Intro:  D  D9 D  G  Asus A (x2) 
 
D           A/C#       Bm             A 
He can't remember the times that he thought 
     G        D/F#     Em7       A 
Does my daddy love me, probably not 
D            A/C#          Bm              A 
That didn't stop him from wishing that he did 
        G             D/F#       Em7         Asus A 
Didn't keep him from wanting or worshipping him 
 

D             A/C#      Bm          A 
He guesses he saw him about once a year 
           G            D/F#         Em7         A 
He could still feel the way he felt standing in tears 
D              A/C#        Bm             A 
Stretching his arms out as far as they'd go 
G           D/F#   Em7          A 
Whispering, dad I want you to know 
 

                 G                       D/F# 
I love you this much and I'm waiting on you 
                 Em7                  A 
To make up your mind, do you love me too? 
                   G                    D/F# 
How ever long it takes I'm never giving up  
          Em7   D/F#  G 
No matter what 
   A             D  (repeat intro progression once except on chorus 2) 
I love you this much  
 
 
D          A/C#          Bm          A 
He grew to hate him for what he had done 
       G            D/F#        Em              A 
Cause what kind of father could do that to his son 
D         A/C#          Bm               A 
He said, damn you daddy the day that he died 
     G         D/F#           Em         A 
The man didn't blink but the little boy cried 
 
CHORUS 
 
Bridge:  
Em7                                     D 
Half way through the service while the choir sang a hymn 
     C                                  A 
He looked up above the preacher and he sat and stared at him 
 
 
          D          A/C#       Bm     A 
He said, forgive me father when he realized 
         G            D/F#       Em7          A 
That he hadn't been unloved or alone all his life 
D               A/C#            Bm           A 
His arms were stretched out as far as they'd go 
G             D/F#          Em7             A 
Nailed to the cross for the whole world to know 
 
 
CHORUS
