Tabbed by Rob Ross
Capo 2nd Fret
When a Gsingle mom goes out on a date with Csomebody new
It Dalways winds up feeling more like a jCobG interview
My momma used to wonder if she'd Cever meet someone
Who wouldn't Dfind out about me and then Cturn around and Grun
I Gmet the man I call my dad when CI was 5 years old
He tooDk my mom out to a movie and for Conce I got to Ggo
A few months later I rememberC lying there in bed
I overheaDrd him pop the question and I pCrayed that she'd sGay yes... And then
(1st Chorus)
AmAll of a sudden oh it Dseemed so strange to me
How we Gwent from somethings Cmissing to a family
AmLooking back all I can say Dabout all the things he did for Emme
Is GI hope I'm at least half the Cdad that he didn't have to be
(Chords stay the same for next verse)
I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago
We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in... And now
(2nd Chorus) - (Chords Stay same - Words Change)
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
How we've gone from somethings missing to a family
Looking through the glass I think about the man who's standing next to me
And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
