[Verse 1]
A C#m
I’ll give you everything I never had

I hope you know that
Bm
But now I have it, I don’t need it
It’s important that you see it
F#m E*
Money often makes a never-home dad
A
Is it worth all the times when I’m never here?
C#m
Is it worth it when daddy can’t dry your tears?
Bm
Is it life or just a living?
Kids and wife is not a given
F#m E
I wish I could be a stay-at-home dad

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
And all the dreams I had
E
I still see them in your eyes

[Chorus]
A C#m
Now you can hurt me more than I’ve ever been hurt before
And I’ve been hurt before
Bm
I live, I live, I live
F#m E*
I live like this forever
A C#m
I still have all the wounds he left but they don’t hurt no more
Like they hurt before
Bm
I wish, I wish, I wish
F#m E
I wish that he could have seen you

[Verse 2]
A C#m
I’m gonna miss the most important things
And I know that
Bm
Your first words, a couple steps
At least we got so many left
F#m E*
Your mom’s so good, she’ll never made me look bad
A
‘Cause she knows all the times when I’m far from home
C#m
In a room full of people but all alone
Bm
It gets me thinking when we’re smoking and we’re drinking
F#m E
I wish I could be a stay-at-home dad

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
And all the dreams I had
E
I still see them in your eyes

[Bridge]
D F#m E
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh—oh
Bm E
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

I wish that he could have seen you

[Outro]
A C#m
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh—oh
Bm F#m
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh—oh
A

How to play Lullaby: key, chords and progression

Lullaby by Lukas Graham sits in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: A, C#m, Bm, F#m, E and D.

Listen for A – C#m – Bm – F#m (I – iii – ii – vi in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – mi – reh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, Bm, Am, Em, D, C (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
