lyrics

[G] I get a paycheck [C] every Friday [G]
[G] most of its spent on a [C] mountainous bank [G] loan
[C] I put away a little for her : In a jar for when she gets [G] home
[D7] I spend my days in [C] hopes that she’s not [G] alone
I spend [D7] most of my days in [C] hopes that she’s not [G] alone

[G] She used climb up [C] on my shoulders [G]
[G] When she was tired of [C] hiking on her [G] own
[C] I’d carry her for several hours : Like I was a walking [G] throne
[D7] That was my princess but [C] now she’s all [G] grown
[D7] She was my princess but [C] now she’s all [G] grown

[C] She would spend her [D7] time around the [G] fire
Sharing [C] stories from a [D7] life inside her [G] head
[C] I would give the [D7] world to see her [G] smile a[C]gain
But for [G] now I pour a [D7] toast to her in[G]stead

Verse Break

[G] Now I walk our trail [C] every Sunday [G]
[G] I’m looking for some place where [C] memories can’t [G] hide
[C] Some days I imagine that I see her : Beside me matching my [G] stride
[D7] I spend my days in [C] hopes that she’s still a{G]live
[D7] I spend my days in [C] hopes that she’s still a{G]live in[C]side [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] Enchanted by the [D7] flames
[G] Playing our little [C] games
Life has taken [D7] us for a [G] ride

[C] She would spend her [D7] time around the [G] fire
Sharing [C] stories from a [D7] life inside her [G] head
[C] I would give the [D7] world to see her [G] smile a[C]gain
And [G] spend more time with [D7] her around the [G] fire
