[INTRO]
D# G# A# D# .
[VERSE ONE]
D# Had to grow up before I started shaving
D# More worried about mama
G# Than running and playing outside
G# D# She didn't sleep at night, I guess neither did I
[VERSE TWO]
D# I don't know how she did what she did, but she did it
D# Knew someone was missing but for her I hid it
G# She had enough on her plate, so I tried to take his place
[CHORUS]
D# Be strong when you ain't
D# And hold on when you can't
G# She won't tell you but she needs you
G# And you can't let her down
D# So hide those shakin’ hands
Gm Be a rock when you feel like sand
G# Turns out all I was back then is all that I Am now
D# G# Just a boy trying to be the man of a house
[VERSE THREE]
D# Someone new shows up with some flowers
D# They Go out for a couple of hours
G# Home alone's fun for any other kid
G# But I couldn't watch her Go through it again
[VERSE FOUR]
A# Tryna fill shoes that ain't my size
G# But the world don't give a damn about the age of the dog in the fight
[CHORUS]
D# Be strong when you ain't
D# And hold on when you can't
G# She won't tell you but she needs you
G# And you can't let her down
D# So hide those shakin’ hands
Gm Be a rock when you feel like sand
G# Turns out all I was back then is all that I Am now
D# G# Just a boy trying to be the man of a house
D# G# Just a boy trying to be the man of a house
[VERSE]
D# Married my girl and we had a few babies
D# Tryna give them the childhood life never gave me
G# Well they probably can't tell but I'm still telling myself
[CHORUS]
D# Be strong when you ain't
D# And hold on when you can't
G# She won't tell you but she needs you
G# And you can't let her down
D# So hide those shakin’ hands
Gm Be a rock when you feel like sand
G# Turns out all I was back then is all that I Am now
D# G# Just a boy trying to be the man of a house
D# G# Just a boy trying to be the man of a house
[OUTRO]
D# G# Still a boy trying to be the man of a house
