Not everybody knows how to work my body
Knows how to make me want it
But boy you stay up on it
You got that something that keeps me so off balance
Baby you're a challenge, lets explore your talent
[Chorus]
Hey boy I really wanna see if you can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na

Looking for a guy to put in work, uh

Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
Whats my name, whats my name

Back and forth you rock me
So I surrender, to every word you whisper
Every door you enter, I will let you in
[Chorus]

You're so amazing, you took the time to figure me out

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
(A#) (F)
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
(GM)
And now I think that I've got it all down
[D#]
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
(C)
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
(D#)
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...
[Chorus 1]
(D#)
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
(F)
I can't believe that I stayed till today
(GM)
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
(D#) (F) (A#)
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
[Verse 2]
(A#) (F)
It came out like a river once I let it out
(GM)
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
(D#)
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
(C)
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
(A#)
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
[Chorus 2]
(A#)
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
(F)
I can't believe that I stayed till today
(GM)
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
(D#)
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
(A#)
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
(F)
God know we tried to find an easier way
(GM)
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
(D#) (F) (A#)
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
[Bridge]
(A#)
Our favorite place we used to go
(F)
The warm embrace that no one knows
(GM)
The loving look that's left your eyes
(D#) (F) (A#)
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
[Verse 3]
(A#) (F)
If I could see the future and how this plays out
(GM)
I bet it's better than where we are now
(D#)
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
[Chorus 1]
(D#)
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
(F)
I can't believe that I stayed till today
(GM)
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
(D#) (F) (A#)
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
[Bridge]
(A#)
Our favorite place we used to go
(F)
The warm embrace that no one knows
(GM)
The loving look that's left your eyes

[Chorus]
D
Romeo save me i've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
E
Marry me, Juliet you'll never have to be alone

Haha, Luda!
She can go lower than I ever really thought she could Face down, ass up
The top of your booty jiggling out your jeans, baby pull your pants up
I like it when I see you do it, better than I've ever seen I done befo'
A lot of, women, drop it to the ground, but how low can you go?
Lower than your mama's ever seen it in her lifetime
Never would've imagined it, not even in her right mind
Practice in front of that mirror, now you doing it on the dance flo'
Mad 'cause I can't get with you, chick, just show me how to dance, oh
I may not wanna get low, so I'm posted up, kinda like a player do
But if you come to the crib, then I might show you girls a thang or two
Yeah, I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
I be like knick, knack, patty, wack
Oh, where my kitty cat?
Give a dog a bone
How many licks does it take 'til I get to the center and let a realer take you home?
I can make this show stop, soon as he hear this fo' pop
From ATLANTA all the way down to yo' block
Put the needle on the record
And I make her get lower than a Lamborghini
And if she really get low, then I'ma shoot a video and put it all on TV
'Cause I like that French vanilla (French vanilla)
And the caramel (and the caramel)
But when it comes to chocolate (when it comes to chocolate)
I know that very well
Asian persuasion, no discrimination, I love how they seem to please us
I wanna taste them butter Rican pecan peanut butter cups like Reese's Pieces
'Cause I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, well, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
Drop it, hit it, dump it, split it
Don't, stop, get it, get it
Put it in reverse just to back it up
Let me put some Luda in it
Show me whatchu working with, I'll show you some of this bank, roll
Yeah, you a superstar, there's just one thang I gotta know, so
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
(Don't forget about us)
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
My baby boy
Just let it die
With no goodbyes
Details don't matter
We both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes
It'd be like that baby
Now every time I see you
I pretend I'm fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don't forget about
[Chorus]
Late nights, playin' in the dark
And wakin' up inside my arms
Boy, you'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us
Oh they say
That you're in a new relationship
But we both know
Nothing comes close to
What we had, it perseveres
That we both can't forget it
How good we used to get it
There's only one me and you
And how we used to shine
No matter what you go through
We are one, that's a fact
That you can't deny
So baby we just can't let
The fire pass us by
Forever we'd both regret
So don't forget about
[Chorus]
And if she's got your head all messed up now
That's the trickery
She'll wanna have like you know how this lovin' used to be
I bet she can't do like me
She'll never be M-C
Baby don't you, don't you forget about us
[Chorus- x2]
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us.

