The Games That Daddies Play Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]He put his arms around
her shoulder
And with a voice that sounded older
He said mom I've got
something on my [A]mind
I don't want to bother you
But I sure need to talk to you
If you could only spare the [D]time
And mom I hope you understand
How much I love and need you and
I don't want you to take
this the [G]wrong way
But [D]don't you think I'm old enough
And [A]big enough and strong
enough to play
The games that daddies [D]play

[Verse 2]
[D]My friend Billy Parker's dad
Came by today to see me and
He wondered if I'd like [A]to go
With him and Billy on a hike
And maybe camp out overnight
The way I've seen them do in
picture [D]shows
And there's one thing I'd like to do
And maybe if I asked him to
He's sit and talk to me man to [G]man
We'd [D]only be gone overnight
And [A]I could find out what
it's like to play
The games that daddies [D]play[B]

[Verse 3]
[E]She quickly turned to hide the tears
From her son of seven years
He didn't know she'd read
between [B]the lines
He'd never really known his dad
And although he'd never ask
She knew exactly what was
on his [E]mind
She searched her mind in desperation
Six long years of separation
Dimmed the words she knew she had [A]to say
I [E]hope you're never big enough
Or [B]old enough or bold
enough to play
The games that daddies [E]play

[Verse 4]
I [B]know you need and want his love
But son, you're the victim of
Another kind of games that daddies [E]play
