D Bm G A D..................
[Verse]
DHad to grow up before I started shaving
GMore worried about mama than running and playing outside
DShe didn't sleep at night, I guess neither did I
DI don't know how she did, what she did but, she did it
Knew someone was missing but, for her, I hid it
GShe had enough on her plate, so I tried to take his place
[Chorus]
DBe strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
GShe won't tell you but, she needs you
And you can't let her down
DSo, hide those shakin' hands
F#mBe a rock when you feel like sand
GIt turns out, all I was back then is all that I Am now
D GJust a boy trying to be the man of the house...
[Verse]
DSomeone new shows up with some flowers
They Go out for a couple of hours
GHome alone's fun for any other kid
But I couldn't watch her Go through it again
ATryin' to fill shoes that ain't my size
GBut, the world don't give a **** about the age of the dog in the fight
[Chorus]
DBe strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
GShe won't tell you but, she needs you
And you can't let her down
DSo, hide those shakin' hands
F#mBe a rock when you feel like sand
GIt turns out, all I was back then is all that I Am now
D GJust a boy trying to be the man of the house...
[Post-Chorus]
D F#m GJust a boy trying to be the man of the house....
[Bridge]
DMarried my girl and we had a few babies
Trying to give them the childhood life never gave me
GKnow they probably can't tell
That I'm still telling myself
[Chorus]
DBe strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
GShe won't tell you but, she needs you
And you can't let her down
DSo, hide those shakin' hands
F#mBe a rock when you feel like sand
GIt turns out, all I was back then is all that I Am now
D GJust a boy trying to be the man of the house...
[Outro]
D A GJust a boy trying to be the man of the house....
D GJust a boy trying to be the man of the house....
