(Verse 1)
He'll (D)make you mow the grass and do it for free
When (Bm)you think you're done, he'll say rake the leaves
He'll (G)say it builds character, but it's 90 degrees
You'll (A)cuss him under your breath
He (D)won't let you quit your football team
Or (Bm)hang with the kid who lives down the street
'Cause he (G)heard he smokes dope and got holes in his jeans
Lookin' (A)back, he was right, I guess
(G)Things dads (A)do

(Chorus)
He’ll (D)act like he (A/C#)does when he (Bm)don't have a (A)clue and I (G)know it (A)seems
Like he's (D)flying by the (A/C#)seat of his (Bm)outa style (A)jeans
(G)You'll get embarrassed when he (A)ruins your cool
When he (D)pulls out his (A/C#)camera on your (Bm)first day of (A)school
And that's (G)just a (A)few of things dads (D) do

(Verse 2)
He (D)hands you the keys to a hand-me-down truck
And (Bm)take 'em right back when you tear it up
On your (G)first broken heart, he'll say, son, tell you what
Let's (A)talk it out over a beer
And (D)when you get married, he'll be your best man
(Bm)Pay for the booze and a bad cover band
And he'll (G)give a long speech and say this was God's plan
And (A)try not to cry, but he will
(G)Things dads (A)do

(Chorus)
Give you (D)his old re-(A/C#)cliner for your (Bm)new living (A)room and he'll (G)call too (A)much
And (D)out of the (A/C#)blue without (Bm)asking to show (A)up, he'll (G)give you advise a-(A)bout your career
And com-(D)plain and ask (A/C#)why your fridge is (Bm)full of weird (A)beer
That's (G)just a (A)few of things dads (D) do

(Verse 3)
(D)Sit in the waitin' room chewing Red Man
'Till the (Bm)doctor comes out and says y'all come on in
He'll (G)say she looks perfect then and shake your hand and say (A)now you'll understand
(G)Things dads (A)do

(Chorus)
(D)You'll think it's (A/C#)crazy (Bm)'till you're one (A)too and you'll (G)lose your (A)mind
In a (D)couple of years (A/C#)sleepin’ just (Bm)three months (A)time
(G)Next thing you know one's (A)five and one's three
And (D)one's almost (A/C#)one and she's (Bm)cuttin' her (A)teeth
And you're (G)in his (A)shoes
And you're (G)startin' (A)to do (G)more than a (A)few things dads (D) do

(Outro.)
