Misc Originals – Carter Fuller - Untill I Meet You (Guitar)

G
I heard your heartbeat through a screen

Em
Didn’t know joy could hit that deep

C
Doctor smiled, your mama cried

D
And I just thanked God I was alive

G
I’ve made my messes, I’ve made my peace

Em
Learned some lessons the hard way, see

C
But the night they said your name

D
I knew I’d never be the same

G
Before I ever hold you tight

Em
Or walk you down that porch step light

C
I swear I’ll try to be a man

D
You can be proud to call your dad

G
I don’t have it figured out

Em
But I know love when I feel it now

C
I’ve already changed my ways

D
Before I ever see your face

G
There’s things I won’t let you see

Em
The man I was, the boy in me

C
I’ll carry that so you don’t have to

D
That’s what a father’s supposed to do

G
If the world ever breaks your heart

Em
Or you don’t know where you belong

C
You come find me, night or day

D
I’ll drop it all, I won’t hesitate

G
Before I ever hear you cry

Em
Or watch you learn how to say goodbye

C
I’ll be steady, I’ll be strong

D
Even when I get it wrong

G
I don’t promise I’ll be perfect

Em
But I promise you’re worth it

C
Every prayer I’ve ever prayed

D
Led me right here today

Am
I’ve talked to God more lately

Em
Ask Him to help me lead

C
I don’t need all the answers

D
Just enough faith to believe

Am
If you grow up tough and brave

Em
Or gentle in a different way

C
Just know you’re loved beyond words

D
From the moment you entered this world

G
Before I ever hold your hand

Em
Or teach you how to understand

C
This life’s gonna knock you down

D
I’ll be there to pick you up

G
You don’t owe me anything

Em
Just be you, that’s everything

C
I’m already proud of you

D
Before I ever hold you
