Tom: Dm
Dm
My daddy is a hero, he helps me grow up strong
He helps me snuggle too, he reads me books
He ties my shoes - you're a hero through and through
My daddy, daddy I love you…
[Intro]
Dm
Dm F C
Once upon a time...
[Verse 1]
Dm C
Once upon a time, in the darkest of lands
Bb A
There was a lady who couldn't see the light
Dm C
Her demons were strong, she built her own cage
Bb A
But one day her savior came in through the night
Dm C
They fell in love, and he made her his bride
Bb A
A family was all that her heart desired
Dm C
The years brought a first, and a second young child
Bb A
The third was to follow and complete their lives
[Chorus]
Dm C
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Bb A
Bedtimes stories and lullabies we sing
Dm C
It will never be the same, the last time I know
Bb A
I knew the day before
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Appearances are deceptive, and suddenly one day
Bb A
A hero's demeanor had started to change
Dm C
Something was off, something was strange
Bb A
It seemed like his feelings had faded away
Dm C
She cried herself to sleep every night
Bb A
Afraid of losing and saying goodbye
Dm C
She would have fought, but he denied
Bb A
Drawn to a mistress, he wanted a new life
[Chorus]
Dm C
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Bb A
Bedtimes stories and lullabies we sing
Dm C
It will never be the same, the last time I know
Bb A
I knew the day before
Dm C
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Bb A
No daddy, no, daddy, please don't
Dm C
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Bb A
Hide us away, bury mommy nearby
Dm C Bb A
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Dm C Bb A
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
[Outro]
Dm C Bb A
No daddy, no, daddy, please don’t
Dm C Bb A
Let's hide us away, bury mommy nearby
