[Intro]
A F#m D A
[Verse 1]
ALoadin' my bags in a Chevrolet
F#m DTeary eyed kids on the porch looking back at me
Like "Daddy why you gotta leave?"
AI rolled down the drive and waved goodbye
F#mTried like hell to fake a smile
DSo they won't see the tear rollin' down my cheek
[Pre chorus]
E DI know it's hard on you when you have to watch me leave
E D EBut I'll never let you know that it's also hard on me
[Chorus]
D Asus2 F#m ECuz I won't be there when you fall, or when you score in basketball
D A EAnd I can't check for monsters underneath your bed
D A F#m E DAnd I can't wipe away the tears, or be there to fight your fears
A E D E A F#m D AJust hope one day you understand what it takes to be a man
[Verse 2]
ASeeing those smiles on a FaceTime call
F#mIt looks like your kids have been havin' a ball
DAs far as I can tell, I'm here at the hotel
ASister's showing me where she lost her tooth
F#m DShe got five bucks, it's in a piggy bank in her bedroom
It's nice to see all of you
[Pre chorus]
E DI know it's hard on you to say goodbye on a phone screen
E D EBut I'll never let you know that it's also hard on me
[Chorus]
D Asus2 F#m ECuz I won't be there when you fall, or when you score in basketball
D A EAnd I can't check for monsters underneath your bed
D A F#m E DAnd I can't wipe away the tears, or be there to fight your fears
A E D E A E D EJust hope one day you understand what it takes to be a man
[Bridge]
D EYeah I missed first steps, I missed ball games
F#m E D E
It's the first time you got a straight D, and mama says you didn't shed a tear
DJust know that I miss you here
[Chorus]
D Asus2 F#m ECuz I won't be there when you fall, or when you score in basketball
D A EAnd I can't check for monsters underneath your bed
D A F#m E DAnd I can't wipe away the tears, or be there to fight your fears
A E D E A EJust hope one day you understand what it takes to be a man
D E A F#m D AWhat it takes to be a man
