Intro: F# C# Ebm B 


F#                C# 
Back when I was a child 
Ebm            B 
before life removed all the innocence 
F#                C#          Ebm 
my father would lift me high 
                   B                      
and dance with my mother and me and then, 
F#                    Ebm                
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep 
Abm                        Ebm 
then up the stairs he would carry me 
       B                   C# 
and I knew for sure I was loved

If I could get another chance,  
 Ebm            B                      Abm 
another walk, another dance with him, 
                             Ebm 
I'd play a song that would never, never end 
         B                   C#                 F#      
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

When I and my mother would disagree, 
Ebm                    B                     
to get my way I would run from her to him 
F#                           C# 
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah yeah 
Ebm                  B 
and finally make me do just what my mama said 
F#                      Ebm 
later that night when I was asleep, 
Abm              Ebm 
he left a dollar under my sheet 
       B                       C# 
never dreamed that he would be gone from me.

If I could steal one final glance, 
    Ebm              B 
one final step, one final dance with him 
Abm                          Ebm 
I'd play a song that would never, ever end 
            B                  C#                    F# 
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again 

Bridge:
 
B                       C# 
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door 
F#                 C# Ebm          C# B 
and I hear my mother cried for him 
                     C# 
I pray for her even more than me, 
B                    C# 
I pray for her even more than me.

   Ab                 Eb 
I know I'm praying, for much too much 
     Fm                     C# 
but could you send back the only man she loved, 
Bbm                     Fm               C# 
I know you don't do it usually, but dear Lord she's dying  
    Eb                 Ab      Eb 
to dance with my father again. 


C#                        Eb                  Ab 
Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dreamed
