Intro:

D Em G D Em G


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
