall asleep...in my arms
