Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][F][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Someone to play [C]catch with,
out in the back[Am]yard
To pick up the [F]pieces of your first
broken [C]heart
Someone to say slow down
when you turn six[Am]teen
Yeah, I grew up without a [F]dad
I'm gonna be [G]the best
one I [C]can be

[Verse 2]
[C]
Someone to scare the monsters when
it's dark in your [Am]room
Someone to put their [F]foot down
when you want a tat[C]too
And not just say I love you,
but show you [G]what it [Am]means
Yeah, I grew up without a [F]dad
I'm gonna be the [G]best
one I can be
[C]

[Verse 3]
They say [F]dads are supposed to shape you,
in [C]a way I guess mine did
I knew [Am]what I wouldn't do
if I [G]ever had a kid
They say [F]history repeats itself
Well, I [C]guess that's [G]up to [Am]me
Yeah, I grew [G]up without a [F]dad
I'm gonna be [G]the best
one I can be
[C]

[Verse 4]
Someone to let you fall down and
teach you how to get [Am]back up
And teach you how to be [F]sweet like
mama and how to be [C]tough
Yeah, I'll never be perfect,
but sure as those lines are [Am]pink
Yeah, I grew up without a [F]dad
I'm gonna be the [G]best
one I can be
[C]

[Verse 5]
[F]They say dads are supposed to shape you,
in [C]a way I guess mine did
I knew [Am]what I wouldn't do
if I [G]ever had a kid
They say [F]history repeats itself
Well, I [C]guess that's [G]up [Am]to me
Yeah, I grew [G]up without a [F]dad
I'm gonna be the [G]best one I can be
[C]Mm, mm, mm

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 6]
Yeah, [F]I can't change the past,
but [C]the past has [G]sure changed [Am]me, [G]mm-mm-mm
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
I grew [C]up without [F]a dad
I'm gonna be the [G]best one I can [C]be
I said I'm gonna be a [F]dad and I'm
gonna be the [G]best one I can be

[Verse 7]
[C]The[Am] best one I can be[F][G][C]
Love you, baby girl
