Verse 1: 

           G     G     G 
From the time your hand 
       G            Em Em 
Didn't fit round my finger 
    Em              Em       D D 
The first time that I saw you smile

I realized why I'm alive 
         G    G 
And that time we 
G              G             Em Em 
First hear you say the word, daddy

And when your front teeth disappeared 
               C C            G 
Let's still be clear, why I'm here

My love for you, child, will conquer it all

            G 
There'll be battles 
    G           G          Em Em 
And they may be too big to handle 
    Em                  Em                D D  
But while there's still strength in these bones

You'll never fight them alone

When your little heart breaks 
G            G             Em    Em   
Know that we feel each and every ache 
Em           Em        D D 
Before you I never did know

Just how deep my love could go

They can't compare to you my son, no
