[Verse 1]
F#mI've been coming home late night
I've been sleeping past day light
I'm waking up you're not by my side
Baby that ain't right
AI wanna be there with you
I really do be missing you
Everything I do is for you
And I really do adore you
BmYou're getting so big now
You're making me so proud cause
You are such a star
And you know that you are
F#mSo every single little moment
I can't be there to hold your hand
EI need for you to know that
I need for you to know that
BmAnything should happen, anything should happen
Cause anything could, if anything should happen
AKnow that you'll be alright, know that you'll be alright

EJust promise you'll be alright, promise you'll be alright
BmIf anything (Alright, promise I'll be alright)

F#mSwear that I can still feel you here
I just can't believe you're not here

All I dream is you
ADon't think I can make it

EBut then I hear you say that
I bet not do nothing crazy
BmCause Nami really needs you
And I would never leave you
Cause I am in the stars
And everywhere you are
AAnd every single little moment
Every single bit of sunshine just
EKnow that I am right by your side
Know that you are right by my side

You don't ever have to worry 'bout me
No, you don't ever have to worry 'bout me

And you better believe that nothing holding me back
ASo everything is alright, everything is alright
