Verse 1:
Bb majorBb
I wasn’t ready when you came
And now that I feel you pull away
Eb MajorEb
I’m not ready to let you leave so soon
Bb majorBb
Your shoulders have been growing strong
And the heart within you beats for love
 Eb MajorEb                Bb majorBb
Of God and man, and still I want to hold you

Chorus:
   Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
I will stand by in case you need reminding
        Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb
I’ll leave the porch light always on for you
       Eb MajorEb               Bb majorBb
And when you need me, you’ll know where to find me
          Eb MajorEb
You can’t make me love you any less
              Bb majorBb
Love you any more than I do

Verse 2:
Bb majorBb
I see you sleeping like a child
But the babe’s been gone for a little while
  Eb MajorEb                Bb majorBb
And I’m still standing watch over your dreams
Eb MajorEb
I worry that you’ll take the lie
That tastes like truth without the bite
                     Bb majorBb
That you’ll believe that love is something easy

Chorus:
   Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
I will stand by in case you need reminding
        Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb
I’ll leave the porch light always on for you
       Eb MajorEb               Bb majorBb
And when you need me, you’ll know where to find me
          Eb MajorEb
You can’t make me love you any less
              Bb majorBb
Love you any more than I do

Bridge:
  Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
So run into the lapping waves
 Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb    FF
I know what is good may not always be safe
    Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb
And it isn’t I who shelters you anyway
     FF
You were never mine to keep
    Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb
but to carry for a few days

Outro:
Bb majorBb
I see you sleeping like a child
But the babe’s been gone for a little while
  Eb MajorEb                Bb majorBb
