[Ebm] [Db]
By the time I made it home [Bbm] you were already in bed
[Gb] Chubby cheek pressed [Ab] to your pillow
By [Db] a bedtime book you'd read
And I noticed that you looked older [Bbm] than you did yesterday
[Db] You've been growing up [Ab] while I was [Db] away
You made a pile of leaves in the front yard, I [Bbm] guess it's already fall
[Db] By the look of those pictures [Ab] your mama took
The two of [Db] you had a ball
And it made me glad
But a little sad [Bbm] to see those games you play
I [Db] missed a lot of smiles
[Ab]
While I was [Db] away
And for [Bbm] every dollar [Ab] I [Gb] earn there's a lesson you [Db] learn without me there
And [Bbm] every day I'm on [Ab] the [Gb] go I'm praying that [Ab] you know your daddy care
Cuz [Db] the hardest part about working [Bbm] hard ain't the bills I gotta pay
[Db] It's you growing up [Fm] while [Ab] I was [Db] away
And I found your note in the kitchen
[Bbm] It's a real work of art
[Dbm] A stick [Ab] man holding your stick hand with daddy written [Db] in a heart
And it got me good cuz I understood just [Gb] what you meant to say
[Ab] You've been missing [Db] me [Ab] too while I was [Db] away
And for every dollar I [Ab] earn [Gb] there's a lesson [Cm] you [Db] learn without me there
And [Bbm] every day I'm on the [Ab] go [Gb] I'm praying that you [Ab] know your daddy care
[Db] Cuz the hardest part about working [Bbm] hard ain't the bills I gotta pay
[Db] It's you growing [Ab] up while I [Db] was away
You know the hardest [F] part about working [Ab] hard [Bbm] ain't the bills [Eb] I gotta [Gb] pay
It's [F]
