A#That's (x1333x@1)all I wanted
                              G#Something (xx1114@1)special, something sacred
          A#In (x1333x@1)your eyes

For just one moment
                G#To (xx1114@1)be bold and naked

At your side
F# (244322@1)                           G#Sometimes (xx1114@1)I think that you'll never
       A#Understand (x1333x@1)me
F# (244322@1)                  G#Maybe (xx1114@1)this time is forever
        FSay (133211@1)it can be


That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy


(Baby)
A#I (x1333x@1)will be your father figure
(Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine

(I'd love to)
G#I (xx1114@1)will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind

(It would make me)
A#I (x1333x@1)will be your father figure
(Very happy)
I have had enough of crime

(Please let me)
G#I (xx1114@1)will be the one who loves you
                  A#Until (x1333x@1)the end of time



That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyed shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong


I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time


F# (244322@1)            G#If (xx1114@1)you are the desert
             F#I'll (244322@1)be the sea
F# (244322@1)         G#If (xx1114@1)you ever hunger
            F#Hunger (244322@1)for me
F# (244322@1)              G#Whatever (xx1114@1)you ask for
                  F (133211@1) F#That's (244322@1)what I'll be
               G# (xx1114@1)                     F#So (244322@1)when you remember the ones who have lied
                    G#Who (xx1114@1)said that they cared?
                          F#But (244322@1)then laughed as you cried
           G#Beautiful (xx1114@1)Darling
FDon't (133211@1)think of me
                    A# (x1333x@1)(solo) G#Because (xx1114@1)all I ever wanted
              A# (x1333x@1)             G#It's (xx1114@1)in your eyes baby, baby
                A#And (x1333x@1)love can't lie, no...
   F# (244322@1)            G# (xx1114@1)            A#(Greet (x1333x@1)me with the eyes of a child)
                             F#My (244322@1)love is always tell me to...
                          G#(Heaven (xx1114@1)is a kiss and a smile)
          FJust (133211@1)hold on, hold on
                        A#I (x1333x@1)won't let you go, my baby




I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
(So I am gonna love you)
Until the end of time
I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I will be your daddy
I will be the one who loves you until the end of time

I am not sure solo is correct but it's better than nothing, don't you
think?
