[Intro]
D Em G D Em G
[Verse 1]
D G Daddy, when you were a little kid what did you dream you'd be G When you grew up D G And daddy, did you think that you'd play ball in the major leagues G Cranking home runs Em And did you want to be an astronaut D Maybe the president G Or maybe not grow up at all like Peter Pan
[Chorus]
Bm A G Well son I dreamt that I'd be big and strong like Superman Bm Or a better man than him A G D Thought that I'd get rich and get a big old house on a big old piece of land Em G Then you showed up and wrecked my life Bm A G D Em G Son you helped me realize that being dad to you is a dream I never had come true
[Verse 2]
D G Son, don't ever lose sight of that little boy inside of you G When you grow up D G Son, hope you always hear your mama's voice reminding you G Where you come from Em If you ever feel like giving up D Like you're a million miles away G Remember all those innocent dreams and they'll all fall into place
[Chorus]
Bm A G If you dream of growing big and strong like Superman Bm You be a better man than him A G D If one day you get rich and get a big old house hope you think of your old man Em G When a girl shows up and wrecks your life Bm A G D Em G Makes you realize what a grown man's gotta do when the dream he never had comes true D Em Gmaj7 Dream he never had comes true
[Bridge]
Em7 Well I never was an astronaut D Never met the president G Watching you grow up has been my best accomplishment
[Out-Chorus]
Bm A G I thought that I'd be big and strong like Superman Bm But we both know I ain't him A G And I have fallen down a time or two but I get back up again D Em G Since you showed up and wrecked my life Bm A G Son you helped me realize I still have growing up to do Bm7 A G D Em G My son growing up with you is a dream I never had come true D Em G Dream I never had come true
