VERSE
C F C
It seems like it was only yesterday
C F Em
I was just a boy yearning to run
F C
You always seemed so tall
G Am
Your uniform and all
Dm Cadd9 F G
It’s funny how some things they never change
C F C
But now that I’m a man and I’m fully grown
C F Em
I stand and face the world all by myself
F C
If what they said is true
G Am
That I’m a lot like you
Dm Cadd9 F G
You know we’re sharing more than just a name
G Am C
Cause every time I look into the mirror
F C
I see you standing there
G Am C F
Every day I realize you’re more a part of me
G Am C
I am but a face among the crowd
G Am
I hope I’ve made you proud
F C F
I hope I’m half the man you thought I’d be
VERSE
C F C
I’ve been working hard most every night
C F Em
Singing all my songs under the spotlight
F C
Sometimes it gets so rough
G Am
I feel I’ve had enough
Dm Cadd9 F G
But I recall the words you spoke to me
C F C
If you can keep your head and carry on
C F Em
If you can share your strength with those who need
F C
If you can watch it all cave in
G Am
And up and build again
Dm Cadd9 F G
Then you’ll be a man I do believe
G Am C
Cause every time I look into the mirror
F C
I see you standing there
G Am C F
Every day I realize you’re more a part of me
G Am C
I am but a face among the crowd
G Am
I hope I’ve made you proud
F C F
I hope I’m half the man you thought I’d be
VERSE
F Am C
I remember standing next to you
F C
See how tall I grew
C Am F G
I remember falling down and scraping up my knee
G Am C
I am but a face among the crowd
G Am
I hope I’ve made you proud
F C F
I hope I’m half the man you taught me to be
