Intro: G D Bm C

Verse:
   G              D
I see you on the kitchen floor
Bm                  C
Three weeks past the age of four
     G     D       C
Will you remember this?
        G                D
Thereʼs so much that Iʼd like to say
        Bm                C
ʼCause someday youʼll push me away
     G         D      C
And leave your innocence

Pre-chorus:
Bm          C        G                D
Your fatherʼs father loved in his own way
Bm       C              Am              D
We had our moments but he would always say

Chorus:
            C               Bm
That I will fail but always try
              Am               G
And I will Do wrong things and apologize
      C                Bm
And show you what itʼs like
      D
To forgive
                  C               Bm
And Iʼll give you space but never leave
                 Am        G
And be your safe place for you to grieve
      C            Bm             D
When you get lost please remember this
                                 G   D   Bm   C
A fatherʼs love knows where you live

Verse:
  G             D
I see your arm around someone
    Bm              C
The salt and sugar of your love
  G      D       C
I Do remember this
     G                  D
Oh a heart can break a thousand ways
        Bm             C
Thereʼs wisdom in the scars we make
     G        D       C
And time will heal the rest

Pre-chorus:
Bm         C            G                D
Iʼm just a father whoʼs learning his own way
Bm         C        Am             D
All I can offer is exactly what my daddy would say

Chorus:
            C               Bm
Well I will fail but always try
           Am               G
I will Do wrong things and apologize
     C                  Bm
And show you what itʼs like
       D
To forgive
                  C                Bm
And Iʼll give you space but never leave
                 Am                G
And be your safe place for you to grieve
     C             Bm              D
When you get lost please remember this
                                 G
A fatherʼs love knows where you live

Bridge:
    Bm           Em
And I will Do my best
       C              D
To not cushion every fall
Bm             Em
Even though my heart tells me
    C               D
To save you from it all
                   Em        C
Well there will be tears and jealousy
                   Em       C
And there will be loss and victory
    Bm                Em
Gut when your daddyʼs gone
  Am                 D
I hope that you will see

Chorus:
       C                 Bm
That I failed but always tried
           Am               G
I did some wrong things and apologized
      C                  Bm         D
And showed you what itʼs like to forgive
               C                  Bm
And I gave you space but wouldnʼt leave
                Am             G
And Iʼm still a safe place for you to grieve
     C            Bm              D
When you get lost please remember this

       C                 Bm
That I failed but always tried
           Am               G
I did some wrong things and apologized
      C                  Bm         D
And showed you what itʼs like to forgive
           C                  Bm
I gave you space but wouldnʼt leave
                Am             Em
And Iʼm still a safe place for you to grieve
     C            Bm              D
When you get lost please remember this
                                 G   D   Bm   C
A fatherʼs love knows where you live
