(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(A) / / / |(Bm) / / / |(G) / / / |

(Verse 1)
I'm (D)smothered in questions, gasping for answers
God, the damn (A)bank, it's breathing down my neck from the
Price of (Bm)gas and another damn war
To all the broken (G)things 'round here that I ain't fixed yet
Maybe they'll (D)lock us up like they did back in '019
And now I'm (A)older, I'm weak, I got an extra mouth to feed
And I was (Bm)supposed to be prepared and have the right things to say
I'm meant to (G)be the one to chase the monsters away
It's (D)3 a.m. again and I'm drowning in self-doubt
And (A)all I can think about is how I'm gonna let 'em down
(Bm) My tears fall all too easily
And that's the (G)momеnt I feel her little eyеs watchin' me

(Chorus)
(D) Baby, go back to sleep
(A) You don't have to worry 'bout (Bm)me
There'll be plenty of time for the (G)sleepless nights
But for (G)now I'll take care of things
(D) Baby, I'll sing you to sleep (D)
Rest your head next to me (Bm)
There'll be plenty of time for the (G)sleepless nights
But for now, baby, just sleep

(Post-Chorus)
|(D) / / / |(A) / / / |(Bm) / / / |
(G)Baby, go back to sleep, Daddy is all you need

(Verse 2)
(D) So I'll say the words I've said a thousand times
(A) "Don't worry, baby, it's gonna be alright" and I
(Bm) Take her little hand in mine
And we hide (G)under the covers and I hold her tight
(D) Let's be careful not to make a sound
Don't wanna (A)wake your mama or your sister now
Hey, your (Bm)daddy wasn't even crying, you see
And we can (G)make it through as long as we
Stick to-(D)gether forever as a family should
If we lose (A)sight of each other you can rest assured
That (Bm)love's gonna be your true guiding light
And (G)bring you home through the night

(Chorus)
(D) Baby, go back to sleep
(A) You don't have to worry 'bout (Bm)me
There'll be (Bm)plenty of time for the (G)sleepless nights
But for (Bm)now I'll take care of things
(D) Baby, I'll sing you to sleep (A)
Rest your head next to me (Bm)
There'll be plenty of time for the (G)sleepless nights
But for (NC)now, baby, just sleep

(Post-Chorus)
|(D) / / / |(A) / / / |(Bm) / / / |
(G)Baby, go back to sleep, Daddy is all you need

(Bridge)
My (D)anxiety's relentlessly beating me down
Said (A)I don't belong here on this side of town
(Bm)Screams in my ears are gonna mess it all up
But I'll (G)find my own voice and the power to speak up

(Refrain)
(D) You don't have to (A)worry
You don't have to (Bm)worry 'bout me
(G)Baby, go back to sleep, Daddy is all you need
(D) You don't have to worry
(A) All you gotta do is (Bm)sleep
All you gotta do is
(G)Baby, go back to sleep, Daddy is all you need
