My Daughter's Father 
Gord Bamford
Album: Day Job
 
Intro: Bb

   Gm                       D#
I guess its human nature, tuggin' at my sleeve
      Bb                               F
That gets me thinking too much, 'bout what I'm supposed to be
Gm                           D#
I keep aiming higher, like everybody else
 Bb                               F           Bb
Forgetting what I need to be, is just to be myself

Chorus: 

Bb              D#                    Bb
It's not like everybody's waiting to see if I'll go far
                D#                              F
It's not like everybody's watching, though sometimes I think they are
         D#                       Bb                       Gm
I don't have to change the world, I don't have to walk on water
       Bb     F                    Bb
All I have to be is my daughter's father

       Gm                  D#
She's just like her mama, when it comes to me
          Bb                         F
Couldn't fool her if i tried to, to her I'll always be
Gm                           D#
Nothing more than daddy and when she says that word
       Bb                   F                Bb
It a wonderful reminder of why I'm on this earth

Repeat chorus

  Gm                        D#
A man is often measured by what he does in life
Gm                                 F
It made mine worth living when I realized

Repeat chorus

D#   F            Bb
Yeah all I have to be
