          D                   G
Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
        D                                  A
Keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside
                    D            G
Daddy, please don't go, I don't wanna be alone
            D                                    A
'Cause the second that you're gone they're gonna know

Just 'cause I'm leavin'
        G                 Bm               A
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
         D
When you need me
         G                  Bm            A
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
               D                G
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
       Bm                 A                   D
It's okay, I know you're scared when I'm not here
         G                A
But I'll always be right there
                G                      A      D G Bm A
Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere

             D                                      A
He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me far away
               D                    G
I know I act tough, but there's a churnin' in my gut
         D                                        A
'Cause I just can't call you up when things get rough
         Bm               A            G

But I'll always be right there

I never thought I'd see the day I had to say goodbye
                   D             G
Daddy, please don't go, I can't do this on my own
           D                              A
There's no way that I can walk this road alone

I won't be here, but I'll always be right there