Now that I'm with you
With you (x3)
Ha, Ha, ahh
Now that I'm with you
You speak and it's like a song
And just like that all my walls come down
It's like a private joke just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
Cause I start thinking about it,
I almost forgot what it was like to know what love feels like,
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful

G / / D7 D7 / / G
Well you can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I am gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
Or you can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
Chorus:
Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whos fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
Or tell your aunt Louise tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not ok
Or you can tell my eye to watch out for my mind
It might be walkin' out on me today
Chorus:

Lyrics-
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
Bm A G A
'Cause I am just a girl, little ol' me
Bm A G A
Don't let me out of your sight
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
Bm A G A
So don't let me have any rights
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
Bm A
'Cause I am just a girl
G A
I'd rather not be
Bm A
'Cause they won't let me drive
G A
Late at night
Bm A
I'm just a girl
G A
Guess I'm some kind of freak
Bm A
'Cause they all sit and stare
G A
With their eyes
Bm A
I'm just a girl
G A
Take a good look at me
Bm A G A
Just your typical prototype
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!
Bm-A-G-A thing 4 times>
G C (G and C muted)
Oh...I am making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Bm
Your rule of thumb
A G A
Makes me worry some
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
Bm
What I've succumbed to
A G A
Is making me numb
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, my apologies
Bm A G A
What I've become is so burdensome
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Bm A G A
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison

Oh...I've had it up to!

Verse 1: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | C
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life,
has a spirit, has a name
Verse 2: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | G
You think the only people who
are people are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew
[Chorus] Em Bm C
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Em Bm
or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain

C D G /

Verse 3: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | C
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
and for once never wonder what they're worth
Verse 4: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | G
The rain storm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
in a circle in a hoop that never ends
[Bridge] G C Bm Em Am D
How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down then you'll never know
[Chorus] Em Bm C
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

or whether we are white or copper skin
C D Em
You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain

Em Bm
You can own the earth and still all you own is earth until

1. I took my baby on a Saturday bang,
Boy is that girl with you ? Yes, we're one and the same.
G
Now I believe in miracles,
D G G G D G G G D ~
and a miracle has happened tonight.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

it don't matter if you're black or white.

2. They print my message in the Saturday Sun,
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.
G
And I told about equality,
D G G G D G G G D ~
and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D G G G D G G G D ~ (4x)
it don't matter if you're black or white.
D
I`m tired of this devil, I`m tired of this stuff,
G D
I`m tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.
D
I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets,
G D
I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean.
BLACK OR WHITE, 2
3. (rapping) in D
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
causing grief in human relations.
It's a turf war on a global scale,
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.
See, it's not about races, just places, faces.
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.
I've seen the bright get duller,
I'm not going to spend my life being a color.
G
Don't tell me you agree with me,
D G G G D G G G D ~
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D G G G D G G G D ~
it don't matter if you're black or white.
A
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

Chorus-

We had a good love at a good time
But we were too young to know better
The way that we made love, baby made me cry
Thinking that I'd have you forever
C Am Dm G
And tho I've moved on and you have too
Theres still one thing that I won't do
I'll never say I never loved you
C Am F G
Cause I remember getting scared about getting hurt Cause tour was ending
I didn't want to break your heart but couldn't take another ending
I told you it was over but you came right back and told me no
I wont go
Pre Chorus-
Am Em F G
We'd make it through the good and bad
We have a love the kind that lasts
A love that nobody else has ever had
And baby your my better half
C Am F G
We planned to stay together wait four years before we married
but the date kept moving closer every day and every time we spoke
until i came to visit and you sat my on the wing of the plane.
and you gave me your ring
Bridge
| Am C | G Em | F | F Dm |
And you can try to lie, to hide the feelings now that you found someone else
But you know, as I know, real love is what we felt
not surprised, to find, you're fine, I'm doing much better myself
And I hope that we both live up to the cards we were dealt

a god-dam thing. He said, Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash.

