(Verse) 
C               Am                        
  Only two more days, until your
G               F
birthday, yesterday was mine
C                   Am                        
  You?ll be turning five I know what it?s
G                            F
like growing up without your father in your life


(Pre-Chorus)
Am      G         C           F
So I pretend, I?m doing all I can
      Am                  G               F
And I hope someday you?ll find it in your heart
Am       G        C       F
To understand why I?m not around
Am                     G             F
And forgive me for not being in your life


(Chorus)
           C
I remember waiting for you to come
         Am
Remember waiting for you to call
         G                                F
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
           C
I remember waiting for you to come
         Am
Remember waiting for you to call
G                                F
Waiting there to find nothing at all

 

(Repeat Intro)



(Verse)
C             Am   
    Maybe someday you?ll really get to
G                              F
know me, not just from letters read to you
C                   Am
   I pray I get the chance to make it up
G                       F
to you, we got a lot of catching up to do



(Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus)



(Outro)
           C
I remember waiting for you to come
Am                            G   F
    Waiting for you to call  
           C
I remember waiting for you to come
Am                            G
    Waiting for you to call
F                      C
I will make it up to you
