[Verse]
D
Son, let me tell you how much I love you
                                   G
And I hope you and your mama understand
                       D
How sorry I am for not being here
          A
When you needed my heart and my hands
       D
But believe me when I say it's gonna be different now
                                     G
No more nights wondering where daddy is
                                 D
From now on I'm gonna be right here for you
        A
Can you find it in your heart to forgive

You see

D
Daddies need to grow up too
                                             G
Learn what they should and they shouldn't do

In a way we're a lot like you
D
We need some understanding

Daddies stumble, daddies fall
                              A
We don't really know it all

I'm gonna try and make it up to you
                        D
Daddies need to grow up too

A        D

D
Son, I know that you've looked up to me
                                      G
Even when I let you down and made you cry
                                   D
But tonight it's me who feels like crying
    A
And you're the hero in my eyes

You see

D
Daddies need to grow up too
                                             G
Learn what they should and they shouldn't do

In a way we're a lot like you
D
We need some understanding

Daddies stumble, daddies fall
                             A
We don't really know it all

I'm gonna try and make it up to you
                        D
Daddies need to grow up too

D
Daddies need to grow up too
                                               G
Learn what they should and they shouldn't do

In a way we're a lot like you
D
We need Home understanding

Daddies stumble, daddies fall
                             A
We don't really know it all

I'm gonna try and make it up to you
                        D
Daddies need to grow up too
