He can't remember the times that he thought
F C/E F G
does my daddy love me, probably not
C Em7 Am Am7/G
but that didn't stop him from wishing that he did
F C/E F G
didn't keep him from wanting or worshipping him
C Em7 Am Am7/G
He guesses he saw him, 'bout once a year
F C/E F G
He could still feel the way he felt standing in tears
C Em7 Am Am7/G
stretching his arms out as far as they'd go
F C/E F
whispering dad, I want you to know
F C/E
I love you this much, and I'm waiting on you
F
to make up your mind, do you love me too

how ever long it takes, I'm never giving up

no matter what,
G C C9 C F G
I love you this much

He grew to hate him for what he had done
F C/E F G
cause what kind of father could do that to his son

He said, Forgive me Father, when he realized,
F C/E F G
that he hadn't been unloved, or alone all his life

His arms were stretched out, as far as they'ed go
F C/E F
Nailed to the cross for the whole world to know

how ever long it takes, I'm never giving up

no matter what,
