He Didn't Have To Be - Paisley Brad

Capo 2nd Fret

My first tab. Posted because I couldnt find a 'correct' version.
Sounds right to me playing it finger style. You can play C's or Cadd9 all the way, I like
the way the Cadd9 sounds where I have it.

G (320003@1)                                CWhen (x32010@1)a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
   D (xx0232@1)			Cadd9 (x32030@1)   GIt (320003@1)always winds up feeling more like a job interview
                                 CMy (x32010@1)momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
            D (xx0232@1)                         Cadd9 (x32030@1)         GWho (320003@1)wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
  G (320003@1)                            CI (x32010@1)met the man I call my dad when I was 5 years old
      	    D (xx0232@1)                       Cadd9 (x32030@1)       GHe (320003@1)took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
                              CA (x32010@1)few months later I remember lying there in bed
      D (xx0232@1)                              Cadd9 (x32030@1)               GI (320003@1)overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes... And then

       G (320003@1)                  		 CHow (x32010@1)we went from somethings missing to a family
Am (x02210@1)                       D (xx0232@1)                            Em (022000@1) CLooking (x32010@1)back all I can say about all the things he did for me
