 live CD.
  
 
 Intro
 
 D A7 G D
 
 
 D         A7               G              D
 We stayed awake while the whole world was sleeping
 G           D          Bm      A
 I told you stories you didn't understand
 D         A7               G              D
 Walking the floor just to stop your from crying
 G           D         G    A7   D
 You held my finger in your tiny hand
 
 D         A7             G            D
 I was so tired sometimes loving's not easy
 G                   D        Bm              A7
 Your mother she was sleeping weary from your cries
 D                A7            G              D
 I showed you the lights of the world from the window
 G            D                 G     A7      D
 And I saw my own light shining there in your eyes
 
 
 D        G              D           A7 D    G   D
 And it's up with in the morning and up with the night
 A             D             G        A7
 You have your own world you live in
 D         A7               G              D
 We stayed awake while the whole world was sleeping
 G          D              A7          D
 Me with my tired eyes and you full of life
 
 D                  A7        G             D
 And time will just fly by or so they keep saying
           G          D         Bm             A
 Well it's all new to me kid we learn it as we go
            D          A7            G                  D
 But you'll never fool me with your blue jeans and long dresses
 G            D          G    A7     D
 Just hold my finger and I'll always know ...
 
 D         A7               G              D
 We stayed awake while the whole world was sleeping
 G           D          Bm      A
 I told you stories you didn't understand
 D         A7               G              D
 Walking the floor just to stop your from crying
 G           D         G    A7   D
 You held my finger in your tiny hand
