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
