[Intro ]
D G D G 

 
     D               D 
Dear Simon you don't know me 
G        D                Em 
 But you know my daughter well 
D           F#m             Bm 
 She's been writing letters to you 
 G       D              Em 
Oh she's got so much to tell 
      D                   F#m 
And i thought that it was time 
           D            F#m 
To write a letter of my own 
     G             Em 
 You came into our family 
   A              D 
So welcome to our home 
 

 
 G 
You've been there for Avie 
    D 
Now will you be there for me 
     Em 
If I tell you all my stories 
     D              A 
Everything I try to be 
    G                   A 
The things I should remember 
  F#m              Bm 
So   much I can't forget 
    Em 
The things I've done I'm proud of 
    A 
But so much did I regret 
   G                   A 
So will you tell my daughter 
     F#                 Bm 
All that matters in the end 
            Em              Em 
I'll always love her as her father 
         G              G 
But that doesn't always mean 
             D 
I'm her best friend

     D               D 
Dear Simon you don't know me 
G     D                Em 
 So I want to tell you more 
D        F#m              Bm 
 How sometimes I can feel certain 
G        D              Em 
 But sometimes I'm so unsure 
      D           F#m 
And I want you to know 
          D                 F#m 
The most important thing to me 
      G              Em 
How I long to be her roots 
          A 
And how I long to set her free 
 

 
    G 
Sometimes the best that I can do 
     D 
Just doesn't seem enough 
         Em 
When the world is on my shoulders 
        D             A 
And the road ahead is rough 
         G                A 
But i'll always keep on trying 
   F#m              Bm 
So don't let her forget 
           Em 
I may have many years behind me 
    A 
But I'm not finished yet 
   G                   A 
So will you tell my daughter 
     F#                 Bm 
All that matters in the end 
            Em              Em 
I'll always love her as her father 
         G              G 
But that doesn't always mean 
             D 
I'm her best friend

I'll always love her as her father 
         G              G 
But that doesn't always mean

I'm her best friend

I'm her best friend
