You know, every time I look in the mirror, I see my dad.
I think that's why this song means so much to me.
[F#m] [A]
[B] [A] When I was young, [D] my [E] dad would say,
[A] Come on, son, let's go out and play.
[E] Sometimes it seems like yesterday.
Then
[A] [D] [A] I'd climb up [D] the closet [E] shelf
[A] [E] When I was all by [D] myself.
[A] Grab his [E] hat and fix the brim
[F#] [E] Pretending I [A] was him.
No [E] matter how [D] hard I [A] try
[E] No matter how [D] many tears [A] I cry
[E] No matter how many years go [D#] by
[D] I still [E] can't say [D] goodbye.
[A]
[E] [A] He always [E] took care of Mom and me.
[A] We [E] all cut down a Christmas [D] tree
[A] He always had [D] some time [E] for me.
[D] [A]
[D] Wind [F#m] blows through the trees
[A] [D] [E] Streetlights, they still [A] shine bright.
[E] Most things are the [A] same
But [B] I miss my [Bm] dad tonight.
I
[E] [A] walked by a [D] Salvation Army store
[A] Saw [E] a hat like my [A] daddy wore
Tried it [E] on [D] when I walked [E] in
Still trying to be [A] like him.
[E] No matter how [D] hard I [A] try
No [E] matter how many [D]
years go by
[E] No matter how many tears [F#m] I cry
[D] I still [E] can't say [D] goodbye.
