INTRO
A D/A
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new,
E A D/A
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview.
A D/A
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone,
E A D/A
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run.
A D/A
I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old,
Esus E A
D/A
A few months later I remember lying there in bed,
Esus E A
Bm E
All of a sudden, oh it seemed so strange to me,
E A D A
How we went from something's missing to a family.
Bm E F#m E D A
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me,
Bm E A D/A E
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be.
A D/A
I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago,
E A D/A
We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more.
A D/A
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends,
Esus E A
Bm E
All of a sudden, oh it seemed so strange to me,
E A D A
How we've gone from something's missing to a family.
Bm E F#m E D A
Looking through the glass I think about the man that's standing next to me,
Bm E A
And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be.
Bm E A D/A
Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be.
A D/A
Because he didn't have to be.
A D/A A D/A E A
You know he didn't have to be.
