[Bb] Oh, Papa, [Cm] sit down and hear [F] my song.
Oh, [Bb] and if you [C] feel like it, then [Eb] please [F] sing along.
No, [Bb] nothing [C] that I want to [Eb] say I haven't [F] said before.
[Bb] But to use [C] your words, you [Eb] can never [F] be too sure.
See, [Eb] even though I don't [F] always show, I'm glad that you're [Bb] around.

Said I'm glad that you're [Bb] around.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
Oh, [Bb] son, it's [Cm] so strange to [Eb] hear [F] and see that [Bb] someone [Eb] so different is a soul [F] like me.
You [Bb] may have [Eb] gone right where I would have [F] gone [Bb] left, but son, [Eb] that's all right.
I will always [F] have your back.
See, [Eb] even though I don't [F] always show, I'm glad that you're [Bb] my [Cm] son.

Oh, [Bb] dad, [Eb] your views in life.
Tell me how [F] they came to be.
Well, [Bb] see, I didn't know [Eb] my father like the way [F] that you know me.
So [Bb] my life [Eb] is too short for us [F] to never be in touch.
