[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
She locked [D]her fingers,
and bowed her head,
She said I'm [E]late, and I'm really scared,
[G]
She said you can [D]go, but I hope [G]you stay,
[D]I'm gonna kee[E]p it, either way[G]

[Verse 2]
In my [G]daddy's El Cam[D]ino,
In her [G]driveway in the [D]rain,
Star[G]rin' through that wind[D]shield
I could see [A]my future [G]change,
And my heart hit like a ham[D]mer,
[G]And my thoughts were runnin' [Bm]wild,
Any [A]fool can [Asus4]make a ba[A]by,
[Asus4]but it ta[A]kes a man, to ra[G]ise a child.[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]I laid my head, down on the wheel,
She said [E]I know, I know,
it don't seem [G]real,
She closed her eyes,
[D]but the tears flowed through,
She said don't [E]hate me, for [G]lovin' you

[Verse 4]
In my daddy's El Cam[D]ino,
In her [G]driveway in [D]the rain,
[G]Starrin' through that wind[D]shield I
could see [A]my future [G]change,
And my heart hit like a ham[D]mer,
[G]And my thoughts were runnin' [Bm]wild,
Any [Asus4]fool can make[A] a baby,
[Asus4]but it ta[A]kes a man, to ra[G]ise a child.[D]

[Verse 5]
Oh I could [Em]not reassure her,
I couldn't [D]say what I had planned,
Couldn't put [G]three words together,
So [Asus4]I just, t[A]ook her hand
[Asus4][A][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[G][D]
In my [G]daddy's [D]El Camino,
In [G]her driveway in the [D]rain,
[G]Starrin' through [D]that windshield
[A]I could see my future [G]change,
[A]An d my [G]heart hit like a ham[D]mer,
[G]And my thoughts were runnin' [Bm]wild,
Any [A]fool can make [Asus4]a baby, b[A]ut it takes a ma[G]n,

[Outro 1]
to raise a child.
