[Intro] D Ooh [Verse] D Dear Emily I really wanna write this carefully A Now that we're a family It's only you, your mum, and me Bm Dear Emily We're gonna live forever happily G I'm gonna ask your mum to marry me But there's some things you need to know D Your papa was a rolling stone Playing in a sold-out show, yeah A Taking all the highs and the lows But living with an empty soul, yeah Bm And if you ever read the things they wrote I hope that you can let them go G I was living in a different world Before I had my little girl, yeah [Chorus] D Emily A When I hear you cry, I'll sing you back to sleep Bm Do you know you inspire all my melodiΠ΅s? 'Cause you make me a bΠ΅tter man than G I'll ever be, ever be, ever be Because of you, Emily [Verse] D Dear Emily I saw you way before you came to me A 'Cause I picked out your name and wrote it on paper I needed life and life came and Bm gave me Emily (It's all Emily) Will I be good enough for you? G The truth is I'm afraid of everyone and anything that could hurt you [Chorus] D Oh, Emily A If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me Bm Since we brought you home with us, you're everything 'Cause you make me a better man than G I'll ever be, ever be, ever be Because of you, Emily, yeah [Bridge] D A Oh, you're all I'll ever need, baby Bm I've been alive G You're all I'll ever need, oh no, no-no D D/C# When I'm looking at your tiny feet Bm I feel your heartbeat here inside of me G I feel a love that I just can't believe [Chorus] D Oh, Emily A When I hear you cry, I'll sing you back to sleep Bm Oh, do you know you inspire all my melodies? 'Cause you make me a better man than G I'll ever be, ever be, ever be Because of you, Emily [Outro] D Oh, Emily A If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me Oh, since we brought you home with us, Bm you're everything, you're everything 'Cause you make me a better man than G I'll ever be, ever be, ever be Because of you, Emily
