Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C][G]
[Am][B][Em][C#dim]
[Dsus4][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Looking out my window
I see you playing in the leaves
[C]It's amazing how a little girl
Means all the world to me
When I [Dsus4]tell you that I lo[D]ve you
I love you more than words can say
[G]

[Verse 2]
Smile, say cheese, say pretty please
I wanna take your picture
[C]How'd you ever get so big?
I've gotta take your picture
[Dsus4]Hold on to the memo[D]ry
Before the whole [Dsus4]thing
[D]slips away
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[Dsus4]I wish I could save thes[G]e moments
And [Bm]put 'em [G]in a jar
I wish I could [C]stop the world
from turning
Keep things [Dsus4]just the way they are[D]

[Verse 4]
I wish I could [Em]shelter you from everything
Not [G]pure and sweet and [C#dim]good
I know I can[Am]'t, I know I can[Dsus4]'t
But I wish I could
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
[Em][C#dim][Dsus4]
[D]When you kis[G]s me for no reason
It goes straight [Gsus4]to my hea[F]rt
[G]When I fee[C]l your arms aro[B]und me
I [Em]almost fall [A]apart
[Asus4]It's time for [D]bed a[Dsus4]nd you whisper[C]
[D]"Daddy, we [G]for[Am]got to [Dsus4]pray,[G]
[Am]whoa"[Dsus4]
I [D]wish I could

[Verse 6]
[G]save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could [C]stop the world
from turning
Keep things [Dsus4]just the way they are[D]

[Verse 7]
I wish I could [Em]shelter you from everything
Not [Dsus4]pure and swee[G]t and good[C#dim]
I know I can[Am]'t, I know I can[Dsus4]'t
But I wish [G]I could, [Em]oh[F#m]

[Verse 8]
And [Bm]when I watch you sleep[D]ing
[B]All my wor[Em]ries fade [D]away
A [C]little [F]bit [Am]of heaven
[F]Glows on [G]your angelic [Esus4]face
I wish [E]I could save

[Verse 9]
[A]these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could [D]stop the world from turning
Keep things [Esus4]just the way they are[E]

[Verse 10]
I wish I could [F#m]shelter you from everything
Not [A]pure [Esus4]and sweet[A] and good[B]
I know I can[Bm]'t, I know I[A] can't,
I [D]know [Esus4]I can't
But I wish I could, ooh,
[E]I w[D]ish[A][Bm][C#][F#m][Ebdim][D][Esus4]
I could
