D# Dear Emily I really wanna write this carefully A# Now that we're a family It's only you, your mum, and me Cm Dear Emily We're gonna live forever happily G# I'm gonna ask your mum to marry me But there's some things you need to know Your papa was a rolling stone Playing in a sold-out show, yeah Taking all the highs and the lows But living with an empty soul, yeah And if you ever read the things they wrote I hope that you can let them go I was living in a different world Before I had my little girl, yeah Chorus: D# Emily A# When I hear you cry, I'll sing you back to sleep Cm Do you know you inspire all my melodies? G# 'Cause you make me a better man than I'll ever be, ever be, ever be Because of you, Emily Dear Emily I saw you way before you came to me 'Cause I picked out your name and wrote it on paper I needed life and life came and gave me Emily (It's all Emily) Will I be good enough for you? The truth is I'm afraid of everyone and anything that could hurt you Chorus: Oh, Emily If you ever feel lonely, just sit next to me Since we brought you home with us, you're everything 'Cause you make me a better man than I'll ever be, ever be, ever be Because of you, Emily, yeah D# A# Oh, you're all I'll ever need, baby Cm I've been alive G# You're all I'll ever need, oh no, no-no D# A#/D When I'm looking at your tiny feet Cm I feel your heartbeat here inside of me G# I feel a love that I just can't believe Chorus: Oh, Emily When I hear you cry, I'll sing you back to sleep Oh, do you know you inspire all my melodies?