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs, to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a....
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah I walk alone, I walk a....

Since I held you and [A] called you mine,
And we waited for the [E] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
To wake in the [D] early morn
To the sound of the [A] old fog horn,
And wait for the [E] men to return
With their boats in the [A] bay; [Asus4] [A]
All these things I don't [D] see no more
When I lived on the [A] old cape shore,
And I gazed on the [E] boats on the moors
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]

As long as my [D] heart
Doesn't break from those old [A] memories,
Old lovers and [E] old use-to-bes,
I'll come home for to [A] stay; [Asus4] [A]

Through the hills on the [A] old cape shore,
But there's no fishing [E] boats anymore,
But it's a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]

It's been more than a [G] long, long time
Since I held you and [D] called you mine,
And we waited for the [A] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [D] day. [G,D]
[D] To wake in the [G] early morn
To the sound of the [D] old fog horn,
And wait for the [A] men to return
With their boats in the [D] bay;
All these things I don't [G] see no more
When I lived on the [D] old cape shore,
And I gazed on the [A] boats on the moors
On a grey foggy [D] day, [G,D]
Chorus:
[D] Summer days they were [G] warmer then
When we laughed with the [D] old fishermen,
And they cursed when the [A] fog rolled in,
Then they made up the [D] hay;
It's been more than a [G] long, long time
Since I held you and [D] called you mine,
And we waited for the [A] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [D] day. [G,D]
[D] And as long as my [G] heart,
Doesn't break from those old [D] memories,
Old lovers and [A] old use-to-bes,
I'll come home for to [D] stay;
I can still hear the [G] ocean roar
Through the hills on the [D] old cape shore,
There are no fishing [A] boats anymore
But it's a grey foggy, [D] foggy day. [G,D]
Chorus:
[D] Summer days they were [G] warmer then
When we laughed with the [D] old fishermen,
And they cursed when the [A] fog rolled in,
Then they made up the [D] hay;
It's been more than a [G] long, long time
Since I held you and [D] called you mine,
And we waited for the [A] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [D] day. [G,D]
And I pray that the [A] sun will shine ....[STOP]
On this grey foggy [D] day.

2ND VERSE
Em C
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance,
D G Em
I ain't mad, I think it's just f***** up that you don't answer fans
C
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
D G D
You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew
Em C
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
D
We waited in the blistering cold for you
G D Em
For four hours and you just said no
C
That's pretty s****y man, you're like his f***ing idol
D C Em
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
C
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to
C G D
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
Em C
You would write back, see I'm just like you in a way
D
I never knew my father neither
G D Em
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
C
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
D G D
So when I have a s****y day, I drift away and put em on
Em C
Cause I don't really got s*** else, so that s*** helps when I'm depressed
D C
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Em C
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
D G D
Its like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
Em C
See everthing you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
D G D
My girlfriend's jealous, because I talk about you 24/7
Em C
But she don't know you like I know you slim, no one does
D G D
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
Em C
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
D
Sincerely yours, Stan, p.s.
C
We should be together too
Em C D
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why

You know that song by Phil Collins, In the Air of the Night
Em C
About that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning
D G D
But didn't, but Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him
Em C
That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning
D G D
Now it's too late, I'm on a 1,000 downers now, I'm drowsy
Em C
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
D G D
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall
Em C D
I love you Slim, we could've been together, think about it
C Em
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
C
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
D G D Em
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
C
See Slim, shut up b****, I'm trying to talk
D G D
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
Em C
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
D G D Em
Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, then she'll die too

