 B
Well, I never meant to be the greatest
                             E
I only ever want to be your baby
                        F#                       B
Life is perfect in your arms, don’t ever let me go
    F#        E
To go anywhere

Should I stay, stay away?
I know you ain't out there tryin' to be my baby
God, help us, help us all
Don't ever let me down
You're always doing that

Should I stay, stay awake?
I know you ain't out there tryin' to be my baby
Life is perfect in your soul
Don't ever let me go
I could be your one and only

Well, I never meant to be the greatest
I know you ain't out there tryin' to be my baby
Come on, love me, come on
God, bring his ass on home
If you could do anything
