Talking about being new dads and you know how that really changes your life, especially for men.
You ladies, when we have daughters, it seems to [D] really be something different and this song is all about that.
Well I woke up in places I couldn't remember
[G] Who's lying next?
How the hell I got there?
[D] It's hard to believe, [A] but at times [D] to know
So one Tuesday night at an underground pool hall
[G] I met her at the bar, was right around last call
[D] And she stoned [A] my heart, I started down [D] a new road
Oh, when I'm holding her, it's [Bm] like peace, oh
[G] When time stands still, [A] love's the only thing
[F#m] [A] And I feel the war [D] when she's in my heart
No [Bm] matter where we are, [G] yeah I'm at home
When [A] I'm home, [D]
on a park bench on 4th street
I popped the question [G] to my mate
She actually said [A] yes, tears from my eyes
As I slipped down a ring [D] on her hand
And a few short years later, and into the world
Came a [G] six pound eight ounce, sweet baby girl
[D] And [A] ever since [D] that day [A] on, I've been [Em] a brand [D] new man
Oh, when I'm holding her, it's [Bm] like peace, oh
When [G] time stands still, love's [A] the only [D] thing
[A] And I feel the war when [D] she's in my heart
No [Bm] matter where we are, [G] yeah I'm at home
