*Intrumental Intro*
G G, Em Em, C C, D D,

G G Em Em
I wish I could do better by you,
C C D D G G
Cause thats what you deserve.
Em Em
You sacrifice so much of your life,
C C D D G G
In order for this to work.


G G
While I'm off chasing my own dreams, (my own dreams)
Em Em
Sailing around the world, (around the world)
C C D D
Please know that I'm yours to keep,
G G
My beautiful girl.


G G Em Em
When you cry a piece of my heart dies,
C C D D G G
Knowing that I may have been the cause,
G G Em Em
If you were to leave, fulfil someone else's dreams,
C C D D G G
I think I might totally be lost.

G G
But you don't ask for no diamond rings, (diamond rings)
Em Em
No delicate string of pearls, (string of pearls)
C C D D
That's why I wrote this song to sing,
G G
My beautiful girl.

*Repeat same G G, Em Em, C C, D D pattern throughout the accapella Ooooh's"*

Strumming pattern

I would Capo 3, or just transpose the chords up 3 half-steps so it's just like the song. But this is nice too.
