Verse:

     C

They say boys don’t cry

G          F                G

But your daddy shed a lot of tears

    C                       G

They say I should be a strong man

   F

But baby, I’m still filled with fear

     C

Sometimes I don’t know who I am

G          F

Sometimes I question why I’m here

GC                    G

I just wanna be a good dad

      F

Will I be? I have no idea

       C                 G

They say girls shouldn’t be tough

    F                              G

And moms should raise their kids at home

     C                         G

But baby, I know that that isn’t true

            F

Cause your momma’s the toughest person I know

    C

I wanna raise you to be like her

       G               F                      G

And watch you show the world how to do it on your own

      C                       G

I’m still tryna figure out who I am

                       F

I don’t wanna mess this up or do this wrong

 

C                          G

I’m gonna be there for your first breath

F                                    G

I don’t know if I’ll be there for your first step

C                            G        F

I can promise you that I’ll try to work less

F

But the tour’s routed, and I got this album

C                            G

Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome

F                                             G

To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of

C                             G

Don’t wanna be a dad that’s living in FaceTime

F

But I’ve got a world to sing to and you at the same time

C                            G

I won’t spoil you, you can trust that

F                            G

For your sweet 16, you get a bus pass

C                     G

Had your heart broken? Been there, done that

F

I love you and I can’t give you enough of that

C

Get back to community that raised you up

     F

Read Langston Hughes, I suggest “A Raisin in the Sun”

   C                E

Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon’ come

            F

You put the work in, don’t worry about the praise, my love

C                                                     F

Don’t try to change the world, find something that you love

F            G

And do it every day

C                          G

Do that for the rest of your life

F

And eventually, the world will change

 

Chorus:

       C        G       F

I’ll be patient, one more month

       G         C   E         F

You’ll wrap your fingers round my thumb

C                 G    F               G

Times are changing, I know, but who am I if

         C     E   F

I’m the person you become

F                  C       F

If I’m still growing up, up, up, up

                   C           F

If I’m still growing up, up, up, up

F                C

I’m still growing up

Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence

And every day, give your momma a compliment

Take your girl to the prom

But don’t get too drunk hanging out the limo

Slow dance with your woman in your arms

By god, believe the dogma

Ask more questions, talk about yourself less
