[Verse 1]
G                 D
Back when i was a child

Em7           Cadd9
Before life removed all the innocence

G               D
My father would lift me high
 
Em7               Cadd9
And dance with my mother and me and then

G                     D
Spin me around till I fell asleep

Em7                   Cadd9
Then up the stairs he would carry me

      Em7                 D
And I knew for sure I was loved


[Chorus]
G              D
If I could get another chance

Em7           Cadd9
Another walk, another dance with him

Cadd9                      Em7
I'd play a song that would never ever end

Cadd9                       D
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again


[Verse 2] 

G                          D
When I and my mother would disagree

Em7                   Cadd9
To get my way I would run from her to him

G                          D
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me

Em7                  Cadd9
Then finally make me do just what my momma said

G                        D
Later that night, when I was asleep

Em7              Cadd9
He left a dollar under my sheet

Em7                            D
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me


[Chorus]
G                D
If I could steal one final glance 

Em7             Cadd9
One final step, one final dance with him

Cadd9                      Em7
I'd play a song that would never ever end

Cadd9                                       D
Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again


[Verse 3]
G                       D
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

Em7                    Cadd9
I'd hear how my mother cried for him

Cadd9                 D
I'd pray for her even more than me

Cadd9                 D
I'd pray for her even more than me


[Verse 4]* KEY CHANGE
B                      F#                
I know I'm praying for much too much

    Abm                 E
But could you send back the only man she loved

E                Abm
I know you don't do it usually

E                         F#                      B
But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again


[Mini Bridge]
E
Every night I fall asleep

E
And this is all I ever dream


[Outro]
