Capo 2nd Fret
G C
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
D C G
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
C
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
D C G
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
G C
I met the man I call my dad when I was 5 years old
D C G
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
C
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
D C G
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes... And then
(1st Chorus)
Am D
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
G C
How we went from somethings missing to a family
Am D Em
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
G C
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
(Chords stay the same for next verse)
I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago
We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in... And now
(2nd Chorus) - (Chords Stay same - Words Change)
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
How we've gone from somethings missing to a family
Looking through the glass I think about the man who's standing next to me
And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
Tag
Am G
You know he didn't have to be
