♫ Intro:

F    D#


♫ Verse 1:
F
I used to think a family man was being the first one in the stands
    D#
And being your kid's biggest fan, until I realized
    F
Sometimes I gotta miss that football game, on a Friday night cause I'm workin' late
          D#
To make a little extra money so I know we're gonna be alright

♫ Pre-Chorus:
F
Man I'd give up anything
D#                                  F  D#
If I could be there for everything


♫ Chorus:
         F
But it's 5 to 9 then 9-5
F
I'm overtired from overtime
        D#
Now I'm racing home just to see them smile
D#
Cause I know they're only little for a little while
   F
It breaks my heart cause there's no way
F
I'm gonna make it up someday
        D#
And I'm killin' myself tryin' make it all work
               Fm                     A#                    D#
I might not be rich when they lay me six feet down in the dirt
                                     F          D#
But I'll make damn sure I put my family first


♫ Verse 2:
     F
Most days I'm gone before sunrise, never see the morning in their eyes
      D#
It's okay cause I ain't ever been the kind, that's good at goodbyes
    F
Sometimes the greatest gift you can give is all those little moments you have to miss
            D#
So they can live the life they deserve to live, and lord knows I try

Man I'd give up anything
