Bb             Am               F           
Only two more days, Until your birthday
       Eb
Yesterday was mine
Bb                 Am                     F
You'll be turning five, I know what it's like, 
                         Eb
Growing up without your father in your life

Pre-Chorus:
Am       F         Bb          Eb
So I pretend, I'm doing all I can
       Am                  F               Eb
And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart
Am        F
To understand
     Bb       Eb
Why I'm not around
        Am              F             Eb
And forgive me for not being in your life

Chorus:
            Bb
I remember waiting
For you to come
           Am
Remember waiting
For you to call
           F                              Eb
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
            Bb
I remember waiting, For you to come
(Waiting for you to come)
          Am     
Remember waiting, For you to call
(Waiting for you to call)
 F                               Eb
Waiting there to find nothing at all

Bb - Am - F - Eb

Bb         Am
Maybe someday
                      F
you'll really get to know me
                      Eb
not just the letters read to you
Bb                 Am
I pray I get the chance
              F
To make it up to you
                 Eb
We got a lot of catching up to do

Pre-Chorus:
Am       F         Bb          Eb
So I pretend, I'm doing all I can
       Am                  F               Eb
And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart
Am        F
To understand
     Bb       Eb
Why I'm not around
        Am              F             Eb
And forgive me for not being in your life

Chorus:
            Bb
I remember waiting
For you to come
           Am
Remember waiting
For you to call
           F                              Eb
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
            Bb
I remember waiting, For you to come
(Waiting for you to come)
          Am     
Remember waiting, For you to call
(Waiting for you to call)
 F                               Eb
Waiting there to find nothing at all

            Bb
I remember waiting 
(Waiting for you to call)
  Am                      F - Eb
(Waiting for you to call)
        Bb
I remember...
        Am
Forgive me!
          F
I'm so sorry!
Eb                   Bb
I will make it up to you....
