Intro: D G Bm A

Verse 1:
          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
         Bm               A             G
Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said

Chorus:
               D
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

Verse 2:
              D               G
Dad, we'll be late, and Uncle Sam don't like to wait
             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
Before I left, he hugged my neck and said

Chorus:
                D
Just 'cause you're 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 I might be here
         G                A
But I'll always be right there
                   G                A       D G Bm A D G A
Even though you're leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere

Bridge:
            D                G
Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
         D                                    A
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
      Bm         A        G
Daddy grabbed my hand and said

Chorus:
             D
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
It's okay, boy, I ain't scared
            D              G              A
I won't be here, but I'll always be right there
Bm              G                  A           D G
Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere
 G       A           D
I ain't goin' nowhere

2nd grade vibes ?

i have commented on this song to prove that it is possible to have someone that likes both BTS and One Direction. Thank you.

Monica

C, F and G are way easier! Try doing a repeated pattern of those three chords. Sounds great too! I love this song!

Sophia Guzman

The court of E is actually pretty hard. I can’t really get my fingers to stretch that far is there a different color for it I mean to replace that color?

JamesSommer
