  I talk to God about you   
                  Bm      G   
And I ain't even met you yet   
             D              A   Bm   
Everybody's waitin' on you here   

   G              D              A   
I can't wait to feel your heart beat   
               Bm      G   
When I lay you on my chest   
             D                A   Bm   
I'm already holding back my tears   
   G            D               A  Bm   
I wanna be the dad that my dad was   
   G                 D                    A   
I hope that I don't mess this whole thing up

And you forgi-ve just like she does   
               G               D   
And when this life knocks you down

 I know you're gonna grow up some day

And take the time to call back home

It ain't always gonna be easy   
D                         A   
It ain't always gonna be fair   
    Bm                             G   
And I know you ain't always gonna need me   
        D                           A   
But I promise that I'll always be there
