[Intro]
Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb
[Verse 1]
Eb
I think you're the prettiest girl
Gm
Probably in the whole wide world
Bb
Sometimes I watch you brush your hair
You don't even know I'm there and I hear
Eb
"Baby, you don't wanna catch a cold"
Gm
As you're kneeling down and zipping up my coat
Eb Bb Eb Bb
You're always looking out for me, but your kiss upon my cheek
Eb Bb
Keeps me warmer than you know
[Chorus]
Ab
I've never had to find out what it's like to be alone
Eb
And as far as I know "mom" is just another word for home
Ab Eb Bb
They say I'm the spitting image of the one I look up to and I just smile
Eb Cm Ab
'Cause anyone can see it's true
Eb Bb Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb
I'm becoming me because of you, you
[Verse 2]
Eb
Chocolate ice cream melting down my chin
Gm
Ferris wheel goes round and round again
Bb
Happy birthday, make a wish
Can it always stay like this
Eb
Finally kissed those training wheels goodbye
Gm
But you've always made me feel like I could fly
Eb Bb
And when I fall and scrape my knee
Eb Cm Ab Eb
The first one running after me is you
Eb Bb
Saying, "Give it one more try"
[Chorus]
Ab
I've never had to find out what it's like to be alone
Eb
And as far as I know "mom" is just another word for home
Ab Eb Bb
They say I'm the spitting image of the one I look up to and I just smile
Eb Cm Ab
'Cause anyone can see it's true
Eb Bb Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb
I'm becoming me because of you, you
[Bridge]
Bb
And every morning I can hear you, talk to Jesus by your bed
Ab Eb
Well, you pray for me and for the strength to face the day ahead
Bb
And more than anything in this whole world, I wanna be like you
Ab Bb Cm Gm Eb
So, I talk to Jesus too
[Instrumental]
Eb Cm Ab Bb Eb Cm Ab Bb Cm Gm
[Verse 3]
Eb
I smell cookies baking in the kitchen
Gm
And you'll be calling me down any minute
Bb
So, I guess I'd better go, I just wanted you to know
Eb Cm Ab
Anyone can see it's true
Eb Bb Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb
I'm becoming me because of you, you
Eb Cm Ab Eb Bb Eb
Because of you, because of you
