[Intro]
G D Bm C
 
[Verse]
G DI see you on the kitchen floor
Bm CThree weeks past the age of four
G D CWill you remember this?
G DThere's so much that I'd like to say
Bm C'Cause someday you'll push me away
G D CAnd leave your innocence
 
[Prechorus]
Bm C G DYour father's father loved in his own way
Bm C Am DWe had our moments but he would always say
 
[Chorus]
C BmThat I will fail but always try
Am GAnd I will Do wrong things and apologize
C BmAnd show you what it's like
DTo forgive
C BmAnd I'll give you space but never leave
Am GAnd be your safe place for you to grieve
C Bm DWhen you get lost please remember this
G D Bm CA father's love knows where you live
 
[Verse]
G DI see your arm around someone
Bm CThe salt and sugar of your love
G D CI Do remember this
G DOh a heart can break a thousand ways
Bm CThere's wisdom in the scars we make
G D CAnd time will heal the rest
 
[Prechorus]
Bm C G DI'm just a father who's learning his own way
Bm C Am DAll I can offer is exactly what my daddy would say
 
[Chorus]
C BmWell I will fail but always try
Am GI will Do wrong things and apologize
C BmAnd show you what it's like
DTo forgive
C BmAnd I'll give you space but never leave
Am GAnd be your safe place for you to grieve
C Bm DWhen you get lost please remember this
GA father's love knows where you live
 
[Bridge]
Bm EmAnd I will Do my best
C DTo not cushion every fall
Bm EmEven though my heart tells me
C DTo save you from it all
Em CWell there will be tears and jealousy
Em CAnd there will be loss and victory
Bm EmGut when your daddy's gone
Am DI hope that you will see
 
[Chorus]
C BmThat I failed but always tried
Am GI did some wrong things and apologized
C Bm DAnd showed you what it's like to forgive
C BmAnd I gave you space but wouldn't leave
Am GAnd I'm still a safe place for you to grieve
C Bm DWhen you get lost please remember this
 
C BmThat I failed but always tried
Am GI did some wrong things and apologized
C Bm DAnd showed you what it's like to forgive
C BmI gave you space but wouldn't leave
Am EmAnd I'm still a safe place for you to grieve
C Bm DWhen you get lost please remember this
G D Bm CA father's love knows where you live
G D CKnows where you live