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy

And here's an autograph for your brother
G D Em
I wrote it on this Starter cap

You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling
D G D Em
To keep your a** from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
C
And what's this s*** about us meant to be together?
D G D Em
That type of s*** will make me not want us to meet each other
C
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
D G
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
D Em C
I hope you get to read this letter, I hope it reaches you in time
D C
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
Em C
If you relax a little, I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan
D G D Em
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
C
I just don't want you to do some crazy s***
D G D Em
I seen this one s*** on the news a couple of weeks ago that made me sick
C
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

And had his girlfriend in his trunk and she was pregnant with his kid
Em C
And in the car they found a tape, didn't say who it was to
D C Em
Come to think about it, his name was, it was you...
Em
Damn
Love, Mosaic
Verse 1-
Truth be told, my love behold
Once upon a long long time ago
I was something I didn't set out to be
I knew a lot of people, not one really knew me
Picking up the pieces they all threw on the floor
One minute from not being able to take anymore
Anger compressed up inside of my chest
Demanding to confront, wish that I could confess
Chorus 1-
But nothing could change me, nothing could stop me
Numb to reality, forced in conformity
Love, until I loved you, love, until I loved you,
until I love you my love
Verse 2-
You took all the broken stained fragments of glass
Not one was forgotten, not one was surpassed
Gentle and kind each one placed so precise
Making a mosaic of reflections of reflections on my life
And how you've altered me and the direction your in
How could I thank you where should I begin
Picked out from a lost and found like an old dirty hat
Not worth a dime but the memories it has
Chorus 2-
and your heart is gold y que linda tu soul
I was so cold, spiraling out of control
Love, until I loved you, love, until I loved you,
until I love you my love
Bridge-
Well I'm no longer doubtful, I'm no longer unsure
I'm no longer hesitant, I know that I am yours
It's all algebraic, I'm no longer prosaic
I love you, I love, Love your mosaic
Solo-
Capo on 3rd!

Chorus-

[Chorus]
Am G
Take a look at my girlfriend
F Em G
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Am G
Not much of a girlfriend
F Em G
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Verse-
Am G F Em
Am G
It's been some time since we last spoke
F Em
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
Am G
But momma I fell in love again
F Em
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
The rest is played the same way as above.
And I know it sounds so old
But cupid got me in a chokehold
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin'
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun
(ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
[Chorus]
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
[Verse]
It's been awhile since we talked last and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
But dad I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure
[Chorus]
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
[Bridge]
She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue
I'm not done
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn't stop there
Man I swear
She's got porcelain skin of course she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song
But movin' on
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
Not sayin' one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here
[Chorus]
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

I was shy I turned away Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes Whenever she flashed those baby-blues

Those soft and fuzzy sweaters Too magical to touch

Chorus: Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name
Verse 1: Any other day
I would call and you would say
Baby how's your day
But today, it ain't the same
Every other word
Is "uh-huh" yeah "okay"
Could it be that you
Are at the crib with another lady
If you took it there
First of all, let me say
I am not the one
To sit around, and be played
So prove yourself to me
I am the girl that you claim
Why don't you say the thangs
That you said to me yesterday
Pre Chorus: I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth
If somebody's there then tell me who
Chorus:
Verse 2: What is up with this
Tell the truth, who you with
How would you like it if
I came over with my clique
Don't try to change it now
See you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago
You said you just got in the house
It's hard to believe that you
Are at home, by yourself
When I just heard the voice
Heard the voice of someone else
Just this question why
Do you feel you gotta lie
Gettin' caught up in your game
When you can not say my name
Pre Chorus and Chorus 2X
[Verse 1]
A D
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
E D A
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
D
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
E D A
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
A D
I met the man I call my dad when I was 5 years old
E D A
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
D
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
E D A
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes... And then
[Chorus 1]
Bm E
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
A D
How we went from somethings missing to a family
Bm E F#m
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
A D A
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
[Verse 2]
A D
I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago
E D A
We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more
D
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
E D A
Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in... And now
[Chorus 2]
Bm E
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
A D
How we've gone from somethings missing to a family
Bm E F#m
Looking through the glass I think about the man who's standing next to me
D E A
And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
Bm A
You know he didn't have to be
