[Intro]
Am F Dm G

[Verse]
            Am             F  
Empty rooms ■  childhood's end
          Dm            G  
Forgotten toys upon the bed
           F                C            
Dreams and memories are all around me now
          G                    F   
And I can see you everywhere I look
           Am                  F 
But moving on is what you must do
          Dm           G 
Find your way be happy to
              F                        C         
Your world is waiting now and you need never know
             G             C 
Of all these places that I go
F                    E7               
To hear the laughter and dry the tears
Am                  F    
Remembering all the years
                      C 
When you were growing up
          Gsus4      G7          C     C7
And every photograph can take me there ■ 


[Chorus]
F                    E7 E         E7    
We brought you up to be proud and strong
    Am                
And ready for anything
                C      
Oh little child of mine
Gsus4      G        C    
■     What life can bring


[Verse]
F G Am                      F   
■ ■ Empty rooms when I left home
                 Dm              G 
I could not wait ■  to be moving on
                F                        C     
I never thought so much about those left behind
          G                  C  C7
But now I know how it has to be ■ 


[Chorus]
F                    E7               
To hear the laughter and dry the tears
Am                  F    
Remembering all the years
                      C 
When you were growing up
          Gsus4      G7             C     C7
And every photograph still takes me there ■ 
F                    E7                 
We brought you up to be proud and strong
Am                       
In everything that you do


[Outro]
   C                    Gsus4 G        Am 
Oh little child of mine ■     ■ I miss you
                   C    Gsus4 G          C
Oh little child of mine ■     I love you ■
F            C
■ I love you ■
