INTRO 
F#5 
 Lately I've been noticing 
          D5                   F#5   D5 
I say the same things he used to say, 
F#5                    D5                    F#5  D5 
 And I even find myself acting the very same way. 
         E5  
I tap my fingers on the table to the rhythm in my soul, 
      D5 
And I jingle the car keys when I'm ready to go. 
       E5 
When I look in the mirror, he's right there in my eyes, 
        D5 
Starin' back at me and I realize: 
 
 
            A5                   E5 
The older I get, the more I can see, 
            F#5                    D5 
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me. 
       A5                    E5 
And he did the best that he could, 
           F#5              D5          B5 
And I only hope when I have my own family 
     A5        D5            E5                    F#5  D5  F#5  D5 
That every day I see a little more of my father in me. 
 
 
           F#5                                D5                  F#5  D5 
There were times I thought he was bein' just a little bit hard on me. 
          F#5 
But now I understand he was makin' me  
  D5                           F#5      D5 
Become the man he knew that I could be. 
        E5 
In everything he ever did, he always did with love, 
        D5 
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son. 
          E5 
When somebody says 'I hope I get to meet your dad', 
       D5 
I just smile and say 'You already have'. 
 
 
            A5                   E5 
The older I get, the more I can see, 
            F#5                    D5 
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me. 
       A5                    E5 
And he did the best that he could, 
           F#5              D5          B5 
And I only hope when I have my own family 
     A5        D5            E5                    D5  E5  D5 
That every day I see a little more of my father in me. 
           A5                  E5  
He's in my eyes, my heart, my soul, 
             F#5 
My hands, my pride, 
           D5                                 A5 
And when I feel alone and I think I can't go on, 
                   E5             F#5   D5  F#5 
I hear him sayin' 'Son, you'll be alright, 
     E5                  F#5 
Everything's gonna be alright'.
