Dad Song

[Verso 1]
 
    C                G               D           Em     D 
Sometimes you text me your favourite lyrics of mine 
    C                  G                D                   Em 
The first thing that I do is smile, the second is check the time 
              C                      G 
Cause if it's late, then you've been drinking 
               D                      Em    D 
If you've been drinking, you tell the truth 
    C              G                  D              G 
No, I don't get angry, I'll take what I can get from you 
 


[Refrão]
 
      Bm              C 
Don't wait for me to sing it 
                     G   G/F#  C 
Just ask me what you want to know 
C                   G        D            C                G  Bm  C 
God, I'm such a hypocrite, writing this instead of picking up the phone 

C    G    D   Em D 
C    G    D   Em D 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C            G                    D           Em     D 
Recently you told me that you've kept a diary 
     C               G       D 
You found a gap from '96 to 2015 
    C           G           D                 Em     D 
The year I was born to the year I left the house 
        C        G                      D         G 
If you could go back, what would you have written about? 
 


[Refrão]
 
      Bm                C 
Don't let me get you all wrong 
                     G  G/F# C 
Just show me who you really are 
C                    G             Bm                  C                 G    D/F#  C 
Do you know who that is, maybe you do, but if you don't, then it's not too late to start  

C    G    D   Em D 
C    G    D (x4) 



[Verso 3]
 
  C                    G            D           Em     D 
I finally called you after Kelly's dad got diagnosed 
  C                 G               D 
Through my tears I told you that I wanna be close 
         C              G               D            Em     D 
I could barely choke it out, asking if you want that too 
           C                 G               D               G 
You said, "Honey I'd get on a plane right now if you asked me to" 
 


[Refrão]
 
      Bm                C 
Don't wait till he's a memory 
                     G  G/F# C 
Just go to Florida, have some fun 
C               G       Bm             C 
Football on the TV, talking till we fall asleep 
          G D/F# C 
You're my number one
