Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Looking  out my window
 See you playing in the leaves
 It's amazing  how a little girl
 Means all the world to me
 When I tell you  that I love you
 I love you more  than  words can  say
Smile,  say cheese pretty-please
 I wanna take your picture
How'd  you ever get so big
 I gotta take your picture
 Hold  on to the memory before the whole thing slips away
 I wish  I could save these  moments
 And put 'em in a jar
 I wish I could stop the  world from turning
 Keep things just the  way they are
 I wish I could shelter you  from everything
 Not pure  and sweet and good
 I know I can't,  I know I can't
 But I wish I could
 When you kiss me  for no reason
 It goes straight to my heart
 When I feel your  arms around me
 I almost fall apart
 It's time  for bed you whisper
 Daddy,  we forgot  to pray
 Repeat Choro.
 And when I watch  you sleeping
 All my worries  fade away
 A little bit  of heaven  glows  on your angelic  face
 I wish  I could save these  moments
 And put 'em in a jar
 I wish I could stop the  world from turning
 Keep things just the  way they are
 I wish I could shelter you  from everything
 Not pure  and sweet and good
 I know I can't,  I know I can't
 I know I can't,
 But I  wish I could
