Tom: G

INTRO: G  C  G

                           C
I never ran with the pack
                       G
I'm not alone anymore
                 Em           Am
I go to work and I come back
                           D             C
It's pretty clear what I'm working for


                  G                 C
Now I know that I don't come first
                       G
I know some of what my parents knew
     C             G                  D
It's me to we, and ours from his and hers


C                          G
More of all that, what you have to do
  C                           G
I figure it's bigger than the both of us too
  C                        G                         D
I wouldn't know love if it weren't for the likes of you


C          G                 Am
Who's that little boy over there?
       C             G       Am           D
With a spoon in his hand and food in his hair?
     C    G   Am  D

                                   C
And the little bit that I give up
                       G
It's all coming back a hundred-fold
                     Em            Am
It's not lost, if it goes to love
                    D               C
It rounds you out, so you can roll


              G
Extra eyes to watch your back
C                   G
Keep you honest and cut you slack
C                               G                    D
Who'd a-known that I would ever talk about that with you


  C             G                   Am
I see my family waving from the doorway
C              G    Am       D
Once I went my way, now I go your way
     C    G   Am  D
