Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
    Bb                     Gm      Eb
In first grade, I fell down in the driveway
    Bb                        Gm      Eb
Scraped my knee and dad ran out with a Band-Aid
    Bb                     Gm      Eb
Well, he sat down beside me, eye to eye there on the concrete
    Bb                     Gm      Eb
Just let me cry and wiped my tears away
    Bb           Gm      Eb
At sixteen, I wrecked my first car
    Bb                         Gm      Eb
And I thought he'd be mad 'cause it was my fault
    Bb
But he picked me up, dropped everything
        Gm              Eb
And swore he wouldn't say a thing
    Bb                     Gm      Eb
Just let me cry and wiped my tears away
      F                                  Eb
Yeah, he spent my whole life setting the bar
 F                            Eb
For the man who gets to have my heart

Chorus:
    Eb                   Bb                F
So if you wanna take the hand that he held first
  Eb                  Bb              F
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
   Gm                F            Bb          F
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Cm             F            Bb
Baby, you got big shoes to fill

Verse 2:
   Bb                     Gm      Eb
Spent two years betting my heart on someone
   Bb                     Gm      Eb
Who swore he'd never felt more in love
   Bb                     Gm           Eb
Well on the day he walked away, all his words lost their weight
   Bb                    Gm      Eb
But deep down I knew how it would end up
 F                            Eb
'Cause I know I'll know when love feels right
 F                            Eb
Since I've seen it in my father's eyes

Chorus:
    Eb                   Bb                F
So if you wanna take the hand that he held first
  Eb                  Bb              F
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
   Gm                F            Bb          F
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Cm             F          Bb
Baby, you got big shoes to fill

Bridge:
 F                            Eb
When it's time to give up my last name
 F                            Eb
Dear whoever standing in his place

Chorus:
    Eb                   Bb                F
So if you wanna take the hand that he held first
  Eb                  Bb              F
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
   Gm                F            Bb          F
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Cm             F            Bb
Baby, you got big shoes to fill
