E MajorE


Verse 1:
E MajorE               A augmentedA
The nurse helped us buckle the seat in the car
     E MajorE           F#F#      BB
And they sent us on our way, I drove home so slow
  E MajorE            A augmentedA
We had no instructions, the first days were hard
      E MajorE           BB     E MajorE
But there's things about babies a woman just knows

Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE           A augmentedA           E MajorE              F#F#      BB
Three in the morning I lay my hand over your heart just to know you were safe in your sleep
E MajorE             A augmentedA              E MajorE                BB      E MajorE  E7E7
When you started walking I fight back the urge to stay right there beside you and keep you on your feet


Chorus:
A augmentedA           E MajorE
Being your daddy comes natural
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
The roses just know how to grow
   A augmentedA            E MajorE        A augmentedA
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
  E MajorE      BB      C# minorC#m
The hard part is letting you go
  E MajorE      BB      E MajorE
The hard part is letting you go


Pre-Chorus:
  E MajorE            A augmentedA             E MajorE           F#F#      BB
It didn't take long to see you got the best of me and your momma's merciful heart in your eyes
  E MajorE             A augmentedA              E MajorE              BB      E MajorE E7E7
And helping her raise you has taught me to see through the great fog of loneliness the devil's the sky


Chorus:
A augmentedA            E MajorE
Being your daddy comes natural
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
The roses just know how to grow
   A augmentedA            E MajorE        A augmentedA
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
    E MajorE      BB      C# minorC#m
But the hard part is letting you go
  E MajorE      BB      E MajorE
The hard part is letting you go

Verse 2:
  E MajorE           A augmentedA
And now you've decided to be someone's wife
     E MajorE              F#F#    BB
And we'll walk down the aisle and I'll give you away
 E MajorE              A augmentedA
I wish I could walk with them back through your life to see
E MajorE          BB     E MajorE
Every last minute of every last day
  E MajorE              A augmentedA
To hear your first words and to feel your first heartbreak
  E MajorE               F#F#      BB
To sing you to sleep when you're scared of the dark
  E MajorE          A augmentedA             E MajorE                BB     E MajorE
The best I can do is to let myself trust that you know who'll be strong enough to carry your heart


Chorus:
A augmentedA            E MajorE
Being your daddy comes natural
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
The roses just know how to grow

It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
    E MajorE      BB      C# minorC#m
But the hard part is letting you go
     E MajorE    BB      E MajorE
The hard part is letting you go
