Capo 6 to match record. Chords aren't exactly over the correct words, but it's close! [Verse 1] C G Mama called about the paper turns out they wrote about me Am Now my broken heart´s the only thing that's broke about me C G So many people should have seen what we got going on Am I only wanna put my heart and my life in songs C G Writing about the pain I felt with my daddy gone Am About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone C G About the happiness i feel when I sing it loud Am He should have heard the noise we made with the happy crowd [Chorus] F G Did my grandaddy know he taught me what a poem was Em Am How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause F G What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was Em Am I thought about it for a while and I'm at a loss F G Knowing that I´m gonna live my whole life without him Em Am I found out a lot of things I never knew about him F G All I know is that I´ll never really be alone Em Am Cause we gotta lot of love and a happy home C G Am x2 [Verse 2] C G Magazines are writing stuff but I don´t ever read them Am Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing C G That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them Am I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them C G Don´t you know I miss the times when we used to hang Am Before twenty deep depended on a single man C G Before a single heart was broken by a single blow Am Before all our careers depended on a single show [Chorus] F G I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home Em Am Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road F G I realize privacy´s becoming difficult Em Am It´s all right now but what about when I´m old F G I know my good friends now they´ll last Em Am the same ones that stood by me when my daddy past F G All I know is that we´ll never really be alone Em Am Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home C G Am x2 [Verse 3] C G I write a lot of songs will anybody ever read them Am You hear them on the radio but will you really read them C G Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them Am After we see them on TV we really wanna meet them C G Don´t you think they miss the time when they used to hang Am Before a fan base depended on a single man C G Before a single heart was broken by a single show Am Who´s gonna stand who´s gonna fall I really wanna know [Chorus] F G I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home Em Am My daddy use to play me vinyl but now daddy´s gone F G I used to practice with my mommy on the piano Em Am I still get nervous every time I know she´s at a show F G Now my family comes first before everyone Em Am I had the perfect dad I wanna be the perfect son F G Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own Em Am I know I got a lot of love and a happy home
