Verse:
          E                     A
The nurse helped us buckle your seat in the car
         E                     F#            B
And they sent us on our way, I drove home so slow
   E                        A
We had no instructions, the first days were hard
            E                     B          E       E riff

At three in the mornin' I'd lay my hand over

Your heart just to know you were safe in your sleep
     E                       A
When you started walkin' I'd fight back the urge to stay
E                              B           E    E7
Right there beside you 'n keep you on your feet -

    A                      E
But bein' your daddy comes natural
    A                      E
The roses just know how to grow
     A                       E                A
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're goin'
        E            B5          C#5
But the hard part is letting you go

It didn't take long to see you got the best of me

And your momma's merciful heart in your eyes
    E                         A
An' helpin' her raise you has taught me to see through

The great fog of loneliness, the devil's disguise -

And we'll walk down the aisle and I'll give you away

I wish I could walk with him back through your life

To see every last minute of every last day -

To hear your first words and to feel your first heartbreak

To sing you to sleep when you're scared of the dark
    E                   A
The best I can do is to let myself trust that you
E                               B          E     E7
Know who'll be strong enough to carry your heart -
