My Boy

Tom: A

A               E                  D           F#m
 He ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit
        A         E              D      E      A
He's got somebody else's eyes I'm seeing myself in
            E                       D                   F#m
I'm holding on to every moment, God knows I've missed a few
    A           E              D        E     A
The day we met I knew I had some catching up to do


[Chorus]
F#m           E                      A
   He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
          D                     F#m
But if he did, I'd feel the same
         E                     A
I wasn't there for his first steps
            D                   F#m
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
    E                            A
And that ain't ever gonna change
D
I could never walk away
F#m              E                    A
   Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
           D                 F#m     E      A   D
He ain't my blood but he's my,  he's my boy


[Verse 2]
A          E                       D                 F#m
 It hit me like a train, the first time he called me dad
     A                 E                    D         E       A
In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holding hands
         E                      D                 F#m
His mama said, "I understand if it's too soon for this"
  A                       E                             D        E      A
I didn't let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah


[Chorus]
F#m           E                      A
   He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
          D                   F#m
But if he did, I'd feel the same
         E                     A
I wasn't there for his first steps
            D                   F#m
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
    E                            A
And that ain't ever gonna change
D
I could never walk away
F#m              E                    A
   Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
           D                 F#m     E      A   D
He ain't my blood but he's my,  he's my boy

[Bridge]
F#m
   He's Saturday morning cartoons
E
 He's "Hey, can I sleep in your room?"
A
 He's bigger than the plans I had
     D
He's making me a better man


[Chorus]
F#m           E                      A
   He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
          D                   F#m
But if he did, I'd feel the same
         E                     A
I wasn't there for his first steps
            D                   F#m
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
    E                            A
And that ain't ever gonna change
D
I could never walk away
F#m              E                    A
   Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
           D                 F#m     E      A   D
He ain't my blood but he's my,  he's my boy
             F#m     E      A   D
Yeah, he's my,  he's my boy
