(CAPO ON 2)       
G5
There I was
A5
Ten years old
D5            G5                D5                    
Waiting in my room for him to come home
G5
And I just knew
A5
He'd be so mad
D5                  G5                 D5
Though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad
E5          G5         A5
There was no denying I let him down
     E5             G5         A5
But instead of being angry, he put he arms around me

       D5
And said

(CHORUS)
D5
In the sunlight or the rain
E5
Brightest nights or darkest days
       G5             A5
I'll always feel the same way
 D5                        
Whatever road you may be on
E5
Know you're never too far-gone
   G5                              A5       
My love is there wherever you may be
       G5                A5               D5
Just remember that you'll always be my baby


G5
There I was
A5
Twenty-one
D5          G5         D5
I was so ashamed of what I'd done
G5
On a country road
A5
Parked one night
       D5             G5          D5
What started out so innocent crossed the line
E5             G5           A5
There was no denying I had let God down
       E5           G5         A5
But instead of being angry, He let his love surround me
         D5
And I heard

(CHORUS)


G5
There he is
A5
My little man
       D5               G5               D5
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
G5
And I pray to God
A5
That when he does
     D5               G5              D5     
I'll be just as understanding as my father was
             E5                  G5      A5
'Cause the last thing that I wanna do is let him down
    E5             G5                A5
So instead of being angry, I'm gonna throw my arms 
                    D5
around him and Ill say

(CHORUS)
