INTRO
F#m7
Lately I've been noticing
D F#m7 D
I say the same things he used to say,
F#m7 D F#m7 D
And I even find myself acting the very same way.
E
I tap my fingers on the table to the rhythm in my soul,
D(add9)
And I jingle the car keys when I'm ready to go.
E
When I look in the mirror, he's right there in my eyes,
D(add9)
Starin' back at me and I realize:
A E/Ab
The older I get, the more I can see,
F#m D
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me.
A E/Ab
And he did the best that he could,
F#m D Bm7
And I only hope when I have my own family
A/Db D E F#m7 D F#m7 D
That every day I see a little more of my father in me.
F#m7 D F#m7 D
There were times I thought he was bein' just a little bit hard on me.
F#m7
But now I understand he was makin' me
D F#m7 D
Become the man he knew that I could be.
E
In everything he ever did, he always did with love,
D(add9)
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son.
E
When somebody says 'I hope I get to meet your dad',
D(add9)
I just smile and say 'You already have'.
A E/Ab
The older I get, the more I can see,
F#m D
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me.
A E/Ab
And he did the best that he could,
F#m D Bm7
And I only hope when I have my own family
A/Db D E D E/D D
That every day I see a little more of my father in me.
A E/Ab
He's in my eyes, my heart, my soul,
F#m
My hands, my pride,
D A
And when I feel alone and I think I can't go on,
E/Ab F#m D F#m7
I hear him sayin' 'Son, you'll be alright,
E F#m7
Everything's gonna be alright'.

I hope every day I see a little more of my father in me.

A little more of my father in me.

A little more of my father in me.
