[Intro]

[Verse 1]
    E                          A
The nurse helped us buckle the seat in the car
         E                     F#            B
And they sent us on our way, I drove home so slow
   E                        A
We had no instructions, the first days were hard
            E                     B          E
But there's things about babies a woman just knows
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E                      A                     E                           F#   
Three in the morning I lay my hand over your heart just to know you were safe 
        B
in your sleep
     E                     A                           E                      
When you started walking I fight back the urge to stay right there beside you 
         B           E   E7
and keep you on your feet
 
 
[Chorus]
A                        E
Being your daddy comes natural
    A                      E
The roses just know how to grow
     A                       E                A
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
    E            B           C#m
The hard part is letting you go
    E            B           E
The hard part is letting you go
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   E                       A                          E                     
It didn't take long to see you got the best of me and your momma's merciful 
F#            B
heart in your eyes
    E                         A                            E            
And helping her raise you has taught me to see through the great fog of 
                B          E    E7
loneliness, the devil's disguise
 
 
[Chorus]
A                        E
Being your daddy comes natural
    A                      E
The roses just know how to grow
     A                       E                A
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
        E            B           C#m
But the hard part is letting you go
    E            B           E
The hard part is letting you go
 
 
[Verse 2]
    E                     A
And now you've decided to be someone's wife
          E                            F#        B
And we'll walk down the aisle and I'll give you away
  E                           A
I wish I could walk with them back through your life to see
E                    B          E
Every last minute of every last day
   E                            A
To hear your first words and to feel your first heartbreak
   E                             F#            B
To sing you to sleep when you're scared of the dark
    E                   A                         E                           
The best I can do is to let myself trust that you know who'll be strong enough
    B          E    E7
 to carry your heart
 
 
[Chorus]
A                        E
Being your daddy comes natural
    A                      E
The roses just know how to grow
     A                       E                A
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
        E            B           C#m
But the hard part is letting you go
         E       B           E
The hard part is letting you go
