[Intro]
E A E G# A
[Strophe]
A E B
They say boys don't cry
A
But your daddy shed a lot of tears
E G#
They say I should be a strong man
A
But baby, I'm still filled with fear
E B
Sometimes I don't know who I am
A
Sometimes I question why I'm here
E G#
I just wanna be a good dad
A
Will I be? I have no idea
[Strophe]
E
They say girls shouldn't be tough
A
And moms should raise their kids at home
E G#
But baby, I know that that isn't true
A
Cause your momma's the toughest person I know
E
I wanna raise you to be like her
A
And watch you show the world how to do it on your own
E G#
I'm still tryna figure out who I am
A E
I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong
[Strophe]
E A
I'm gonna be there for your first breath
E
I don't know if I'll be there for your first step
G#
I can promise you that I'll try to work less
A
But the tour's routed, and I got this album
E
Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome
A
To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of
[Strophe]
E G#
Don't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTime
A E
But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time
E A
I won't spoil you, you can trust that
A E
For your sweet 16, you get a bus pass
E G#
Had your heart broken? Been there, done that
A
I love you and I can't give you enough of that
[Strophe]
E
Give back to community that raised you up
A
Read Langston Hughes, I suggest "A Raisin in the Sun"
E G#
Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come
A E
You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love
E A
Don't try to change the world, find something that you love
A
And do it every day
E G#
Do that for the rest of your life
A
And eventually, the world will change
[Refrain]
A E A
I'll be patient, one more month
A E G# A E
You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb
E A
Times are changing, I know, but who am I if
E G# A
I'm the person you become
A E A
If I'm still growing up, up, up, up
A E A
I'm still growing up, up, up, up
E
I'm still growing up
[Strophe]
E A
I recommend that you read The Alchemist
A E
Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus
E A
Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence
A E
And every day, give your momma a compliment
[Strophe]
E B
Take your girl to the prom
B A
But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo
A E G#
Slow dance with your woman in your arms
G# A
Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe
A F#m G#
Don't wake your mom up, do yoga, learn 'bout karma
A B
Find god, but leave the dogma
[Strophe]
E A
The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selfless
A
Ask more questions, talk about yourself less
E G#
Study David Bowie, James Bowen and 2Pac
A E
Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop
[Strophe]
E A
Wear a helmet, don't be stupid
A
Jaywalk, but look before you do it
A E G#
If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help
A
Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends till it melts
[Strophe]
A E
Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance
E A
You're only young once, my love, one, this is your chance
A E G#
Take risks, cause life moves so fast
A
You're only young once, my love, one, this is your chance
