[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 Dm7
Girl I know you think that it's me you're hurtin'
Cmaj9
By denying me the right, take part in his life
Gm7 C9
That ain't fair to him and it just ain't right
Fmaj7 Dm7
And I know you think that I don't deserve it
Cmaj9
But for our child's sake, don't make this mistake
Gm7 C9
Don't make him choose between us
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Dm7
Oh, remember the words that I told you, yeah
Cmaj9
He's gonna resent you when he's older
Gm7 C9
And trust me, you don't want that kind of pain
Fmaj7 Dm7
(No, no, no) He's a part of me that you know you can't deny
Cmaj9
And baby no matter how hard you try
Gm7
When you look at him you'll see me in his eyes
[Chorus]
C9 Fmaj7
It may seem right now
Dm7
But soon you'll find out
Cmaj9
Just who you're hurting babe
Gm7
Now let me see my child
C9 Fmaj7
Before it's too late
Dm7
His heart fills with hate
Cmaj9
We've got to work it out
Gm7 C9
Now let me see my child___
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 Dm7
You can't tell me he don't ever ask about me
Cmaj9
Can you tell him the truth, about me and you
Gm7 C9
Or will you tell lies cause it's easy to do
Fmaj7 Dm7
You have to know that it's not a game
Cmaj9
'Cause, I'm here to stay, this child bears my name
Gm7 C9
My blood runs through his veins
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Dm7
Just because you and I weren't happy
Cmaj9
Doesn't change the fact that I'm his Daddy
Gm7 C9
So swallow your pride, he needs me in his life
Fmaj7 Dm7
See I need him as every bit as much as you
Cmaj9
So just try to put yourself in my shoes
Gm7
'Cause if you were me what you do
[Chorus]
C9 Fmaj7
It may seem right now
Dm7
But soon you'll find out
Cmaj9
Just who you're hurting babe
Gm7
Now let me see my child
C9 Fmaj7
Before it's too late
Dm7
His heart fills with hate
Cmaj9
We've got to work it out
Gm7 C9
Now let me see my child___
[Bridge]
Dm7 A7sus2
Now I know we both have regret
Dm7 Am7 Abm7 Gm7
For the sake of that boy, lets forgive and forget
C7 Fmaj7 Em7
And I know that it's easier to fight
Dm7 F/G G/A
But just look at him, you have to see the thing we did right
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
It may seem right now
Em7
But soon you'll find out
Dmaj9
Just who you're hurting babe
Am7
Now let me see my child
D9 Gmaj7
Before it's too late
Em7
His heart fills with hate
Dmaj9
We've got to work it out
Am7 D9
Now let me see my child___
[Outro]
Gmaj7 Em7
Child, let me see my child
Dmaj9
I got to see my child
Am7 D9
You're hurting him, you're hurting him
Gmaj7
Child, he needs me in his life
Em7
Child, I gotta show him how to be a man
Dmaj9
Child, I gotta see him, I want to see him
Am7 D9
Child, let me see him
Gmaj7
I want to see my child
Em7 Dmaj9 Am7 D9 Gmaj7
Child, I got to see him
