G             G/F#  Em                 C           D    G
I wish I could do better by you 'cause that's what you deserve,
G                G/F# Em              C         D       G
You sacrifice so much of your life in order for this to work.

While I'm out chasin' my own dreams,
Em
Sailin' around the world,

be lost.


[Chorus]
G                               G/F#
You don't ask for no diamond rings,
Em
No delicate string of pearls,
C                               D                  G
That's why I wrote this song to sing, my beautiful girl.
