Intro: A  D/A 2x

                
1st verse: 

When a (A)single mom goes out on a date with(D/A) somebody new, 
it al(E)ways winds up feeling more like a job interview.(A) 
My mama used to wonder if she'd ev(D/A)er meet someone 
that wouldn't(E)find out about me and then turn around and run.(A) (D/A) (A)  
I met the man i call my dad when i(D/A) was 5 years old. 
He took my mom(E) out to a movie and for once i got to go.(A) 
A few months later I remember ly(D/A)in' there in bed. 
I overheard(E)him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes.(A) 



Chorus:  

And then(Bm) all of a sudden 
oh it seems(E) so strange to me (E/G#)
how we (A)went from somethin's(A/C#) missin' 
from the fam(D)ily.(A/C#) (Bm)
Lookin back all I can say about(E) 
all the things he did for me (F#m)(F#m/E)(D)(A/C#).
cause (Bm7)i hope i'm at least half the dad
(Esus) (E) that he didn't have to be. (A) (D/A)


 
                                                  
2nd verse: 

(A)I met the girl thats now my wife about(D/A) 3 years ago. 
We had(E) the perfect marriage but we wanted something more
(A) now here i stand surrounded by our fam(D/A)ily and friends 
crowded round(E) the nursery window as they bring the baby in.(A)


2nd Chorus: 

And now(Bm) all of a sudden 
oh it seemed(E) so strange to me (E/G#)
how  we've (A)gone from somethin's (A/C#)missin 
to the fam(D)ily.(A/C#)(Bm)  
Lookin though the glass i think about(E) 
the man whos standin next to me(F#m)(F#m/E)(D)(A/C#) 
and (Bm7)i hope i'm at least half the dad(Esus)  (E) 
that he didn't have to be..............

          
Solo: A D Bm7 E      

(Bm)Lookin back all i can say about
(E) all the things he did for me(F#m)(F#m/E)(D)(A/C#)
cause(Bm7) i hope i'm at least half the dad
(Esus)(E) that he didn't have to be. (A)   



Yeah (Bm7)I hope I'm at least half the dad
(Esus) (E)that he didn't have to be  (A)   (D/A)
