[Verse 1]
ESmiling all along but I was fakin'
F#mEach and every second I was breakin'
DI said that I was numb but I was achin' in my bonesA  
EThe panic in my heart is hard to breathe through
F#mThis the kinda thing they never teach you
DI never thought I'd ever have to leave you, on your Aown
[Chorus]
Baby, take Ecare of your heart
Every day that F#mI'm not with you
If you're ever sDcared of the dark
Remember, AI told you
Darling, I will Enever be far
Wherever you go F#mwhat you do
Baby, I was tDhere from the start
Remember, AI told you
[Verse 2]
EHonestly it hurts too much to say this
So F#mI will write it down and you can save it
And rDead it when I'm not around to say it for Amyself, yeah
ESavor every moment 'cause they go fast
The F#mfireworks are bright because they don't last
But Dpromise me you'll walk along your own path, no one Aelse's
[Chorus]
Baby, take Ecare of your heart
Every day that F#mI'm not with you
If you're ever sDcared of the dark
Remember, AI told you
Darling, I will Enever be far
Wherever you go F#mwhat you do
Baby, I was tDhere from the start
Remember, AI told you
[Bridge]
When you Bmbump your head
And then you F#mlose your thread
Darlin', DI'll be there
Remember, AI told you
From when it's Bmall child's play
To your wF#medding day
Even when the Dpictures fade
Remember, AI told you
[Chorus]
Baby, take Ecare of your heart
Every day that F#mI'm not with you
If you're ever sDcared of the dark
Remember, AI told you
Darling, I will Enever be far
Wherever you go F#mwhat you do
Baby, I was tDhere from the start
Remember, AI told you
Baby, take cEare of your heart
Every day that F#mI'm not with you
If you're ever Dscared of the dark
Remember, AI told you
Darling, I will nEever be far
Wherever you go F#mwhat you do
Baby, I was Dthere from the start
Remember, AI told you
