G
Sub-standard Dad
Am D7
But the only one I had
G
I grew up hearing your evil scheming
E Em
down the hall.
C C#dim
But when I look at this thing
G E7
It makes me wanna sing
A7 D7
Maybe you're not so bad a dad after
G B7
all.
Em
At my first ever swim meet,
B7
You stepped on the other team's feet.
Em B
At my recital you clapped louder than
Em
you should.
C A
But when you taught me how to drive
E E7
We actually made it home alive
A7
I guess it's possible not every part of
D B7
you isn't good.
Em
I know at times I would cringe
B B7
Like when you wore all that fringe
Em
And when you went out of your way to
B7 Em
catch that foul ball
(Booing)
C Am
But this piece of plastic in my hand
G E7
Makes me finally understand
A7
Maybe you're not so bad a dad
D7 G Cm G
Not so bad a dad after all...
