For My Child chords by Christa Wells
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
