Verse 1:
A               E                  D           F#m
He ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit
A                 E               D       E     A
He's got somebody else's eyes I'm seeing myself in
                   E                D                   F#m
I'm holding on to every moment, God knows I've missed a few
 A               E              D        E    A
The day we met I knew I had some catching up to do


Chorus:
F#m         E                  A
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
          D                      F#m
But if he did, I'd feel the same
         E                    A
I wasn't there for his first steps
             D                  F#m
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
               E                  A
And that ain't ever gonna change
         D
I could never walk away
F#m           E                  D
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
             D                F#m       E   A   D
He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy

Verse 2:
A                E           D                       F#m
It hit me like a train, the first time he called me dad
     A                   E                            E        D
In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holding hands
                   E             D                 F#m
His mama said, "I understand if it's too soon for this"
   A                        E                           D         E     A
I didn't let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah


Chorus:

F#m         E                  A
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
          D                      F#m
But if he did, I'd feel the same
         E                    A
I wasn't there for his first steps
             D                  F#m
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
               E                  A
And that ain't ever gonna change
         D
I could never walk away
F#m           E                  D
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
             D                F#m       E   A   D
He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy


Bridge:

He's Saturday morning cartoons
E
He's "Hey, can I sleep in your room?"
A
He's bigger than the plans I had
     D
He's making me a better man

F#m         E                  A
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
          D                      F#m

Yeah, he's my, he's my boy
