Topic: Rise ( A song I wrote for my grandchildren.)

Rise     (Capo 3rd fret)

Am

Verse 1
Cadd9                                         Em7 (no 5th)/G 
You fill my life with gladness, with every year that passes 
G6/E                                    Em
Just one smile from you, Blows my heart away
Cadd9                              Em7 (no 5th)/G 
Looking to your future, fills me with sadness           
G6/E                    Em   
But I will never, Bow my head in shame.

Pre Chorus
F/C                                              Em/B
I want to tear this false world down,
G                                    G7
Make it beautiful for you.  I will,

Chorus
Am             Fmaj7/A
Rise,          (rise)
C/G                                 Gadd11
I give you all I’ve got, I’ll never let you down, I will
Am             Fmaj7/A
Rise            (rise)
C/G                               Gadd11            Am
I will give my life for you,         I will rise, Rise.

Verse 2
Cadd9                                         Em7 (no 5th)/G 
When you fear the darkness, feel everything is useless 
G6/E                     Em
Look to the light and I’ll be standing there
Cadd9                                    Em7 (no 5th)/G 
I won’t let no one hurt you, I’ll never desert you,
G6/E                           Em   
I’ll do what it takes, I will get you through

Pre Chorus
F/C                                                Em/B
I want to tear this false world down,
G                                    G7
Make it beautiful for you.  I will

Nicely done! Your chord choices really give your song an "airy" or "spacious" feel, and I'll bet it sounds good finger-picked.
