Capo on second fret.
G C
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
D C G
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
C
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
D C G
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run…
G C
I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old
D C G
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
C
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
D C G
I over heard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes… And then,
(chorus)
Am D
All of a sudden Oh it seemed so strange to me
G C
How we went from something's missing to a family
Am D Em
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
Am D G
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be.
G C
I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago
D C G
We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more
C
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
D C G
Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in… And now,
(chorus)
Am D
All of a sudden Oh it seemed so strange to me
G C
How we've gone from something's missing to a family
Am D
Looking through the glass I think about the man
Em
who's standing next to me
Am D G
And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be!
Am
