Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Bb Eb
Bb Eb

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

🎸

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

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

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

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

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