I can still see my old man

Sitting right there in his chair

So I should write it down

Thats how you get a thousand thoughts all scattered round the house

I guess the apple didnt fall to far from that tree
Am D
He was everything Im turning out to be
C D Em D
Be a man that a man can look up too
C D Em D
Kind of lover makes a woman wanna love you
C D G Em
When you shake a hand, always look m in the eye

When youre in the wrong apologize

For everything else, when you need a little help
Am D G
Before it goes to hell, note to self
