Intro:
G     C    x2

Verse:
G
I saw your breath
         C             D           G
As you backed in that muddy old truck
                  Em
You packed your memories
     C                   D
And left us all your bad luck
                G
I blew on the glass
        C           D       Em
But you missed my piece of art
          C
Then, I watched you leave
D                       G      C        G
Through my windowpane heart

Chorus:
        D       C
As a child, I wanted you to be
G                    D      G
Everything I didn’t see
   D
A daddy to have and hold
        C
A warm hand in the cold
              G              D
But too many years, I blamed me
          C             D                        G
For this fairy tale family that wasn’t meant to be

Verse:
G
Look at Mamma’s wedding picture
C       D         G
And her honeymoon glow
            Em
Was that a make believe “I do”
C                          D
Where did all that happiness go
              G
I’ve come to learn
      C        D        Em
Some moments that you steal
         C
Turn to fractures
D                    G      C        G
That never seem to heal

Chorus:
D       C
As a child, I wanted you to be
G                    D      G
Everything I didn’t see
   D
A daddy to have and hold
        C
A warm hand in the cold
              G              D
But too many years, I blamed me
          C             D                        G
For this fairy tale family that wasn’t meant to be
   D
A daddy to have and hold
        C
A warm hand in the cold
              G             D
But too many years, I blamed me
          C             D                        G
For this fairy tale family that wasn’t meant to be
          C             D                        G
For this fairy tale family that wasn’t meant to be
