Verse 1
G 
D 
 (G major)  (D major) I wonder if you knew
Bm 
all I was going through that  (B minor) day
G 
The way I  (G major) held you in my arms
D 
and wouldn't  (D major) let go
Could you feel the heaviness
of my lingering loneliness
Bm 
As I  (B minor) tucked you in
G 
D 
And I  (G major) sing to you so low  (D major)

I wonder what you thought
Bm 
when you handed me that  (B minor) money
G 
Just a  (G major) wad of cash
D 
that your parents had stashed just for  (D major) me
I wonder if you'll look back and think
Bm 
that all of that was  (B minor) funny
G 
Or was it  (G major) just life for you then
D 
and just life for me?  (D major)

Every day that passes you're on my mind  (B minor) 
G 
I think of  (G major) us, think of them,
think of how, think of when, think of now
D 
 (D major) I don't know how life will unfold
Bm 
for you or me?  (B minor) 
G 
Maybe  (G major) here, maybe there,
maybe us somewhere,
D 
just  (D major) somehow.
Cause oh my child,
