Key of G
[Intro]
G C x2
[Verse]
G
I saw your breath
C D G
As you backed in that muddy old truck
Em
You packed your memories
C D
And left us all your bad luck
G
I blew on the glass
C D Em
But you missed my piece of art
C
Then, I watched you leave
D G C G
Through my windowpane heart
[Chorus]
D C
As a child, I wanted you to be
G D G
Everything I didn’t see
D
A daddy to have and hold
C
A warm hand in the cold
G D
But too many years, I blamed me
C D G
For this fairy tale family that wasn’t meant to be
[Verse]
G
Look at Mamma’s wedding picture
C D G
And her honeymoon glow
Em
Was that a make believe “I do”
C D
Where did all that happiness go
G
I’ve come to learn
C D Em
Some moments that you steal
C
Turn to fractures
D G C G
That never seem to heal
[Chorus]
D C
As a child, I wanted you to be
G D G
Everything I didn’t see
D
A daddy to have and hold
C
A warm hand in the cold
G D
But too many years, I blamed me
C D G
For this fairy tale family that wasn’t meant to be
D
A daddy to have and hold
C
A warm hand in the cold
G D
But too many years, I blamed me
C D G
For this fairy tale family that wasn’t meant to be
C D G
For this fairy tale family that wasn’t meant to be
