Intro Chords:
G D D/C# Bm Bm/A G A D F#m/D
I never once backed down from a punch
D7 G
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
Gm D D/C# Bm
Well I found out fast, a bully's just that
Em A
And you've got to stand up to him
D F#m/D
So I didn't cry when I got a black eye
D7 G
As bad as it hurt I just grinned
Gm D D/C# Bm Bm/A
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads
G A D
They turn into big babies again
Bm G
Scared me to death when you took your first steps
D A D D/C#
Well I'd fall everytime you fell down
Bm G D/F#
And your first day of school, I cried like a fool
Em A
And I followed your school bus to town
[Refrão]
D F#m/D
Well I didn't cry when old Yeller died
D7 G
At least not in front of my friends
Gm D D/C# Bm Bm/A
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads
G A G
They turn into big babies again
[Próxima Parte]
D D/C# Bm Bm/A G A D F#m/D
Well I'm a grown man but as strong as I am
D7 G
Well sometimes it's hard to believe
Gm D D/C# Bm
How one little girl with little blonde curls
Em A
Can totally terrify me
D F#m/D
If you were to ask, my wife would just laugh
D7 G
She'd say I know all about men
Gm D D/C# Bm Bm/A
How tough little boys grow up to be Dads
G A D
They turn into big babies again
Bm G
Well I know one day I'll give you away
D A D
And I'm gonna to stand there and smile
Bm G G/F#
But when I get home and I'm all alone
Em A
Then I'll sit in your room for awhile
Chorus:
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Gm D D/C# Bm
When tough little boys grow up to be Dads
G A D
They turn into big babies again
G D D/C# Bm Bm/A G A D
