Intro: G

G                  Dsus4/F#
When I was younger
                Cadd9
I told my mother
                                     G
"I say, one day I'm gonna make you proud"
G                 Dsus4/F#
Now that I'm older
                   Cadd9
It's so much harder
                        G
To say those words out loud


G                     Dsus4/F#
You're growing taller
                 Cadd9
A little smarter
                                G
And one day you're gonna leave home
G                     Dsus4/F#             Cadd9
Oh, will you look like your mother's father
                        G
Oh, when you are fully grown?


Cadd9       Em7
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh
Dsus4
ooh hoo ooh hoo oohooo
Cadd9       Em7
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh
Dsus4
ooh hoo...


G                  Dsus4/F#
When I was younger, 
                  Cadd9
I asked my father
                  G
"Why are we so human?"
G                  Dsus4/F#
Now that I'm older
                     Cadd9
I think I figured it out
                          G
We're just doing what we can


Cadd9       Em7
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh
Dsus4                         x3
ooh hoo ooh hoo oohooo

Cadd9       Em7
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh
Dsus4
ooh hoo...


G                      Cadd9   Em7           Dsus4/F#
Cause I won't, I won't let you down, I won't let you, 
G                Cadd9   Em7      Dsus4/F#
I won’t, I won't let you down, oh now
G                Cadd9   Em7           Dsus4/F#
I won't, I won't let you down, I won't let you, 
G                Cadd9   Em7        Dsus4/F#
I won't, I won't let you down


G                  Dsus4/F#
When I was younger,
                Cadd9
I told my mother
                                    G
"I say, one day I'm gonna make you proud"
