[Intro]
E F# G#m
E
Yo
G#m B E G#m
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
You will eventually
E
Some day
One day
[Refrain]
E
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
G#m
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
E
I hope you understand I love you more than life itself
G#m B
And this is nothin' but your daddy's thoughts when he was feelin' empty
[Verse 1]
E
And everything ain't always what it seems like on the outside
G#m
I fought so many tears so that you would never see the outcry
E
I never wanted kids until I lived and went through hard times
G#m B
And became a man that fell in love with someone that my heart finds
E
But you know how that shit go
G#m
Young and reckless, different women part time
E
And I wasn't ready for that life yet, I was in my dark prime
G#m
Me and your moms ain't get along and she gave me a hard time
B E
I really think that we just crossed paths at the wrong time
E G#m
I wasn't happy when she said she was pregnant
E
Probably the worst news of my life, that shit was so depressing
G#m
I told her she should get an abortion and I really meant it
I'm sorry that I said that shit, yo I was trippin'
[Refrain]
E G#m
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
E G#m
I'm sorry, yo
[Verse 2]
B E
And I never wanted a broken home to raise you from a distance
G#m
Yeah I'll admit it, I was scared of that type of commitment
E
Even hopes of a miscarriage, anything bad that could happen
G#m B
That'd get me out of that situation, I was livin
B E
I felt like shit about my thoughts, that wasn't me, I'm different
G#m
Plus I was dealing with some demons that I couldn't live with
E G#m
I told her she should get an abortion and I really meant it
[Refrain]
E F#
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
G#m
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
E G#m B
Hope you don't hate me, I was selfish, I hope you forgive me
E G#m B
Hope you forgive me
[Verse 3]
E
And I still remember your baby shower like it was yesterday
G#m
And to your mom it was special, me, just another day
E
I wish that you could see the pictures, all the fake phony smilin'
G#m B
Had to pretend that I was happy, deep down I was cryin'
E
Ma asked if I was okay, I turned around and looked away
G#m
I was dryin' all my tears, look back to say yeah
E
I was lyin', goddamn, how the hell I get here?
G#m
This is it, this supposed to be my life
B
This ain't how I pictured it
E
I never felt so damn alone, but it was more than often
G#m
One of the worst days of my life, and I ain't even lyin'
E F#
We argued when we came home, I blame myself for all this
I think that I was holding a grudge 'cause she ain't get an abortion
I'm sorry
Damn
[Refrain]
E G#m
And I know you can't understand my words but you will eventually
B
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
E F# G#m
I can't believe I tried to hurt you, I hope you forgive me
E Gm
Please, please
[Verse 4]
E
And everything ain't always what it seems like on the outside
G#m
I fight so many tears so that you would never see the outcry
E
I sacrifice my life so you could live it
F# G#m B
Peace, want to give you things my father couldn't give to, me
E
I think I was raised wrong, and that's just what it is to me
G#m
And if you ask him then his ass gon' probably disagree
E F# G#m B
But whatever, whatever
E
And nothing's ever made me cry as much as you, I swear
G#m
Your smile gives me motivation and some new ideas
E
My worst fear is always you not knowing who I am
G#m B
'Cause I been on the road dreamchasing for you out here
E
I was the first thing that you opened your eyes to
F#
And the last one that you said goodnight to
G#m
I went home and cried to
And I bawled my eyes out, and then watched you
E
Glad I got you, that's a blatant fact
G#m B
And every negative thing I said I swear I take it back
[Refrain]
E F#
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
G#m
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
E F#
I hope you understand I love you more than I love myself
G#m
And this is nothin' but your daddy's thoughts when he was feelin' empty
[Outro]
E
I was feelin' empty
F#
I been feelin' empty
G#m
I put my emotions in this music when I'm feelin' empty
E
I hope you forgive me
Please, please
