 G                                         C
 When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
      D                                  C    G
 It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
                                   C
 My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
              D                          C               G
 Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run…
 G                                C
 I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old
            D                          C             G
 He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
                                C
 A few months later I remember lying there in bed
         D                                C                    G
 I over heard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes… And then,
 
 (chorus)
 Am                     D
 All of a sudden Oh it seemed so strange to me
         G                                  C
 How we went from something's missing to a family
 Am                         D                              Em
 Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
 Am                              D                         G
 Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be.
 G                                      C
 I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago
     D                                C                G
 We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more
                                     C
 Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
          D                                C             G
 Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in… And now,
 
 (chorus)
 Am                     D
 All of a sudden Oh it seemed so strange to me
            G                                  C
 How we've gone from something's missing to a family
 Am                                 D
 Looking through the glass I think about the man
                        Em
 who's standing next to me
 Am                                D                         G
 And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be!
 Am
