(CAPO ON 2)       
G
There I was
A
Ten years old
D            G                D                    
Waiting in my room for him to come home
G
And I just knew
A
He'd be so mad
D                  G                 D
Though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad
Em7          G         A
There was no denying I let him down
     Em7             G         A
But instead of being angry, he put he arms around me

       D
And said

(CHORUS)
D
In the sunlight or the rain
Em7
Brightest nights or darkest days
       G             A
I'll always feel the same way
 D                        
Whatever road you may be on
Em7
Know you're never too far-gone
   G                              A       
My love is there wherever you may be
       G                A               D
Just remember that you'll always be my baby


G
There I was
A
Twenty-one
D          G         D
I was so ashamed of what I'd done
G
On a country road
A
Parked one night
       D             G          D
What started out so innocent crossed the line
Em7             G           A
There was no denying I had let God down
       Em7           G         A
But instead of being angry, He let his love surround me
         D
And I heard

(CHORUS)


G
There he is
A
My little man
       D               G               D
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
G
And I pray to God
A
That when he does
     D               G              D     
I'll be just as understanding as my father was
             Em7                  G      A
'Cause the last thing that I wanna do is let him down
    Em7             G                A
So instead of being angry, I'm gonna throw my arms 
                    D
around him and Ill say

(CHORUS)
