[Bb] [Gm] [Bb] [Eb]
[Gm] [Bb] [Eb]
[Gm] I guess it's human nature [Eb] tuggin' at my [Bb] sleeve
That gets me thinkin' too much [Fm] about what I'm supposed to be
[Gm] I keep aimin' higher [Eb] like everybody else
[Bb] Forgettin' what I need to be [F] is [Bb] just to be myself
It's [Eb] not like everybody's waitin' [Bb] to see if I go far
It's not like [Eb] everybody's watchin' though [F] sometimes I think they [Bb] are
I [Eb] don't have to change the world, [Bb] I don't have to [Gm] walk on water
[Bb] All I have to be [F] is my [Bb] daughter's father
[Gm]
[Bb] She's [Eb] [Gm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Gm] just like her mama [Eb] when it comes to me
[Bb] Couldn't fool her if I tried [F] to, her I'll always be
[Gm] Nothin' more than daddy, [Eb] and when she says that [Bb] word
It's a wonderful reminder [F] of why I'm on [Bb] this earth
It's [Eb] not like everybody's waitin' [Bb] to see if I go far
It's not like [Eb] everybody's watchin' [F] though sometimes I think they [Bb] are
[Eb] I don't have to change the world, [Bb] I don't have to walk [Gm] on water
[Bb]
All I have to be [F] is my [Bb] daughter's father
A [Gm] man is often measured [Eb] by what he does in life
[Gm] It made mine worth livin' [F] when I realized
It's [Eb] not like [Bb] everybody's waitin' to see if I go far
It's [Eb] not like everybody's watchin' [F] though sometimes I think they are
[Eb] I don't have to change the world, [Bb] I don't have to walk on [Gm] water
[Bb] All I have to be [F] is my [Gm] daughter's father
[Eb] Yeah, [Bb] all I have to be [F] is [Bb] my daughter's father
