                 C#                        A#m
Someone to play catch with out in the backyard
                F#                           C#
To pick up the pieces of your €…first broken heart
                C#                        A#m
Someone to say slow down when you turn sixteen
                           F#
Yeah, I grew up without a dad,
                  G#            C#
I'm gonna be the best one I can be

Someone to scare the monsters, when it's dark
in your room
Someone to put their foot down when you want
a tattoo
And not just say I love you, but show you what
it means
Yeah, I grew up without a dad,
I'm gonna be the best one I can be

Chorus:
         F#
They say dads are supposed to shape you and
     C#
in a way I guess mine did
       A#m                     G#
I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid
          F#
They say history repeats itself
         C#          G#    A#m
Well, I guess that's up to me
             G#            F#
Yeah, I grew up without a dad,
                  G#            C#
I'm gonna be the best one I can be

Someone to let you fall down and teach you
how to get back up
Teach you how to be sweet like mamma and
how to be tough
Yeah, I'll never be perfect, but sure as
those lines are pink
Yeah, I grew up without a dad, I'm gonna
be the best one I can be

Chorus

Yeah, I can't change the past, but
the past has sure changed me
I grew up without a dad, I'm gonna be
the best one I can be
I said I'm gonna be a dad and I'm gonna be
the best one I can be

The best one I can be
Love you, baby girl
