[Part 1]
F I held you
Cm7/E I rocked you to sleep
C It'd take a long tiDm7me but eventually you'd go
F And I'd try to get out
Cm7/E Of the rocking chair
C With you in my armDm7s
F I'd get you to your crib
Cm7/E Slowly lower you down
C Then pull my hands awayDm7, as if from a bomb
[Part 2]
Fadd9 Then I'd step away
C One step at a time
G The floors were full of sAm7ounds, all the creaks for time
Fadd9 Then I'd get to the door
C Open it carefully
G Tryin' back out of the rAmoom so quietly
Cm7/E C Dm7
F When I got to the door
Cm7/E Closed to within an inch
C That's when you'd come awake
Dm7 As if you'd been watchFadd9in' me
Watching me the whole time
C As if you waited to see
G If I truly intAm7ended, just to let you be
Fadd9 Just to leave
C Just to leave you alone
G Just to leave you aloFne
[Part 3]
