EbI think you're the prettiest girl
GmProbably in the whole wide world
BbSometimes I watch you brush your hair
You don't even know I'm there and I hear
Eb"Baby, you don't wanna catch a cold"
GmAs you're kneeling down and zipping up my coat
EbYou're always looBbking out for me, Ebbut your kiss Bbupon my cheek
EbKeeps me warmer Bbthan you know
[Chorus]
AbI've never had to find out what it's like to be alone
EbAnd as far as I know "mom" is just another word for home
AbThey say I'm the spitting image of the one I look up to and EbI just Bbsmile

[Intro]

Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb

[Verse 1]

I think you're the prettiest girl

Probably in the whole wide world

Sometimes I watch you brush your hair

You don't even know I'm there and I hear

"Baby, you don't wanna catch a cold"

As you're kneeling down and zipping up my coat

Eb Bb Eb Bb

You're always looking out for me, but your kiss upon my cheek

Eb Bb

Keeps me warmer than you know

[Chorus]

I've never had to find out what it's like to be alone

And as far as I know "mom" is just another word for home

Ab Eb Bb

They say I'm the spitting image of the one I look up to and I just smile

Eb Cm Ab

'Cause anyone can see it's true

Eb Bb Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb

I'm becoming me because of you, you

[Verse 2]

Chocolate ice cream melting down my chin

Ferris wheel goes round and round again

Happy birthday, make a wish

Can it always stay like this

Finally kissed those training wheels goodbye

But you've always made me feel like I could fly

Eb Bb

And when I fall and scrape my knee

Eb Cm Ab Eb

The first one running after me is you

Eb Bb

Saying, "Give it one more try"

[Chorus]

I've never had to find out what it's like to be alone

And as far as I know "mom" is just another word for home

Ab Eb Bb

They say I'm the spitting image of the one I look up to and I just smile

Eb Cm Ab

'Cause anyone can see it's true

Eb Bb Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb

I'm becoming me because of you, you

[Bridge]

And every morning I can hear you, talk to Jesus by your bed

Ab Eb

Well, you pray for me and for the strength to face the day ahead

And more than anything in this whole world, I wanna be like you

Ab Bb Cm Gm Eb

So, I talk to Jesus too

[Instrumental]

Eb Cm Ab Bb Eb Cm Ab Bb Cm Gm

[Verse 3]

I smell cookies baking in the kitchen

And you'll be calling me down any minute

So, I guess I'd better go, I just wanted you to know

Eb Cm Ab

Anyone can see it's true

Eb Bb Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb

I'm becoming me because of you, you

Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb

Because of you, because of you
