D                   Dmaj7
I never once backed down from a punch

      D7                        G
Well, I'd take it square on the chin

     Gm                  D       A/C# Bm
Well I found out fast, a bully’s just that

     Em                        A  
And you’ve got to stand up to him

   D                   Dmaj7
So I didn't cry when I got a black eye

   D7                    G
As bad as it hurt I just grinned

         Gm                     D   A/C#  Bm       
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads

          G        A      D     A
They turn into big babies again

Bm                          G
Scared me to death when you took your first steps

         D         A             D      
Well I'd fall everytime you fell down

           Bm                    G           D/F#
And your first day at school, I cried like a fool

  Em                          A
I followed your school bus to town
[Chorus]
     D                 Dmaj7
Well I didn't cry when old Yeller died 

   D7                       G
At least not in front of my friends

         Gm                     D  A/C#  Bm   A 
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads

          G        A
They turn into big babies again
[Interlude] G D A/C# Bm G A D [Verse 2]
     D                      Dmaj7
Well I'm a grown man but as strong as I am

     D7                        G
Well sometimes it's hard to believe

    Gm                   D             Bm 
How one little girl with little blonde curls

    Em              A
Can totally terrify me 

   D                   Dmaj7
If you were to ask, my wife would just laugh

      D7                   G 
She'd say I know all about men

        Gm                     D  A/C#  Bm   A
And how tough little boys grow up to be Dads

           G         A      D   A
They turn into big babies again

     Bm                  G
Well I know one day I'll give you away 

    D            A               D     A
And I'm gonna to stand there and smile

         Bm             G       D/F#
But when I get home and I'm all alone

Em                          A
I'll sit in your room for a while
[Chorus]
     D                 Dmaj7
Well I didn't cry when old Yeller died 

   D7                       G
At least not in front of my friends

         Gm                     D  A/C#  Bm   A 
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads

          G        A        D
They turn into big babies again

     Gm                     D   A/C# Bm   A 
When tough little boys grow up to be Dads

          G        A
They turn into big babies again
