Intro:
Eb  Fm  Ab  
Eb  Fm  Ab
Verse:
    Eb     
Daddy, 
              Eb  
when you were a little kid 
                              Ab
what did you dream you'd be
                            Ab
When you grew up
             Eb
And daddy, 
                  Eb   
did you think that you'd play ball 
                        Ab
in the major leagues
                           Ab
Cranking home runs
                             Fm
And did you want to be an astronaut
   Eb/G
Maybe the president
               Ab
Or maybe not grow up at all like Peter Pan
 
Chorus:
                         Cm                  Bb   
Well son I dreamt that I'd be big 
                               Ab
and strong like Superman
                                       Cm
Or a better man than him
                            Bb  
Thought that I'd get rich 
                     Ab
and get a big old house 
                                         Eb
on a big old piece of land 
                                  Fm                       Ab
Then you showed up and wrecked my life
                                         Cm  
Son you helped me realize 
               Bb                 Ab
that being dad to you 
                                               Eb   Fm  Ab
is a dream I never had come true
 
Verse 2:
Eb   
Son, 
                Eb
don't ever lose sight of that little boy 
           Ab
inside of you
                              Ab
When you grow up
Eb  
Son, 
                    Eb
hope you always hear your mama's 
                   Ab
voice reminding you
                               Ab
Where you come from
                 Fm
If you ever feel like giving up
                        Eb/G
Like you're a million miles away
           Ab
Remember all those innocent dreams 

and they'll all fall into place
 
2 Chorus:
                  Cm                     Bb  
If you dream of growing big 
                                 Ab
and strong like Superman
                                               Cm
You be a better man than him
                       Bb  
If one day you get rich 
                      Ab
and get a big old house hope 
                                        Eb
you think of your old man
                                  Fm                        Ab
When a girl shows up and wrecks your life
                            Cm
Makes you realize 
                  Bb                          Ab
what a grown man's gotta do 
                                                              
when the dream he never had 
          Eb      Fm   Eb/G  Ab
comes true
                                        Eb      Fm  Eb/G  Ab
Dream he never had comes true
 
Bridge:
                Fm7
Well I never was an astronaut
             Eb/G
Never met the president
      Ab
Watching you grow up has been 
           Ab
my best accomplishment
 
Final -Chorus:
          Cm                    Bb   
I thought that I'd be big 
                              Ab
and strong like Superman
                                            Cm
But we both know I ain't him
                    Bb                   Ab
And I have fallen down a time or two 
                                      Eb
but I get back up again
                             Fm                             Ab
Since you showed up and wrecked my life
                                       Cm 
Son you helped me realize 
                         Bb                 Ab
I still have growing up to do
Cm7            Bb                    Ab  
My son growing up with you
                                                Eb     Fm  Ab 
 is a dream I never had come true
                                           Eb     Fm  Ab
Dream I never had come true
