🎸 Verse:
D
Lately I've been spendin'
D
lots of time with my kid
G
tellin' him stories
G
'bout the things that we did
G              D
when we were a family
D            A7
a long time ago
A7   D
I've answered his questions
D

'til I'm blue in the face
G
wish all that hurt in him
G
I could erase
G     D
but I tell him the truth
A7                           D
'cause he ain't too young to know

🎸 Chorus:
D      G
Single father
G         D
part-time mother
D            A7
when I'm not one

then I'm the other
D           G
You used to be
G            D
my full-time lover

🎸 Verse:
D
I spend every minute
D
I can with my boy
D       G
There's no doubt about it
G
he's my pride and joy
G   D
someday he'll grow up
D                       A7
and I won't have him no more
D
Some things I just find
D
too hard to explain
D     G
so we go to McDonald's
G
or I buy him a train
G      D
and we put it together
A7                 D
on the living room floor

🎸 Bridge:
G
Such is the life
G
Of a single father
   D
He says, "Daddy, explain
D
if it's not too much bother
D        A7
why it's just you and me
A7                  D
living here in this home."
  G
I don't understand it
G
and neither does he
D
why there's just two
D
when there should be three of us
A7
sharing this moment
G              D
Lord I feel so alone
