Lyrics

[Intro]
| A - - - | C#m/G# - - - | F#m - - - | Dmaj7 - - E |

[Verse 1]
A                      C#m/G#
Dear Theodosia, what to      say to you?
F#m
   You have my eyes.
    Dmaj7
You have your mother's name
E        A
When you came into the world,
         C#m/G#               F#m
you cried      and it broke my   heart
Dmaj7
E A                   C#m/G#
  I'm dedicating every      day to you
F#m                  Dmaj7
   Domestic life was never quite my style
E       A      C#m/G#
When you smile,      you knock me out,
        F#m
I fall apart
                      Dmaj7
And I thought I was so     smart

[Chorus]
E        A                            C#m/G#
You will come of age with our young nation
                F#m
We'll bleed and fight for you,
              Dmaj7
we'll make it right for you
E     A                         C#m/G#
If we lay a strong enough foundation
              F#m
We'll pass it on to you,
               Dmaj7
we'll give the world to you
                   E
And you'll blow us all away…
A    C#m/G#    F#m
 Someday,  someday
Dmaj7                     E
     Yeah, you'll blow us all away
A    C#m/G#    F#m Dmaj7 E
 Someday,  someday

[Verse 2]
A   C#m/G#                        F#m
 Oh Philip, when you smile I am undone
  Dmaj7
My     son
     E    A
Look at my son.
C#m/G#                            F#m
Pride is not the word I'm looking for
                 Dmaj7             E
There is so much more inside me now
A   C#m/G#
 Oh Philip,
                        F#m
you outshine the morning   sun
  Dmaj7
My     son
E       A      C#m/G#
When you smile,      I fall apart
F#m                      Dmaj7     E
   And I thought I was so     smart

[Bridge]
D                 E
 My father wasn't around
D                 E
 My father wasn't around
D
 I swear that
        E     D   E
I'll be around for you
D                 E
 I'll do whatever it takes
D                    E
 I'll make a million mistakes
D                         E        D    E     D E
 I'll make the world safe and sound for you…

[Chorus]
     A                            C#m/G#
Will come of age with our young nation
                F#m
We'll bleed and fight for you,
              Dmaj7
we'll make it right for you
E     A                         C#m/G#
If we lay a strong enough foundation
              F#m
We'll pass it on to you,
               Dmaj7
we'll give the world to you
                   E          A
And you'll blow us all away...
    C#m/G#    F#m
Someday,  someday
Dmaj7             E
     Yeah, you'll blow us all away
A    C#m/G#    F#m Dmaj7 A
 Someday,  someday
