To Baby

C
C                                       Em
You gave me all the love that's necessary
                         Am
when two people try to find themselves,
C                        Em
love beyond all common sense
                                   Am
based on some sweet permanence
   F
with only one
Dm              G          C
and baby I thought I needed you
            Em
in a changing world
Dm          G           C
baby I thought I needed you

C

C                                      
Wanting some to give away,
Em
important things I had to say
     Am
for many days,
C                  Em
suddenly you came along
                          Am
helped me share my perfect song
   F
in perfect ways,
Dm            G             C
and baby I thought I needed you
        Em
in a changing world,
Dm           G      C
I thought I needed you

C
The closer that we drew together
Em
made our love seem like forever,
Am
naturally,
C                          Em
and then I heard you sing the song
                      Am
that I was singing all along
      F
and failed to see,
Dm
baby,
G                      C
the thing that I most fear
          Em         Dm
in a changing world:
     G           Ab     C#    G
  I saw you disappear
Ab     C#     
G      C

C                                           
Empty now and silently 
Em
I face your struggle to be free
Am
to be on your own,
C                Em
to grow so very carefully
                 Am
and suffer necessarily
     F
for what I've done
Dm               G           C
to baby who wants to know the thing
    Em        
in a changing world
Dm             G               C
to baby who's learning how to sing
