[F] [C] [G]
[F] [C]
By the time I made it home, [Am] you were already in bed
[C] Chubby cheek [G] pressed to your pillow by a [C] bedtime book you'd read
And I noticed that you looked older [Am] than you did yesterday
[G] while I was [C] away
You made a pile of leaves in the front yard, I [Am] guess it's already fall
your mama took, the two of you had [C] a ball

By the time I made it home, _ [Am] you were already in bed _ _
[C] Chubby cheek [G] pressed to your pillow _ by a [C] bedtime book you'd read _
_ _ _ And I noticed that you looked older [Am] than you did yesterday
_ You'd [C] been growing up _
[G] while I was [C] away _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You made a pile of leaves in the front yard, I [Am] guess it's already fall
_ _ [G] By the look of those pictures your mama took, the two of you had [C] a ball _ _ _ _ _
And it made me glad, but a little sad [G] to see those games [Am] you played
I [G] missed a lot of smiles while I [C] was away
_ _ And for [G]
[Am] every dollar I earned, [F] there's a lesson you learned [C] without me there
[G] And every [Am] day I'm on the go, [F] I'm praying that you know [G] your [C] daddy _ [G] cared _ _
[C] Cause the hardest part about working hard [Am] ain't the bills I gotta pay _ _
[C] It's you growing [G] up while I was [C] away _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I found your note in the kitchen, _ [Am] it's a real work of art _ _
[C] A stick man holding your stick hand with daddy written in a heart _ _
_ _ _ And it got me good cause I understood _ [A] just what you meant to say
_ [Am] _ [G] You'd been missing me too [C] while I was away _ _
And [G] for [Am] every dollar I earned, [F] there's a lesson you learned [C] without me _ there
[G] And [Am] every day I'm on the go, [F] I'm praying that you know [G] your daddy _ cared
_ _ [C] Cause the hardest part about working hard [Am] ain't the bills I gotta pay
_ [G] It's you growing up while I was [C] away _
You _ _ know the hardest part [E] about working [Em] hard [Am] ain't the bills I gotta [F] _ pay
_ _ _ [E] It's [Dm] everything I missed _ _ [G]
while _ _ I was _ away _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _
