Chords

[Verse 1]
G                      D         G
I was just a kid, when you came along

G                  D
I loved you even before you were born

C                         G
We didn't have a lot, sometimes I made you mad

G                                D          G
But nothing could be better than being your dad.

G                              D                 G
I carried you on my shoulders, bounced you on my knee

G                             D
You helped me with dinner and taught me how to see

C                             G
Through the eyes of innocence, grace and honesty

G                               D               G
I learned just as much from you as you did from me

G                                  D                G
You played guitar on the porch and dressed like Emmylou

G                             D
We would spin her records and I would dance with you

C                                     G
You on my hip, your hand in mine we'd glide across the floor

G                          D              G
After 10 or 20 songs you'd always say "one more!"

G                              D                   G
We rode bikes along the creek, went to the park to swing

G                                  D
You told me your deepest thoughts, I never spilled the beans

C                                       G
You learned to drive, got a job, didn't need us like before

G                                     D                  G
A big piece of my heart was gone when you walked out the door
[Chorus]
C                    G
We grew up together, becoming who we are

C                      D
Who would have dreamed we'd ever come this far

F                        Em
Now we're growing older, hopefully more wise

D                              D
But you're still my little girl when I see your big brown eyes
[Verse 3]
G                       D            G
Now you are a woman and live too far away

G                              D
Still I am so proud of you and miss you every day

C                                G
There's more memories to make, together time to spend

G                                    D                  G
And I'll make sure that you know, my love for you won't end
[Chorus]
C                    G
We grew up together, becoming who we are

C                       D
Who would have dreamed, we'd ever come this far

F                        Em
Now we're growing older, hopefully more wise

D                                D
But you're still my little girl, when I see your big brown eyes
[Verse 4]
G                      D         G
I was just a kid, when you came along

G                  D
I loved you even before you were born

C                          G
We didn't have a lot, some times I made you mad

G                                 D          G
But nothing could be better, than being your dad

G                                D          G
No nothing makes me happier than being your dad
